Most of my friends don't show up in my TED talks, in my Netflix Instant Watch, in my Amazon Instant Watch, in my TiVo programs, in my Hulu+, in my Reddit, in my HackerNews, in my CNN, in the sports I watch, in the New York Times.
If I could magically get my friends to show up in those places, I would.
Translation: LinkedIn is not Facebook is not Google+ is not any-other-media.
LinkedIn, I use for people I know professionally.
Facebook, I use for people I know... but probably not the ones I currently know professionally.
Google+, I use very much like I used to use Google Reader and Blogger. I subscribe to interesting people, Communities, and Pages. The experience is MUCH nicer than following the same things on Facebook, in my opinion.
I do actually think Reddit has a slight edge in presentation for subreddits, compared to Google+ Communities. But on the plus side (ha), Google+ communities tend to not have as many trolls in them, perhaps because they're not anonymous. Perhaps because the trolls just haven't arrived yet.
I happen to also use Google+ as a massive backup of all of my photos.
- 001sky 13y agoso is market segmentation a bug or a feature? its not clear, from the sound of it. right now seprate ecosystems support diversity (UI) and diversification (PI) and functional efficiency (sandboxing, signal/noize).
- krisgenre 13y agoFor everything that I share with my family ( photos, videos ), I use G+. When I don't care who sees my post, I usually use Facebook or twitter. One think I love the most is syncing my contacts and photos/videos with G+ on my Android phone.
