Google+ Isn't Facebook... It's BETTER.

Anyone that came over to Google+ from Facebook has most likely experienced the difference & reacted in one of two ways: They either freaked when they couldn't figure it out in under 2 min or they recognized the awesome tool that was now at their disposal.
Google+ is a hybrid of twitter & facebook, guys. Will it replace either of those services?? Who cares. Fact is, some ppl dig twitter & hate facebook. Others; it's vice-versa. For still, others, they dig both & have discovered how to implement both to compliment each other. I fall into the latter category.
Below is a commentary that explains a key difference in Google+ compared to the other two services. They get it: Google+ offers more ways to connect & share.

Complete Guide to Using Google+

If you're one of the early adopters of Google+ then this is right up your alley.
If you're not on Google+ yet, but are curious about it- this may give you a better idea what it's about & how it can be used.

I'm on Google+ ( follow me here ) & I really like it.  I can really see the potential in it.  It's going to really take off & expand once aggregate services like Tweetdeck get on board, allowing you to post directly to G+ & when Google opens it up to the public.
Right now, in order to post onto it from my phone, I must tap the app/widget & post onto it separately before or after I post on Tweetdeck to all my other social network accounts.  However, since I've been using Google+, I don't really spend much time at all on fb anymore.  I've noticed my visits to fb have decreased, as has the amount of time each visit.

How to Download Your Info From Facebook

Since Facebook's trying to block every attempt at exporting your own data uploaded onto the site, some folks are using the Download Your Information feature in order to export to other social networking sites (clears throat) "Google+... ahem...".
This is a fairly simple process but requires that you navigate facebook's myriad of settings menues (yawn) to get there.  Below is a tutorial on how to do this.  Enjoy;)

Will You Switch To Google+ ?

Hey guys, so now Google has (sorta) unveiled Google+, their all new social networking site (beast) that may very well be the most competition Facebook has seen in at least 2 years.  My question is do you plan on making the leap over?

It's something of an understatement to say that Google doesn't have what it takes to (eventually) overtake rival Facebook, being as how they've built up a very healthy & productive portfolio of services over the last 10+ years & now seem poised & determined to pull all of these "weapons" together to concoct a super-social networking site.  Only time will tell.  But, till the site actually opens for business (it's still in invitation-only beta stage) to all potential users, let's take a look at one other shell in the barrel that no serious social networking site considering going head-to-head with the Great Facebook should forget: the mobile app.

Can you guess which mobile platform will receive the app first?? Yup... ANDROID:)

Surely you didn't think the iPhone was gonna win yet another app rolled out for it first, did you?  Yes, Android has this app exclusively but I suspect that Google will eventually roll out more apps for the "other" guys very shortly.  They will if they wanna compete, that is.
