Hey Jen! Thanks for saying hey! So I'm finally on Google+ now that they'ved turned on profiles for Google Apps (probably should update this blog post with that tidbit). Generally I like the platform and the interface, but it's kind of quiet. Seems like most of the folks that are active are either technorati or Google employees. I'm trying to post more, but it's not going to be really engaging until more folks get involved, and even then, it's yet another channel to check. As for where G+ is heading, I've been reading some interesting stuff about how Google+ may start to skew search results. And it seems like the user base has recently been growing at quite a clip, so things may pick up, especially with the strong position of Android. In the end, though, I don't see Google+ as a closed social network like Facebook or Tumblr, but more as a social layer that is being built into Google services. Which has a ton of potential considering how many people use those services. I also have a suspicion that we've only seen the tip of the social iceberg that Google has planned. Should be interesting! I tell you, though, Tumblr is the social network I just don't understand. It's like the wild west or something. Or a mashup of Myspace, Facebook and Twitter. Crazy.

Hey LSG! I’m wondering where you are at with Google+ 6 months later. I fiddled around with it briefly, but wen I failed to perform basic functions intuitively and no one I new wanted to take on another social platform, it was relegated to my app graveyard.
Are you seeing something different in the world of politics? Has it taken off for some and been left behind for others?
PS – you were right, I should’ve voted.
