It could have been good, but they're taking too long to make it work, I think.

Correct it was taking too long, plus it probably would have been easier to start from scratch rather than bolt additions on to Buzz as it probably would have been what I would deem as "Hacky"

Thing is it did start out as a Social Network but they're not just thinking of it in that sense, I believe it will become a collaborative platform at some point with all the good things that Google do well.

Like Buzz did?

Oh, wait.

They've had a few of those projects fail - anyone remember Google Buzz? Google+ has had plenty of time to gain some ground, but hasn't managed yet.

I used it briefly at the start. Recently deleted my account. Boring.

Google do a lot of things well, but social networking isn't one of them.

I tend to just make an appoitment and go to the surgery

appointment

Lol I meant as I'm sure you know Google Documents and Google Drive

There's a lot of development going into it at present and it seems to be getting better and better, Hangouts is a decent feature and I tend to use it a lot with docs etc

Re: Google+

I'm not giving up on it just yet.

A few more good contacts and it will be a contender. G is discretely pushing webmasters into it via author rank. Softly softly, catchey monkey...

I used it a lot until SimonMac added me....

[Cliphead]

yes, use it quite a lot

quite like the hangouts feature

Haven't tried out any hangouts yet. Every day complete strangers keep adding me but I think I have that under control now.

Anybody actually using it?

I've just cleared out the 1400 or so people who've added me that I don't know and now just down to the dozen or so that I do know (mostly from here actually).

Should I persevere, anybody finding it useful?
