theweaselkingDoes anyone know what it *is*?
Is like Buzz, the tool where nobody knows what it's good for or what you can do with it, or like Wave, where nobody knows what it's good for or what you can do with it? Or is it more like facebook, where it's useless crap that does nothing and EVERYONE knows it?
I mean, seriously. What is Google+ and why would I possibly want it?
EDIT: If you uncheck the "let Google use your personal information to spam you" checkbox, it won't let you sign up at all. FUCK. THAT.

I hope it takes off if only to spur Facebook into sucking less*. I hate FB, but it's that or little/no contact with non-tech-savvy friends/family.
* Replacing it entirely is my preference, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
