Well it looks like Facebook is feeling the heat from Google+..... Hence the annoying changes to FB (which still seem user unfriendly with respect to Google+)......

What's your opinion? Are you sticking with Facebook or are you thinking of moving to Google+? Or another social networking site for that matter?

Tried Google +, don't understand how it works and not overly impressed with it.

The new Facebook is shocking but at least I know how it works and all my friends are on it.

I prefer Twitter TBH.

Facebook looks awful but Google+ isn't simple enough

Facebook are ripping off the 'circles' (Re: Family and groups) of Google+. I must admit that Google+ is harder at first..... At least from yesterday it went public.....

Facebook seem to have removed the link sharing thing that used to work fine.

You paste a URL into your status box or someone's wall, it thinks for a few seconds and then comes up with a preview of the webpage and a link to it, leaving you free to type 'Look at this' rather than just having http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_200453_langId_-1_categoryId_255216 as a comment on a wall.

Do you often ask people to look at laser piston ring compressors?

Not anymore!

:wink: I just picked something from Halfords because I know their URLs are particularly long and meaningless. Linking to bbc.co.uk/news is fine because it's obvious what you're going to.
