Exclamation Google+ vs Facebook! (Andrew T. says ditch the FB) - 07-19-2011, 07:33 AM


Google recently announced Google+, its a new social network platform that wants to make sharing on the internet more like sharing in real life. Google has been trying to find a concrete response to Facebook’s enormous success, and I think they found it with Google+.



We asked CMD's Marketing Director Andrew T. which one he considers to be the best social media platform?

"I've never used and always refused Facebook's platform for my personal online visibility. I guess you could say I'm Google+'ed hooked, for now. I find its no nonsense user friendly Circle and privacy protected areas, non intrusive advertising including its multiple video conferencing features that Facebook doesn't offer, extremely beneficial."

We would like to hear from you. Would you leave Facebook for Google+?

I'd check it out - but they only accepted a limited # of people. And they aren't sending out "invites". That was quite disappointing.

Can't ditch FB when ya can't join G+ :(

I went to it and I just got this message literally:
Google+ is in limited Field Trial
Right now, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us your email address and we'll make sure you're the first to know when we're ready to invite more people.

Once I delete my FB account, thats it for social networks for me. It's been real, it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun.

Hiya Jade! Email it to: happymidgets@yahoo.com
I am up for checking it out!

LOL, Garret - I can relate but I like knowing what's going on with family or whatever. Sometimes I don't have time to sit and have a 45 minute conversation but I can catch up within 5 mins. And trust me, that is enough with some of my family.
Backwoods - Just sayin' haha!
