Confession: I don’t get G+

I’m not completely embarrassed to admit this, even though I know I just lost some major points! :(

I really haven’t given it a fair shot, despite being mesmerized with their commercials every time they come on … and my love of all things Google else-wise.

Just goes to show how much my life has changed over the years. Two years ago I would have been all over it. Have I evolved away from the ‘New Media” socialite that I once was? Lost my passion for digital communities? Is there nothing about that I don’t already get from my Twitter-Facebook usage? Maybe it’s really not all it’s hyped to be!?

Just another Soc/Net … to me.

I want to love it. I really do, but how?

    I don’t love G+. 
    For me, if you’re going to be a social network LIKE Facebook, I need you to offer me a whole bunch of cool stuff that Facebook DOESN’T do. Now, G + does have some interesting possibilities, and I’m using it mostly to connect with other librarians. 
    However, I’m having trouble with the fact that Google seems to always want to connect every aspect of my life – aspects I want to keep separate. The first thing I did was delete some G+ contacts, only to have the same contacts deleted in my email. UGH! 
    I guess I’m waiting to see if it “catches on”. Until then, I’m not in love.
