Actually, it was quite interesting seeing my ex-gf post of her interest in 'guys' and see her develop & proclaim her "relationship', (behind my back) with some dude in the US.Now,she is convinced that she has had a boyfriend for 10 years in the US whilst cavorting with me for 2 years. I want to say thanks to Facebook for helping me end my relationship-let's keep sharing!

Never post anything on any social media site that you wouldn't be happy broadcasting to the world.

Cleo,

As someone who uses social media on the job, we say, "Is it worth my career?"

I'm the most boring Facebook friend ever (my boss made my friend her).

BTW, Google+ rocks with the circles. I'm much more exciting in some circles of Google+

Facebook settings are very convoluted, and confusiong, and buried quite deeply. Adding this kind of selectivity in an easy-to-access location is good.

I started using G+ and to be honest, prefer it to facebook now as it seems to be easier to link video, photos, etc. to the posts. The other good thing about G+ is that you aren't limited to that stupid 500 character limit post (unless you want to go in and write a "note", which most people never do).

It's not new, those features have always been there, it's just more obvious now.

With over 750 million active users, you would think that Facebook would be better than it is.

I love Google+ for the circle reason. I can post stuff that i would not want my parents are certian friends seeing. I don't use facebook anymore since I can not post things since everyone can see them and I don't everyone to see them.
