It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. And yes, those poor Brazilians…

I guess I will answer your question with another question: how much marketing does Google need for their own product? The Google name is pretty out there; perhaps what they are lacking are explanations and showing how their products can be used. Is that what you are getting at?

I’m pretty stoked by Google+, but I know that it will not take the place of one network over another currently. However, it will shift some activities.

I got an invite a few nights ago from a journalist friend and, so far, I’m pleased. I think G+ will succeed not only because the ease with which you can compartmentalize your experience, but also (for many) it will represent an opportunity to re-do their Facebook experience.

I wonder how easy it will be to remove (*really* remove) your G+ account. Other social networks make this difficult …

Also: if G+ succeeds will they kill off Orkut? If so, where will all the horny Brazilian teenagers go?

I got my invite late last night and have been playing around with it for the last hour. Thanks for the guided tour – it explained a few things that confused me. One question I still have, though: isn’t it supposed to show up in your feed when you +1 something on another Google product? I’ve got to get to other things (yanno, “real” work) and I’m going to try to figure it out later, but thought I’d ask just in case you already do know.

Agreed – something about notifications that just make me have to see what is going on. Nice chatting with you all last night (and working the kinks out).
