Google opens Plus social network to everyone

Google Inc. has opened up its Google Plus social network to everyone after testing it with a limited audience for 12 weeks.

Google said in a blog post Tuesday that it will now let anyone sign up for Google Plus. Previously the service was only available by invitation, though it got easier to join in recent weeks.

The company also added a search capability to Google Plus that will let users sift through posts on the site.

Google Plus is the online search leader's attempt to compete with Facebook, by far the world's most populous online social network with more than 750 million users. Tuesday's upgrades come two days ahead of Facebook's f8 conference in San Francisco, where the company is expected to unveil several new features.

I voted no. I am not this kind of person with social network.

The more people join the more people will get infected (sooner or later) because malware writter want their creation to infect as many as possible. Social networks fulfills the conditions with a problem.

Registered too, but I must say its too early to judge since its a new social network so let's say not so many users were registered.

As the majority were users used Facebook all time.

The worst part is that their is no way to change your age ...If you made a mistake when registering than ....that's it.
I for one won't be joining or using Google+ , mostly because I don't like this social networks and as second reason because most of my friends are still using Facebook.
Google still needs to come up with some articles on how Facebook 'is bad',to get the people away from FB.

Seems I need to learn more in Google+. Probably when more years to come, Google+ and Facebook users may equalized.

Yes , you might be right......but I've notice that Facebook is also updating very frequently their site. The main advantage that Google+ has are the extra features and the simple fact that is 'fresh'. Facebook had some privacy problems and the old scam/survey attacks but it has one strong point : everyone is on facebook ( at least for now).

I won't join because I don't do the whole social networking thing.
