I’ve been toying with Google+ for a few weeks now and I must admit – I don’t hate it. There are a few features in particular that I’ve found quite useful or unique:
Circles Unlimited friend-sorting possibilities! I created multiple friend groups in Facebook, and when I add new friends, they’re automatically sorted into those groups. Many friends have asked me how I did that and requested personal assistance to help get them started. With Google+, that’s one of the first things you set up, so there’s no back-filling to do.
Real-Time Editing How many times have you hit “share” on your posts only to see later that you’ve misspelled something? Your choice is to either re-post and delete your previous version, or just live with it. In Google+, you can edit AFTER you’ve posted. A very convenient feature!
Unique Photo Sharing Google+ has an Instant Mobile Photo Upload feature that lets you manage photos so easily it’s hard to believe. Let’s just say it helped me avoid a potentially embarrassing situation when I wanted to get my sister’s opinion about a dress I was trying on in a department store — I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.
Check out Google+ for yourself. While I don’t think Facebook and Twitter have anything to worry about quite yet, I do think Google+ has the potential to be a serious alternative.
