Title: Google+ ?????? - a poll
Post by: PickelledEggs on July 06, 2013, 11:38:45 PM
I haven't really been too active on Google plus, but recently I found myself really getting in to it again.

Personally I prefer G+

In my opinion:
It is so much cleaner and uncluttered, not to mention way more organized.

It has better sharing options so I don't have to have people see things I don't want them to see. If I only want a few people to see a post, it is really simple to do that.

The chat is better in terms of quality and features (and videochat)

I could keep going, but I think you see my point of why I like it.

My ONLY gripe with it is that I don't think that enough people caught on to it / are using it. I think if more people used it it would be a much more useful site.

Which do you prefer? And why?

I do not network because I am not social.

Yes, but this is the best kind of socializing because I don't like being, you know, touched.

I prefer facebook, mainly because of its reach.

I despise both: Google+ because Google absolutely went out of their way to abuse their effective monopoly power to cram it down the throats of YouTube users; and Facebook because you could drive an ocean liner through their security holes, and fit how much they care about user privacy into Barbie's navel -- and so far as I know, she doesn't have one.

All the new kingpins are like dolls, shiny on the outside, hollow on the inside.

I use the lesser sites.  They work well enough for me, and collect less information.

So you admit they spy on you?  Conspiracy much?

No, of course.  But I do avoid the sites that collect the most and protect it least.

Likewise.  I post very sporadically on Wordpress (https://trdsf.wordpress.com/) and Ello (https://ello.co/trdsf), but I generally prefer dedicated fora like these.
