Facebook vs Google+

[Skynaveen]

I was using facebook for a couple of years when all of a sudden Google Plus appeared. My social networking life was torn into two - Me wanting to go after Google plus because of its features and privacy, But my friends were all hanging on to facebook.

So Guys which one do you prefer and why ?


Google+Facebook

[RCuber]

you should add a option of none.. as I don't use any social networks

[theserpent]

Facebook cos all use it
google plus have id dont use it,Its kind of complicated

[thetechfreak]

The thing is you should have made poll which one is better.

problem with social networks is that as soon as one website gets sufficiently popular there is way too much spam and junk when we log in.

The only reason I use facebook is that I can keep in contact with friends of my previous school etc
no other reason to go there.

I dont think google+ is complicated. Hangouts and circles are cool and easy to use. Other advantages include smooth UI, tight integration with google products like picasa, android etc.

[aroraanant]

Is it really needed to create a poll.
As I don't think anyone will vote for G+

[sarthak]

Loved google+ but all friends on facebook........

That made me So had to post!!
If you think Google plus is "complicated", facebook should be the Holy Grail of "Complexities"!

Google+ is complicated. Circles and all that stuff. Liking is easier than adding one (++).

Diaspora. Unfortunately that wouldn't cut it, since a Social Networking website is only as good as its users even if its a great idea and technically very good.

simply speaking don't have time for two social sites, for me one is more then enough and facebook has all friends, Google+ also has but facebook came first & no one shifted completely leaving facebook so I am active on facebook..

I hardly post(set my status), just share posts posted by others. check what's going on, chat few friends(once in a while as all or say most of my friends are on call basis or meet everday). That's it ..I love my privacy period

Frankly speaking If I count my posts(status would not be in Tens (number))

G+ - Never understood it

[ajai5777]

Is there such a competition exist?

[Vyom]

G+ - Never understood it

And how much time have you given to both? Yeah right.
It's Windows v/s Linux arguments all over again...

One you use all day, month and year... and the other you use for just an hour, and start criticizing!

It was never so luring to try it. But I did gave much time. Main reason to leave it was NO activity.

It is easier but you dont get privacy. I do not want my relatives and parents who are there on FB see status updates i just want my friends to see. In google plus I can add them to different circles and be done with it.

[Vyom]

^^ Technically, you can make lists on FB too. But Google Plus have made it apparent.

[Skynaveen]

I think friend lists are complicated and circles are easy unlike what ico said

+1
Comparatively plus is easier but both are easy.Though friend lists in FB is thing many people don't know about and understand.

[dashing.sujay]

I haven't seen a single person till date using lists. (except me )

[gameranand]

I like G+ but as my friends are on FB so can't simply leave it.

Exactly .. So I think Google plus is better but it came in late.

[gopi_vbboy]

i want to deactivate my account as they sell our data...but then i will lose contacts

Deactivate account on what fb or g+, and who told they sell your data?

I do. I like to categorize people in lists. So its easier to manage. But FB made them useless with their new chat layout.

I like G+ but as my friends are on FB so can't simply leave it.

I don't support this theory.
When I and my friends were on Orkut, a few were also on FB. I used to think the same. That there are no friends on FB, so reluctant to migrate. Rest is history.

Somebody have to step up first. "All my friends..." reasoning just doesn't make sense. At least to me.

How ? I can still use them effectively.

[ohm.patel1]

Facebook is a lot better. Google+ is also nice but a bit complicated.

tbh one reason why Facebook is easier to use is, you treat everyone as your friend. Your parents, your siblings, your friends, your girlfriend, your teachers and your enemies - everyone are your friends; especially your parents and teachers.

Not so in Google+. Circles et cetera are so complicated.

And if you don't treat someone (your parents) as your friends, don't add them! Problem solved! What's there to hide between friends anyways?

Twitter's concept of Stalking and Stalkers is also great.

Same with me
I only used lists to make me online for some specific people and to chat with by forming groups.(which is still possible)

There are relations tree and lists available for FB
If you want same with Google+ just make only one circle 'friends'
I do not understand why is it hard, i simply understood by just looking at it (and reading the description ).
Well i think its more like twitter. Adding a person to a circle is like following them but with additional benefits.
