  • That article is a load of crap. The jist of it is there is nothing in my stream, so it has failed. No, your friends have failed to sign up or start using it. Yet. Social networks have a life cycle:

    tumbleweed >>> early adopters >>> mainstreaming >>> critical mass >>> loose their edge >>> death >>> tumbleweed

    You can't write one off when it's at stage 1 or 2.

    I'm sure someone wrote an article on what a massive failure Android was before it was launched, now more people have Android phones than IOS phones. That article is incredibly naive.

    I'm also sure someone wrote a similar article about Facebook once, saying something like "It will never replace Myspace, all of my friends on there are all the time"...

  • I've just set up a Business page not sure on it yet: https://plus.google.com/u/0/111059625890293858312

    Is there a way of having a snappier URL for a work page? I was wondering this about our work one yesterday...

  • Yup.

  • Google Wave on the other hand..

    Bye Bye.

  • Is there a straightforward way that people here have used to move stored photographs from Facebook (and Flickr, if possible) and into Google+/Picassa?

    I'd prefer to use a technique that someone else has used, and can confirm works and does not bugger anything up.

  • Facebook -> Picasa/G+

    I used 'Move Your Photos'
    From the Chrome Web Store (free), it puts an icon on your toolbar. I seem to remember that you had to move a few albums at a time, as it claims that your Picasa memory is full (which it won't be). But it's really handy.

    Dunno about Flickr though.

  • Flickr to G+ anyone? I downloaded something called migrtr which didn't seem to work.
    Desperate to do this as flickr now really annoys me

    I had the originals still for everything I uploaded to Flickr.

    So I just deleted my Flickr, imported the images locally into Picasa... and then clicked 'web share' in Picasa which synced them into G+

  • Thing is I have edited many of my 4000+ images using flickr's picknick software and the originals on my mac are not the images I wish to display so i will need to move them directly

  • Intentional typo?

    My bad.

    What do you mean intentional typo?

    "in their droVes" would be the more commonly used phrase, although drones is rather good :)

    I assumed you were being witty, using drones instead of droves

    No wit. Just stupidity.

    All reposts. We've been there already, FFS!
    Speak English or die, dudes!

  • Flickr to G+ anyone?

    Fuck it, I'll leave 'em there. On G+ nobody appreciates good bokeh.

  • hmmm diaspora is a bit slow....

  • I can't get the website to load

  • anyone else on diaspora?

  • Yep, proving fairly pointless as I know nobody on there and it's slow.

  • how does one send private messages on g+????

  • erm....email them ???

  • just put the name in the message box

  • Or create a private circle with just that person in it and post something to that circle.
    Or enable chat and chat them.

  • .

  • I've sold the Android phone. Back to iPhone for me - its G+ app is shite.

  • And well done Facebook for ripping off the "circles" ideas from Google, thus making it obsolete again.
