Pix & Social Media Thoughts

Three years ago, an excellent photog took a series of four photos:
He matched one half of the classical building on the back of US money with the actual building on a sunny DC day. The pix have gone viral a number of times, including this past week on Google+. Nothing makes me happier than sharing cool photos and giving props to the original creator, Brendan McKeon.

Google Plus -> thoughts.

integrates many useful bits into one home screen: sites, gmail, cloud photo mgmt
"stream" flows like Twitter or Facebook but with fewer visual annoyances
and many more.

Will probably increase the rates Google can charge for its ads.

Very vague about the Real Name vs Stable Psued vs Spam Factory issue.

last week I have demonstrated to myself (and unlucky others)
that I reliably read social cues in email
I attain 80% of my intentions in threaded discussions
I don't even succeed fifty percent of the time for Twitter or chat

Last thing I need are more real time social media activities.

Will probably add G+ to the mothball repository with Facebook, LinkedIn no longer working

Twitter is seductive. Writers'-block issues destroyed by char limit; often offers illusion that I'm reading the minds of folks I like and admire.

Any thoughts?
