Community For Google+ Users

[InkHogNeato]

Hey all,

I am an avid Google+ user and recommend it to pretty much everyone. I started a new community called Motorcycle Enthusiasts, so if you are a G+ user, please check it out.

Yea, but do the other three Google+ users ride FJR's?

Thank you, Google offers many great products, I guess that is why they are the most visited website online at 1 billion per month

Zero cost. Think of G+ as Facebook minus much of the cruft (pet photos and the like) and better conversations.

Just submitted a join request. Never hurts to have a few friends in LE.

Coming up your way camping off the DR next Sept at Crater Lake.

If that's the case...then it might be something worthwhile.

Google+ is not only free and awesome, but the numbers are growing. Facebook is for children (actual and metaphoric) while G+ is for people who like to participate in intelligent conversation without getting blasted by memes and "inspirational" garbage.

It's a wonderful thing. Look me up, if you'd like, at https://gplus.to/kevinmkirk, or at least I hope to see you in the Motorcycle Enthusiast Community. We're already 6 members strong, and I do believe they're all Feejer owners so far.

I was jesting but I'm a member and there's never much activity that I've seen.

Also, if you recall, MySpace was for the younger mindset when Facebook came out. Facebook was actually for college level folks in the beginning and rapidly attracted an older demographic. Eventually all left MySpace and came over to Facebook thus lowering the intellectual quotient of the place.

I'm not certain what the future of G+ is, but it hasn't caught on like Facebook did. Bear in mind, I'm quite the fan of Google's products as I'm a die hard android user, and have been a google apps member for quite some time (Thankful I won't have to be paying for that with their new structure) and while I'd like to see G+ grow, it hasn't shown that it has the traction in the market.

Of course, the best way for it to gain traction is through threads like this inviting others to join and by folks like InkHogNeato adding quality content to the community.

It all comes down to who's in your circles. I've never seen it slow down since it was in beta, always busy. Shared circles (in topics that interest you of course) are an excellent way to pick up contacts. Searching G+ and getting involved is another way to score some good contacts. I find it much easy to engage discussions in G+; the discussion threading is so much better than FB.

Speaking of circles, they make it MUCH easier to strain out any noise.

How come the OP link doesn't seem to be working?
