Not only that, but you can make a post that has only one recipient. Private messaging is a special case of "I can send this post to specific recipients." Facebook's private messages exist as a separate thing in part because of how hard it is to control the audience of your Facebook posts.
- magicalist 15y agoyeah, I actually prefer this for the use case of "I have a stupid link to share with one or two people, then we might have a few back and forth comments, each only a sentence or two long." I think it's a nicer forum for that than even threaded email clients, but at least one friend thought it was weird to be doing it in g+ rather than email, so we'll see.
- kelnos 15y agoExcept there's no good 'record' of private posts you've received. If someone sent me something a week ago that I want to refer to, it's a bitch to find it again. This is why I'd rather see some gmail integration, essentially Facebook messages backed by your real gmail account, but with a simpler, prettier frontend integrated into G+ when you just want to fire off quick messages without context switching out of G+.
- rwolf 15y agoSounds like a search problem. A thousand +1s for adding search.
