How can it be a success when its still a beta and the only real draw is the hype and the newness? Until people quit facebook en masse to use Google+ in a live fully deployed environment, its not a success.
My FB page has evolved from a simple/clean/pretty quick interface to a junky page with useless bantering/links/quizzes/photos loading out of frame/a chat bar that eats up 1/4 of my browser...etc
I'm out and giving my "friends" list all invites, whether they asked for one or not.
Seems like a mass exodus from where I am standing. Even my non-tech friends are asking for invites, because a lot of their non-tech friends already got in. Usually when Google releases a new product, barely anyone I know has even heard about it. Looks like Google actually has some momentum behind this project.
Facebook copy google circles in 5..4...3...2...
I got an invite from the forum and really appreciate it, but did not realize that Google will delete your account if you try to register under an online alias or use an avatar rather than personal picture.
Google definitely isn't big on privacy, thats for sure.
Google drives around with cameras photographing and mapping the world.Yes, they are. Google+ is hugely privacy focused.
roflbeen on G+ for a few weeks and i must say i agree with the simplicity (which i hope stays). there are a few privacy tweaks i'd like more of than the limited privacy settings it has now but thats to be expected from beta. i hope more come. also, for those of you who are already in G+, check this out>

it allows your facebook wall to be a tab on the G+ page. i no longer need to check fb as i can check both (for now) via G+.
And there are risks to consolidating so many different services under one umbrella.
For example, since your comments on any orkut community are no longer anonymous and have your unique real name, an employer need only google search you to find out what you are saying in your free time. And if you say something that rubs someone the wrong way, you better hope your account isn't hacked.
That google account may be attached to your email with all your friends and contacts with unlimited search history since no one really deletes gmail anymore, your calendar to track where you are and when and with whom, your google checkout with credit card information and billing/shipping address, your photos of yourself and friends and family private or not, your documents, your youtube videos and access to all of your subscribers, your social networking circle, and more.
Heck, just inadvertently have remember password stored, and the girlfriend may learn a whooole lot about you and wreck havoc on your whole online life.
So too much consolidation and lack of anonymity isn't good IMO.

Absolutely everything on Google+ is default to share with the world.
When you put your name into Google+, it updates the profile of all google related older services, such as your previously anonymous posting on any orkut community.
Is that why my account gets getting hacked? I thought Password1! was hard to crack!Also, if you don't want your account "hacked", don't use a common password.
The consumer can fix that by not putting five hundred eggs in one basket. Google's goal is clearly to know everything and anything about you, and that is the reason they want your real name and address and shopping habits and friends and you name it, so that this information can be monetized and sold.Sure, but that isn't Google's fault or problem - they can't "fix" that unless they start making crappier products.
Someone hasn't used Google+ yet. Log back into your account. Go to your profile. Everything in there is set to view by the world by default.Uh, no it doesn't. In fact, it defaults to sharing with no one - you *must* make an initial selection, and from then on it defaults to whatever you did last. If your last post was public, it'll default to public. If your last post was to one person, it'll default to that person.

Hm, I just noticed that I've been on this forum longer than everyone in the thread, including MajorDomo...
Your real name and address doesn't help them target ads to you.
Riiiiight.
How would your real name and address help them? They want to know what your interests are, what you're searching, and what you talk about. location tells them nothing. Google isn't plastering my profile with lobster ads because I live in Maine.
