Is anyone on MS using Google+? I just received a notification on my email about it's video conferencing features... i know a few people who have it, but I've never bothered signing up. Anyway looking for reviews if a member here likes it or not.

Re: Google +

was on it for a little while, didn't use it too often though as its shit...finally closed my account when that dick mikas ( prog grooves ) started spamming me with his relentless spam shit, blocked him on myspace ( shows u how long he's been persistent ) and also blocked him on facebook


i swear on my life...that guy is the most annoying cunt i,ve ever seen online ... its nothing but relentless spam, i dont know how many times i,ve asked him to stop

Re: Google +

Does it even seem like Google spent a lot of time and resources on it?

I don't use it much but the UI is actually really nice, especially via the G+ app on the iPad. Hangouts are pretty awesome you can group video conf with a bunch of friends, it is pretty neat.

As for the spam maybe you've added that person to one of your circles and need to remove them? Or if its private messages or something just block them.

this is the thing... i never added him to any circles or anything and i,ve also tried blocking him many times but his spam still gets through.....its a major flaw in g+'s system, direct to my email inbox they go to, only option was to block all incoming emails from g+ altogether

Re: Google +

I use it for my websites.

Actually, I just make fake profiles and link them to my sites with rel=me/rel=author so I can get my fake pictures to show up in the search results as the author and increase the click-through rate.

G+ is a joke.
