Now, to be honest, I was never one for social networking sites, but after moving house, i found it the best way for me to communicate with friends etc. Now at the moment i'm using *cough* Facebook *cough* but never been a huge fan. I Have a friend that works at Google and recently received an invite for Google+. I am still very new in using it so to give a full write up on it wouldn't be easy.I'd personally avoid any centralised data sucking app - though I do use facebook it knows little about me and I have fun annoying it. Diaspora https://joindiaspora.com/ may be worth looking at and if you have web hosting certainly worth a try. At least YOU have control - imagine what monsters will be unleashed in 5 years time if facebook is worth what myspace is and a rogue like MS buys it an has effective control of all your info and photos. Ditto google ..Google+ word got out recently and basically it took off in a big way, Google tried throttling it with 15 invites only but now seem to have sorted things out for as many invites as needed. I can hand out invites if you require them to get yourselves up and running but please send them to my email rather than through LUG so we don't flood things. The invites aren't for a personal use, but purely to hear you views on the new service.Sorry for the cough Regards Dave
