Someone Explain Google+ To Me...
 

I have just been playing around and it makes no sense at all...

'Hangouts' sounded cool so I tried to join a few and nothing - I thought it was all group chat and video etc (not porn), sharing links etc - I found myself in a private with some freak who told me he was Tim Henman - I am pretty sure it wasn't him.....

Am I missing something or is it just freaks?..

i use Hangouts on my phone for video chat as it works better than skype

Hangouts is very good for chat, and also for web broadcast/podcast type things.

i second that. hangouts are great for one on one or group chats...always have ongoing with family since we are all over the world makes it easy for everyone to stay in the loop.

This should help. http://www.google.com/hangouts/

The internet often has answers to questions you struggle with.

We have been using hangouts for our business chat in our email portal which works great! Not a big fan of the social network part though. It's dead. Full of a million realtors and insurance agents just trying to add their names to another pool of potential leads.

G+ is a cluster fuck

1. You sign up.

2. You get dozens of people adding you to their circles even though you have no clue who they are.

3. You get tired of these random people and go back to FB or Twitter.

Easy Easy...:winkwink:

Its so not user friendly - I always ask 'could my mum use it?' - There is no way she would have a clue what is going on - It took me a while to work out what the fuck was going on...

A social site shouldn't have a learning curve like this.....
