Google+: The Pros & Cons according to its users

After the failure of Google Waves and Buzz, the web keep talking about Google+, the search giant’s new social initiative and answer to Facebook.

Since Google+ has been out to a small number of people that had some time to assess Google’s social network, Mashable questioned a circle where it hits a home run and where it strikes out.

We’ve already written a review about Google+, but we were curious about what early Google+ users thought about it. So we decided to ask a circle on Google+ about what they believe is good and bad about Google+. And they delivered: we got more than 100 responses about the pros and cons of Google’s new social layer.

Let’s be clear: Google+ is in its infancy, and many of the things they mentioned are part of future releases or bugs that Google intends to fix. Still, the conversation we’ll provide a look into where Google’s social networking is succeeding and where it comes up short against its competitors.

Read here some of the pros and cons of Google+, according to its users.

Interesting Mashable Take: "Google is smart to integrate Google+ into every part of its empire — it creates engagement and reinforces that Google intends to be social. It needs to provide assurances that private emails and private search remain private, though. How to do that may be one of its toughest challenges."
