Google+

I have enabled google plus ...
I dont have it yet my self as in googles words:

Oops... you need a Google Profile to use this feature.
Google Profiles is not available for your organisation.

Its not available for the type of account i have yet ... still, nothing like a bit of future proofing!

Anyone got an account yet?

Not bothered at this point - I hear lots of hype, but have yet to hear anything to make me hit the go button

Yup, and it looks very good though it is obviously a work in progress as was Facebook for the first years—and in some ways still is. I have posted some of my images and see that Google+ does not reduce them from their full 1280 pixel size. Where compression artifacts can be quite visible on Facebook, I see none on Google+.

Yeah I got an account there too, will be loads better when more content is added, not bad though in its Beta stages

 

[Hamish Gill]

so what effect does clicking the google +1 button do then laurie?

 

[Laurie Parker]

It shares whatever you plus 1 with the rest of google plus users

 

[Hamish Gill]

Like "like" ... Or is there more to it?

 

[Laurie Parker]

Your +1's can help friends, contacts, and others on the web find the best stuff when they search. So very similar to "like" but it helps with searches for others
