  • 7.6% - Eh. It’s not so great. I’ll stick with Facebook and Twitter. 64
  • 2.5% - Hate it. I’ll just use what I’ve always used for social networking. 21
  • 43.4% - I hate any and all social networking and wish I’d never heard the term. 363

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Other: I think for being in a Beta stage it is pretty good but I'd definitely like to experience it with more people than the few that I have right now before I decide on canceling other accounts or anything like that

I feel like a lot of these votes are biased because they don't have access to Google+ because of a lack of invites.

I was lucky enough to get in on one of the first few days. It's cleaner and simpler than Facebook. It doesn't have events yet, but I really like the notifications, GTalk, and Android G+ integration.

This is the first time that I've heard about Google+. I'd like to try it though!

Love all things Google...

Haven't been invited, don't care.
Too much value is being placed in these social networks. Come on, whats wrong with talking to people face to face? The world is being taught that everyone is entertaining. Sorry, but most of us are boring. Keep twitter, facebook, myspace and goggle+. I don't need to know what every one of my friends is doing at all times. Too much information...

I've helped out Google in the past with beta testing for Voice/Wave...... but didn't get one this time. Still waiting on a couple of friends to weazle one for me.

They are all the devils toolbook. Last thing I want is a crazy ex, or kid I beat up in school to find me! I tell my wife all the time big bro is watching her or some random dude that wants to rob us while she "checks in" to say we are out of town.

I'm with olperfesser on this one! Couldn't care less about these sites, I talk to my friends face to face, on the phone and sometimes via e-mail. Don't like the fact that stores and other companies are using these sites for advertising and contests. Leaves lots of people out who don't want their lives and info online.

This is the first I heard of Google+. What is the advantage & why can't you join unless invited?

I'm too busy living life than to waste time with social network. I usually go onto Facebook maybe once a month.

They cried "wolf" with Google Wave which turned out to be less than a ripple. I've been invited but will not use it because 1) they're late to the game and 2) I believe it'll bust and I'll have another unused account out there.

Check your spam and junk mail folders. When the invites first started coming out gmail flagged them as spam

I think it's too early for this poll. Especially since it's still "invite only" and they've run out of invites...

It's the only social network, not counting Twitter, that I could see myself maybe using. Not in the beta yet, though.

I've heard much, but I don't really use social media sites; I feel like my privacy is already invaded into by so many already; besides my friends know how to get a hold of me.
Google is getting into every aspect of our lives, and although I enjoy my Android phone, Google's almost-omnipresence makes me nervous.
So, I guess the bottom line is, I would probably like it if I did Social media.

Did anyone said:

Right now, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us your email address and we'll make sure you're the first to know when we're ready to invite more people.

?

Yeah meaby, I did

The social networking/media craze is to not know what your friends are doing, but what the world is doing! There is no better way to spread news and discuss specific topics (using Twitter).

Sorry, but you can't follow me. I am just not important enough to have my every thought read by a horde of followers.
And as for publishing my life on a 'wall', I think I'll pass. I like my privacy.
