The New Googs

I'm minding my own business on the Le Intérweb. Suddenly monsieur gets hit by Le Google+ (aka LG+). LG+ does this ninja thing and then, while I'm looking, dragon punches me into "Wow…this can weird but so cool" land. And then Blogger gets all fanshy-pants on me, looking all slick and clean. What's going on? I'm pretty impressed, but I don't know how long this will last (i.e. my infatuation with this new look).

I was am really confused by the Google+ thing, though. It sounds like it's supposed to be like the Book of Faces, but instead of you signing up to be someone's face friend, they get signed up by the author. Even if they don't have a Google+ thingy account thingy.

I vowed not to go onto Facebook because I didn't need another thing to sign-up for and check. LG+ solves that for me. I'm not sure about the whole, sign-up your 'friends' thing. As an experiment, I created a circle and called it the X-Circle. Then I added 9 people to it because I could only name 10 canonical X-Men off the top of my head. They are: Angel, Colossus, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Ice Man, Rogue, Gambit, and of course, Professor X. I am Professor X, of course.

We'll see where this thing goes. I'm sort of interested in social networking but I fear that it is something that I sort of do but not really do.
