Google+ has its minuses
Google is now swinging open the gates to Google+, its invite-only social network, in the hopes that its considerable worldwide clout will help it unseat Facebook. The fledgling social network is doing much right, like hosting interactive video conferencing “hangouts,” considering privacy measures (even belatedly), and offering the ability to edit posts. However, some decisions and omissions leave us a little cold.
To be fair, Google+ is only weeks old and is still generating its user base from among the hundreds of millions of Google account holders. While we don’t expect absolute perfection on a first-generation Google product any more than we would from other software vendors, a variety of us CNET editors using Google+ have pinpointed some flaws and missing links over the last few weeks; we’ve aggregated our strongest complaints here.
Sounds like Google has done a lot of good things with Google+, even though the article title is rather negative.
