Google +

Another day, and another social network spring up for us all to join. This time it's from google (again). They have had a few attempts in the past, which have eventually been shut down. It's been up and running by invite only for a week or so now and it seems, so far at least, that this one could be their one. 

It's design has been well though out and the privacy has so far been really well handled. There are a few quirks, and things to get used to, but the google+ team are on the ball and changes and updates are being handled in a really up front and timely manor. These guys have really set out to make this work just right.

At the moment the vast majority of people are Programmers, developers and designers with the general creatives falling in 4th. It seems to be somewhere in the middle of being facebook & twitter, with the better bits of both, so hopefully it can drag people off both of them and on to it.

Hopefully I will find some time to do a more in depth article on the in's and out's of it, and some of the beautiful features that Google has given us to play with.

P.S. You may also notice I now have +1 buttons on the blog posts, so share away!
