So I was finally forced to turn on google +.
I'm not to happy about being pushed into using it, I just want my email and hat it.
I like facebook better, its a bit more straight forward with its privacy settings. Except that facebook sells everything you ever upload and post anyways. lol

Anyone use google+ yet? How do you like its privacy settings?
I still have not figured out how to turn everything to friends only, its not very straight forward, for now I managed to hide my real name and my age. %)

Nope. I hate google's crap. The only thing I don't mind using is Google itself, and maybe Picasa. Everything else, Chrome, that above, desktop search, earth. All that crap can go to hell in my opinion.

Why do I hate it so much?

Cause it takes over every bloody thing when you install it, if you are naive and don't know to unclick all the extras. Like sending stats of what I do to google. Making everything default to google. I did not download a bloody Chromebook! lol

I use flash earth instead of google earth for example. Hell it has better resolution, but no street level view. Big deal.

I hate facebook anyway, why would I want another social media website..?

Just my opinion here though, so don't mind me. lol

Google+ will not be around much longer. Don't even get into it. It's crap. Worthless. Stick to FB.

Is this on an Android phone by chance? Google forces you to have a Google+ account in order to use a lot of their stuff these days.

Actually I was more annoyed when hotmail turned into live mail than I was live mail turning into outlook.com. But then I started back before hotmail when it was msn mail. LOL

I think I have had this MSN account for around 15 years now. Crazy.
