It’s not that I dislike Google+, I actually think it’s somewhat refreshing and cool… but I just can’t get myself to really USE it.
Chalk it up to either not having enough time, or not having a critical mass of friends who use it to exclusion, but it’s just so difficult to remember to log in and check it, much less update it with any frequency.
In an effort to “fix” that I added functionality that will cross post my blog entries (like this one) over to Google+
I still doubt I’ll end up logging into Google+ any more frequently than I do now (at least for the near future), but at least my account there won’t languish quite as much as it currently is.
[Update: Apparently my understanding of the plugins I used was incorrect. I can post to Google+ and have it show up in my blog here, but not vice versa, as apparently Google hasn't released that portion of their API. This is lame. It also has killed my desire to continue down this front for now.]
For me, it’s a problem of being overwhelmed with social networking. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, my blog, MySpace (for those still living in the past), and now something new to check in on and update and devote head space to? It’s just too much, even when things are interlinked. It’s becoming quantity over quality, for sure.
