plus – TruXter Tech

How Did Google Plus Fail ?
Google failed with Google Plus (G+) simply by making their social network too intrusive, too much like Facebook and too bland.

When I say intrusive, I mean, just adding the app on your phone, you are forced to show your location via GPS showing almost an exact nark on the map showing what section of your house, you are currently in. Who wants that? Maybe while you are meeting someone at the local burger doodle, but your bedroom? Toilet? who needs to know exact locations of my every post? Can’t we save this for a later feature?

G+ looks exactly like Facebook did last year. Minus the blue bar at the top of the screen.Friends on the left, message in the middle (much like Myspace) ads on the right. Much like a blog.

There is no color. There is no life in G+ It just looks like plain text on a plain page. I actually like I am at the back end side of wordpress. And I tell you, it’s not impressive.

For over a week now, I have seen three messages fly by that were not my own.
And … sad to say, when people fought the real names on Google plus, Google gave in. Mean while Facebook screams a big “SCREW YOU USERS”
So, maybe Google should abuse the less tech savvy, they seem to enjoy it.

Deep down we all see that Google plus is a more current social website and much nicer looking. But was released at the wrong time.

Maybe if they put a samsung logo on it.. Oh wait, that’s another one that abuses their users.

Google Plus is Open To Public

After 20 Email Invites to Google Plus, it still says i have 150 G+ invites available, so, that pretty well means it’s wide open. Right?
Anyone who has been wondering what Google Plus was about, can go now and log in. Or create an account if you do not already have some sort of Google account.
G+ Seems like Facebook to me but with a a Google skin and Google twist.
Already Google+ has games on it. so….. we can already anticipate the zillion and one game invites and notices and updates for the first year.

Google home page has this annoying arrow on it that shows you the Google plus is active. I hope it stops soon.

Google+ seems to be a lot better than Facebook, Considering Facebook can’t keep your friends timeline straight wit hthe way everyone needs it. Facebook is doing this popularity thing. This means any post on Facebook that would be in your timeline that has lots of people liking or posting to it, then it is at the top of the list. Which leads to a potential for a lot of good posts going by being totally unseen. But then again, Google+ kind of does that also. but at least Google+ isn’t Facebook. I was getting to where I was considering going back to Myspace. I wonder what all of the tv shows and channels are going to do now that they have to add Google+ to their list of websites to talk about so they sound hip. Like Newsfix, they will be jumping on that bandwagon once they see people on their facebook account talk good about Google+. Hopefully Google plus is a bit less snobby.

Again there is very little “Social” to the current networks so just stumbling into someone you can strike up a conversation, is pretty much like we have been seeing . Can we get a chat and a forum added to this???
Sorry but my Google+ buttons on my site still need a bit of development so the links come out raw on Google+ showing an adverts image instead of the site’s image, but that should fix in time.

On a rating I have to give Google+
8/10

minus two only because not many people there yest and development is kind of a mimic of what is already existing in other platforms. only less advert focused right now.
