I joined Google+ recently, and after a few private posts to suss it out, I’ve been posting everything publicly. The service hasn’t exactly taken off yet – a lot of people I initially followed have dormant accounts – but I see plenty of potential there, and some people are making excellent and busy use of it.
So far I’ve been using Google+ to share (and find) links, commentary, bits from books, poetry, photos and miscellany. Some of this overlaps with my Twitter account, but Google+ enables longer quotes and thoughts. It’s also another way to chat to people online. (Just as well I’m not on Facebook.)
I don’t expect it to affect my blogging time, which is constrained anyway by the demands of freelancing, among other commitments. But if I go a while without blogging, you’ll have one more place to find me. For convenience, there’s a new link in the “Elsewhere” box at the top right of this blog.
Feel free to visit, follow, offer tips, point and laugh, or disregard.
I like that I can chat with circles–so I don’t bore my techie friends about science, or vice versa. I’m a G+ fan. I’ll go find you there.
Thanks, Jacqui. It does seem useful for segregating areas of interest. I’ll have to spend more time there to figure out the best way to create and organise my circles.
