I&#8217;ve joined Google+
<p>Google+ is interesting.  I was persuaded to try it by three things: (1) Circles, so I can structure my contacts rather than having an undifferentiated blob of &#8220;friends&#8221;, (2) I&#8217;m fairly confident that Google&#8217;s Data Liberation Front won&#8217;t let it turn into a jail, and (3) my best geeky friends seem to be joining en masse.</p>
<p>I begin to think Facebook might actually have a fight on its hands.  I&#8217;m getting the feel of tremendous demand for something that&#8217;s full-boat social networking but <em>not</em> Facebook finding an outlet, because it&#8217;s not <em>just</em> my geeky friends that are signing up. </p>
<p>This will bear watching.</p>
