5 Chrome Extensions That Improve Google+
Google+ has only been around about 6 weeks. It's getting rave reviews, for a number of reasons:
1) The "circles" concepts enables posts to be highly targeted, so you send information to exactly who will want it, and you receive less uninteresting material as well.
2) Less threat of your data/photos being misused? Google has had time to learn from Facebook's careless treatment of personal data and the negative reaction to Facebook's apparent intent to sell your photos for random, who-knows-what use.
3) It's much easier to connect. I've been on Google+ 2 or 3 weeks and I already have far, far more interaction over there, on a platform far smaller than Facebook.
4) Twitter with photos and no 140 character limit, Facebook without the 400 character limit. Just say what you need to say.
They're trying to grow gradually so as not to bog down the service so it can be hard to register, but each user has an allocation of 150 invitations, so let me know if you need one (I'll need your email address).
If you're already on Google +, look ma up. Here's my standard Google+ URL:
https://plus.google.com/107459220492917008623/posts
Once you're on Google+ you can register for a shorter, easier to type and remember redirect like this one, using Google Plus Nick:
