More Time Spent on MySpace Than Google+, Says Report

[Solandri]

[citation][nom]dthx[/nom]All in all, I find Google+ quite interesting with the circles system. The trouble is that, once you sign up for Google+, your Picasa (and other Google services) don't look and behave the same anymore. Pictures sharing can then only been done with Google+ contacts (or with everyone on the internet... no way !) and for the contacts, not possible anymore to download a whole album to their Picasa, and so on. I killed the G+ thing to restore all the lost functionalities.[/citation]
You can still access your album via picasaweb.google.com with all the old options. I agree though that Google has been dropping the ball not updating G+ to perfectly mirror Picasaweb's functionality. I used Picasaweb as my "preview" of G+ photo sharing before I signed up. I was disappointed to find that most of the features on Picasaweb are not on G+. Then I found that I could still use those features via Picasaweb (e.g. change the sort order of an album) and the changes would be reflected in G+. It's still very clumsy though when they could just implement the same features in G+.

Well I only use Google+ (no Facebook) and I'd say that maybe 1 out of every 20 people I know has an account compared to about 18 out of 20 on Facebook. And of those people on Google+, only about 1/4 actually uses it. Its really sad because it is so much better than Facebook.

I find that so far, Google + is way more comparable to Twitter then FB.

The prob is the initial require to invite only pretty much killed the "race to G+" madness.

Everyone was wanted to join G+, but it is limited to invite only. wtf., then u miss all the function the FB has. I blame only Google alone for launching G+ without full functionality of FB.
