Google+ is the bee’s knees (so far)
I just got into Google+ and I’m loving it so far. For those of you that haven’t heard yet, it is Google’s new social network. Admittedly I haven’t done much as I’ve had it for about an hour, but to me it’s much easier and more intuitive than Facebook. On FB I’m constantly having to ask my wife how to do things (because it annoys me trying to hunt things down and she knows it better than I do). So far Google+ has been smooth sailing.
By far the coolest feature so far is the automatic mobile upload. I downloaded the app for my phone and OPTED IN to have the pictures that I take on my phone automatically uploaded to Google+ (to a private album only viewable to me) and snapped a picture. It was on the website and ready for sharing in under a minute. Bam! That simple. Here it is.
I’ll probably write more about Google+ as I learn more about it. For now let’s just say that if it keeps being awesome I won’t be hanging around Facebook nearly so much. Basically it just needs to NOT add in annoying games and it wins. 
I got a Google+ invite from a friend but have yet to even check it out. Honestly, I’m a little sick of the “next fancy social network.” I like most of Google’s stuff, but + doesn’t sound like anything special (to me, anyway). I don’t even want my Facebook!

I mainly want this because I’d rather have + than Facebook and the mobile app is more useful for what I want. I never really wanted to be into FB, but it became a requirement.
+ on the other hand is something I chose because I liked the way it looked. *shrug*
