Over the last 48 hours, there’s been a lot of hype about Google Plus, what it can do, etc. But what grabs me about the advertising is “nuance.” So, I found myself asking colleagues for a Google + invitation earlier tonight (30 minutes ago), and now, thanks to one person’s generosity, I am about to accept that invitation (a portion is shown above in the screenshot). And, Google Certified Teachers are sharing changes they’d like to see….
- Facebook changes its privacy settings when it serves them, not me. I hope Google+ will give me more control so I can funnel content to the right audiences.
- RSS feeds and integration of content so I don’t have to mess with Ping.fm, Plurk, etc.
- It would be nice to more easily differentiate delivery of my posts so that not everyone is bugged by my posts (e.g. some family/friends say, “Miguel, why are you always on task?”)
- Image gallery integration and control
- A replacement for Skype, and all that now that Microsoft took them over
- All things.

I really like the Circles idea…this is what drew me to Google+ and I hope will allow me to drop Facebook. I immediately started going through my addressbook (it pulls your contacts in for you) and sorting them…gee, what do you do with “cross-over” folks? Mix ’em up!
Oh, how to invite folks…going to try this next:
