In the spirit of TeresaMC's twitter list, I'll be happy to start a Google Plus list for all G+ers on Authonomy. Google Plus is like the best of Facebook and Twitter combined with the power of Google search bonuses in the long run. It's free and easy to join if you haven't yet - https://plus.google.com/. Just leave your Google Plus ID and it will be added to a list. This way we can all be added to each others' writer circles

Google Plus - http://gplus.to/JasonMatthews (note that yours may look more like this - https://plus.google.com/u/0/117850331447734054313/posts)

Crickets.

Google Plus is a great social media site for networking with others in my opinion. Just in case anyone's interested.

I joined google+. I logged in a few weeks ago and it just sat there and looked at me and i didn't know what to do with it. So I logged out and went back to FB....

I have a google+, but only two people I know appear to be using it, and I never log on.

It's tricky for them, trying to make an empty site look as interesting as facebook, where all your friends already are.

The bonus for me was I didn't (and still don't) have a Facebook account. So Google+ is great!

So I'm tidying up a dispute between two young adult males, bit of gang stuff, assault, stabbing threats, fairly standard 18 year old fare and I say OK when you leave here there's all these people who still think you are at war so how you manage them is pretty important in making this truce last. You got to tell them not to stir the pot because it's going to get you back in trouble with the law. Yeah they both say, we see how all these people have been manipulating things and using us and how we both made assumptions which were wrong and we just want to move on with our lives and leave each other alone. So I say, when you leave here and get home will you be getting straight onto Facebook? I get 2 'Yeah so what' nods. So you know about the concept of the Chinese whisper I say, how the message gets changed the longer it's out there and the more people who hear it and pass it on? They nod. So perhaps it might be better to not go straight onto Facebook and talk about this until you've had a face to face with some of the more important players, so stuff doesn't get misunderstood and incorrect assumptions made. They both look at me like I'm insane with eves like dinner plates and I hear Gary Coleman in my head. "What you talking about Willis".
Facebook - The artificial heart.
