So apparently I have google+ and there’s no limit to the number of invites I can send out.

Who wants some?

You have no limits? My friends who have it are limited. Why are you so special? Hmmmm? I’m just gonna wait for my friends to invite me when the get invites available again. Not really looking to get to uber-connected to the world just yet.

I have google+ now. Not entirely sure what its for other then I already have facebook. The whole dragging friends and other contacts into circles was fun for about a minute and then I got bored. I posted a comment, but currently only 9 people may have read what I wrote, which is fine because it was exactly the same comment I had on my facebook where the same 9 people plus another ~140 friends may have read what I wrote. I’m not one of those friends collectors and try not to have to many people added on my facebook. Google+ I plan to be even more strict with.

Make circles so you can delete them. That amused me for 10 minutes! Fun fun fun.

With Google+, I’m following some blogger types like Tim Bray. So they post a lot, but I’m not sure it’s too useful, as I could just read their blogs. If there is a Google+ equivalent of a Facebook page, like say for restaurants, I haven’t seen that in use yet.

I’m not sure how useful the circle limitation is in practice. It sounds good, but I start to get angst trying to figure out which circles to include with a post, so I end up just doing Public. This is a small example of the paradox of choice. If you have say 10 circles, making exclude/include decisions repeatedly is tiring.
