OT: Google+

[PhillyPhaithful48]

I just tried it out today. Can't tell if I like it or not. Anyone else Love/Hate it?

I've had it for a bit but I keep forgetting to check it during the day. I think I like it. Anyone want an invite?

I don't hate it. I do think its convenient that you can just click on it from Gmail. That is something that can make it stick.

I like the group video chat.

i'm willing to bet that the google+ android app will beat the shit outta the facebook android app

I haven't really tried much aside from building my "circles"

Meh...still seems to need some work.

If you consider the maturity level of the Google+ app vs. the Facebook app though, it's light years ahead.

Biggest omission in Google+ android is that you can't do the video chat through it.

Do any Android phones have the front facing camera? I thought only iPhone 4's had those right now or at least until recently.

Not sure how many have them, but there are several.

I've had my phone since December and it has a front facing camera.

the new galaxy tab has a front facing camera....last time i checked you needed a wifi connection for video chat...makes it kinda pointless on a phone imho


mrs wyo has an app that'll let her talk to the phone and it'll generate a text message, and i have an app that'll read my messages aloud to me....circular technology FTW

Skype allows video chat on a few phones (might be only Verizon ones) and you can use Yahoo Messenger video chat on the regular cell connection, as long as the data speed is good enough.

The thing I like the most about it is none of my inlaws are on it, so I am free to say whatever I want.

Yup, and no co-workers or old roommate or ex's.

An important word to be considered here. Yet.

All but one had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century when my wife decided it was the most efficient way to communicate. No way they're gonna try one of them newfangled thingamajigs agin'.

Besides, with Circles, I can say anything to anyone. Except them.

<blah blah blah> *Post to everyone but 'the wife's family'*

BOOYAAAAH!

 

[li0lsh]

I just don't know anyone that uses it.

 

[maddogmark25]

I don't know too many people that use it, but I wouldn't mind an invite

I have no clue what you people are babbling about. Once I ask DS what you are talking about, I shall give you one kickass opinion!
