Why are people complaining on Google+ ?

What does it matter ? Who cares !?

I'm starting to see alot of comments from people complaining that Google+ has quickly turned into a Tumblr. Why? Because people are posting single animated GIFs and it's getting reshaped everywhere?

I'm starting to see people complain that Google+ has quickly turned into a Twitter. Why? Because people are making useless posts telling the world they are sitting on the can?

My question is: Who cares? Why do you care?

I understand the early adopters became addicts on Google+ because it wasn't Twitter or it wasn't Tumblr. Not in terms of what they do, but the atmosphere.  Most of us early G+'er have stopped using the other platforms almost completely because G+ was different. I know it is true for me. I will still make those useless posts letting the world know I just let out a massive burp, but I'll do it on Twitter. I will share that will the Twitter world because that is what they are used to seeing on Twitter. I won't do it on Google+ because the way it was designed. The streams can get pretty noise on Google+ even if you are just following a few people, and if I don't want my stream cluttered, why would I do it everyone else?

But why do you care if Google+ has quickly turned into Twitter or Tumblr? Google has given you the power to choose how you view your streams. If Tumblr like post bug you, stick them in another circle, or don't follow them at all. You, and I'm talking about those complaining, are the one following them to begin with. Why are you complaining about something you chose to do?

I too have noticed a trend, and I have updated my circles accordingly. I anticipate a large group of people migrating over to Google+ from Twitter, so I made a Twitter circle. I stick everyone in that circle who always makes Tweet like posts. That way, if I’m not in the mood for it, I don’t have to see it. If I’m in the mood for it, I will click on it... or log on Twitter.

My point is, there is no need to complain. You were the one that decided to follow the poster from the start, you didn’t have to. If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t have followed. If you didn’t follow, you wouldn’t be complaining. If you’re not making use of the tools Google has given you to control what you want to see...... well then you’re doing it wrong.

There is no right or wrong way to use any of the Google services they provide. If you are interested, I'm writing a series on how I use Google's products. Maybe you'll find your own creative way to use what they offer. You can follow that series HERE.

Thoughts ? Leave a comment below and let me know what you think.

While you're at it, give it a +1 too =o)

Are there any bored artists out there ?

Are there any bored artists out there willing to volunteer their time to create an awesome logo for me ?

I realize my gimp skills are lame, but I just wanted to put something in my header so it didn't look so stock and boring.

I'm looking for one for this blog, SomeKindaRambling, one for my blog about Androids, SomeKindaDroid, and one for SomeKindaGoog, a blog about Google.

Please contact me if you can offer you time.

Thank you in advance.

How to sign up for Google Music Beta outside of the United States

Google Music Beta stores all your music on the cloud. 

But you can't request an invite if you are not from the United States!

Post as moved. I figured it made more sense to have a tutorial on how to sign up for a Google service on my Google blog (SomeKindaGoog), than to have it on my person blog where I ramble about random randomness.

How scared is Facebook ?

WOW, is Facebook really that worried ?

They were gonna pay someone to write a bad story about Google+'s circles ? Even if someone took them up on their offer, if someone was to start writing crap about the circles, they would start to see how AWESOME it is. How would having the power to control how private you want to be a bad thing ?

FOR SHAME !



* EDIT *
This wasn't about the Circles in Google+. This was about a different service offered by Google. Here is the service they are talking about:
