The GRcade Google+ Discussion Thread: 'Google+ is pathetic'

PostRe: Google Plus, then... by **Eighthours** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 2:53 pm

I really like the Circles concept, it's a much, much better way of filtering contacts and updates than anything Facebook has to offer.

Having said that, it seems crazy that all your Circles have to be private. You should be able to create a publicly viewable Circle for something like GRcade. At the moment, I could create a GRcade Circle and add 100 people to it, but none of them would know they were in my GRcade Circle!

Starting using it today. Very confusing atm because not many people I know are on it yet. I'm sure it'll make a bit more sense soon

you need to got circles, make a new circle and then add everyone its a bit of a bitch to be fair...

i think we need to new item on our GRcade profiles to put a link into our google+ accounts

Well this is mine if anyone wants to add me to a GRcade circle thing.

I have no idea how that will work. To be honest, I've not watched any of the intro videos so I have no idea what I'm doing.

you need to take off the /p/pub on the end then it will work

then to add to one of your circles there are links on the top right of the profile

Sounds like you want a Facebook group.

Circles is exactly the way I wanted it.

oh and mine for people who weren't added by me and so dont know is

PostRe: Google Plus, then... by **Catheter Rising** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 4:16 pm

Seemed to work for me ok. To actually get anything out of it, you'll need to add the person to a circle (so create a new GRcade one for example.

This is mine anyway.

just to let everyone know, people who have invites are unable to join as it is saying they over capacity. So hopefully it will be sorted soon

I don't know if the invites expire as it doesn't say (I'm assuming not) so just keep trying

Wave was an online collaboration tool for google docs simultaneous editing; Buzz was an attempt to add status updates to Gmail.

With this positioned next to 'search' on the black toolbar and most of us using google daily it could work as an added convenience.

Here's my profile. I've added everyone who's posted theirs.

Speaking as someone who barely touches Facebook, I love it. I've got a bunch of people on their from rllmuk and Twitter, and it's got the seeds of being something awesome. Hangouts in particular will be so much better than Twitter for stuff like E3.
