Now having used Google+, I can’t help but wonder what it’s for?

Of the other social networks I have used, here is where I see them fitting:

GeoCities: Was epic, and the best place to share animated GIFs.

MySpace: It was the place to go for crappily designed user profile pages and scantly clad pictures of women that you don’t know. To check out bands so that you could later tell you buddies: “I was listening to them way before they were main stream. It was the GeoCities of the early 2000′s.

Facebook: It is the place that you go to see what your ex is up to, if what’s her name from high school is still hot, and well who took a bikini vacation recently? It is also the place that will yield preposterous valuations, and shoot you an average of 30 clicks just for posting a link. Facebook made social networking an acceptable activity for everyone. Also: FarmVille.

Twitter: It’s the place where no one can deny your “friend request” and ADD heaven. Where millions can declare their allegiance to people they hardly know, and where a relative nobody 1 can get rather instant tech support.

Tumblr: This is basically the modern day GeoCities with better templates and (sometimes) faster loading sites. Also, it’s taking blogging to be a mainstream accepted activity.

Google+: …?

I am not saying Google plus is bad, but it’s place in the current market is confusing and unclear. The whole circles thing is neat, but what about when I just want to post something to everyone? Every ‘post’ that I see is too long for Twitter, but too short and non-sensical for a blog post.

Everything is not tl;dr — rather it is: Seems Boring; Don’t Care.

BTW, if anybody interested in Google+ but not already there, message me your email address and I will grant you an invite.

I do have to say i was really excited about Google +, but haven’t been using it… at all. I’m still curious to see where it’s going!
