Anyone using it?
I just started up a profile for $hits and giggles.
FWIW, I'm on crackbook too.

why?
seriously . . . why would I do that [especially since I'm not on facebook]?
seems like just another thing to take up my time . . . and a fancier [or an attempt at a fancier] fb.
But I'm ready to be convinced and join the twentieth twenty-first century!
oh . . . and bring back rotary dial telephones with a real ring!

I was skeptical of FB when I signed up in 2007. It's all but replaced my msn and hotmail. I use the IM feature in FB as much as I do for MSN. FB recently changed their whole messaging system to combine IM and emails. I don't like it.
I freely admit there are people that use it, twitter, and the like because they're attention whores. I do my best to use it as a tool to actually communicate, and not pollute the world with foolish status updates about how close I am to being ready for this or that.
WRT Google+, there are already things I like about it.
1. It's far easier to group your friends/associates/etc. You can have habsrus buddies, motorcycle buddies, family, work, etc. Anything you post can immediately be filtered to the 'circle' of friends of your choosing. So, if you're posting up something about the Habs, you can keep it to your habs circle and not pollute the news feeds of your other friends. The applications of this feature are pretty endless.
2. I like to share music videos of songs I'm listening to while on the computer. The method for doing this is pretty cool. Directly from google+, I can open up a youtube interface. From there I can search, or paste a URL I may have already copied.
Google also has available office suite programs - word proc, etc. Integration with programs like these, and Android, will be interesting. FWIW, I see them potentially taking Android towards a full on OS at some point.
