Google Plus for the hard of hearing

[yendi]

If you are hard of hearing or deaf, Google Plus is actively looking to make the Hangout feature more useful, according to this post.

(And yes, I'm on Plus, and if I haven't added you back, it's because I'm unable to make the connection between your name and the online identity I associate with you.)

Today is the first I've heard anything as regards G+. I confess I know absolutely nothing about it.

XKCD tells you everything you need to know.

Is it invite-only?

[yendi]

Yes, but invite windows open and shut constantly (there was supposedly one last night, but I never saw it). They have let a lot of folks on, so I'm guessing it'll roll out faster than Wave.

I realized that by setting up my circles, I've done what I told myself I didn't want to do on Facebook: start adding all my Boston friends, which will increase the daily info dump to levels that start to feel like overload... or at least that's my bet. We'll see how it goes. I think that for someone who actually uses Facebook as social networking (as opposed to playing games), it will end up being one service or the other. *sigh* Except, of course, for those people who *do* play FB games and will therefore not go to Google+. Wait, the only person like that that I care about is the guy I live with... that might be just fine...

So Google + is just a Facebook clone? That's disappointing.
