So do do you use Google Plus? I don't. I loved the interface, the concept and even how it made facebook change their magic formula just because they didn't know how Google+ would change the social web.
I have a Google+ account, and I have used it. I even played with the idea to move from facebook over to G+ . The circles made it a very good combination of twitter and facebook. So from a technology perspective is it a more advanced and intriguing platform. So why have I stopped using it? It is very easy. It is convenience. My google-apps account (connected to rygh.no) doesn't support Google+. You have to use a "normal" Google-account. I don't want to profiles. I just want to be "me" online. And currently that is one email-account; having to use two is just not worth it. And when all your "friends" and "followers" use facebook and twitter - why use one more tool? More and more cross-posting between the social platforms. You'll end up reading the same updates several times.
So what would be the Rygh+?
Google should fix the account issue, they said in March "comming soon" - and guess what: We are still waiting! If I could decide to use Google+ on my domain - I would prefer to connect to all the other services, facebook, twitter, linkedin, secondbrain... And get the updates ONCE, post my updates to one or some of the other network... I could even see myself paying for it. No adds. One online solution that worked cross platform. It sounds strange? Would never happen? What about email? That works perfectly cross platform. You can choose if you want hotmail, gmail, yahoo, your isp, your work-mail or your private hosted mail. One common protocol. That is web 3.0.
