            So what does the panel think of this?

            El Reg: Google's Facebook: It rocks, but who cares?

            Is the man talking nonsense or not?

              Perhaps not a question of dropping Facebook for Google+ but having both? I'm finding social media more useful now not having bothered much with it before and as I mentioned in a previous post I get more work from Facebook than LinkedIn. Won't do any harm to have a presence on both for me anyway.

                I've just been posted a Google+ Cheat Sheet (such as it is).

                  Facebook has been great for the car business. For the IT contracting malarkey, LinkedIn works for me.

                    Been on it for a couple of days and do really like it so far. Don't like the fact the profiles are either completely open or completely closed though, if the Google Exec's are hiding themselves as reported by El Reg then why should anyone else stay public? I think they need to allow finer levels of privacy rather than the all or none they currently have.

                    I really like it, can keep Facebook for the people I went to School with and older relatives who are unlikely to want to be added to another social network. But to have friends, clients, staff, family all put into circles so easily is really good. I don't post much on FB due to my mates not wanting to hear about my geek enjoyments and my colleagues not wanting to see pics of my kids etc.

                    Really like it and worth looking into IMO.
