Jack, maybe you remember that I left Facebook to get away from close extended family drama. Some of my cousins just can’t help themselves. I came to Google Plus to try to give this “social networking” a second try, only to run into an Ex-Voxer who was prone to petty guttersniping. I just have no patience for that, and so G+ got the boot. I ultimately decided that this form of Internet communication was NOT for me, ever.
I understand you have good and valid reasons to be connected to Facebook– if I was out and employed, more especially, running my own business, I’d have reasons to be connected in that way, too. For now, I use LinkedIn for that sort of professional presence, if only to maintain the contacts I do have.
At this point, I wouldn’t mind if G+ dies a slow death.
I tend to be all right on Facebook, not because my family members are more sane than anyone else’s, but I fiddle the privacy settings so only certain people can see certain things. People I meet through work see different things to friends I have known for decades.
Lucire is on Google Plus, but I wonder how it does. At one point, Google Plus business pages were seen (by the same people who talked up Google Plus profiles) as the one thing that would kick Facebook to the kerb. That hasn’t happened, and I haven’t seen links to stats, which Facebook provides.
