+SeekerOfTheWay Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 So it's bye bye facebook time? I hated Facebook! I deleted my account back in March 2011. I signed up for it because my friends insisted. Lol. Google plus is much better in that you can filter which content to view. By the way, I have no idea how to add you guys! Quote Link to comment

However, I found a few uses for it such as keeping up with family and friends that aren't local, which is everyone I know. And also, peeking in on others with similar interests that I can't find locally. I don't know any vegans in real life but I found a ton on g+ . But, I'm sure g+ will become too noisy for me too and I'll end up deleting! Quote Link to comment

Sadly, it looks like Google+ is turning into exactly the same thing. Still, whatever floats your boat.... Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well I don't doo Faceslap, or booboo, or twatter, or any of the other social networking things ('cos I'm not very social ), but having read about Google+ it seems to be a bit different in that you can put your 'friends' into different circles, this means you can have a work circle, and a geocacing circle, thereby ensuring that when you take a sickie to go caching you can still tell you caching mates about it without your boss finding out that you've pulled a fast one. I'd be interested to hear if anyone thinks it's better/worse than the others, although I'll probably never use it. Quote Link to comment

Ocean67 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Quite a few new people on my geocaching circle which is great. Thanks for the positive replies, and its great sharing in others caching experiences. I have not had much time recently for caching . But hopefully in the next few weeks I will catch up.

+Moote Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The real reason behind Google plus is to target advertise, so wait till you just start getting GPS adds on many other pages you visit. Quote Link to comment

At least they will be ads I might have some interest in, and facebook is just the same Not that I see ads as I use ad-block on my browsers Quote Link to comment

At least they will be ads I might have some interest in, and facebook is just the same Not that I see ads as I use ad-block on my browsers It is easier to turn Facebook ads off as they are 3rd party, Google+ is designed to run around the Google ad servers, so turning off (blocking) Google ads might break the sites functionality. A great example of this is when you block adds in Google Android Apps, the Apps often do not function correctly, believe me they have designed this site the same in m ind, it's their bread and butter.
