Google+

Not sure how many members here also use Google+ but just wanted to share my community I recently started over there for all things photography. If you are a G+ user please feel free to stop over and join. We look forward to seeing you soon. Take Care Ken

Yep G+ is growing with its communities now, very photog friendly and the compression is way less on there then facebook. Thanks to those who have joined

I'm on it but haven't been active. I'll try to put more into it. I deleted my Facebook account. I don't like Facebook.

me neither.

I'm still on Facebook because I have several groups of friends I associate with, not just photographers. Actually, for my photography "fix", I have POTN and then a couple Facebook groups that are both people/photogs from the region in which I live.

I've looked at G+ but just haven't felt compelled to get involved in another site to that level...expecially since my photography is not at a high level of "competitive photography"...

I joined. FYI Google+ has over 350 million active users now.

I was on Google+ for a while. Then I realized nobody else was. I deactivated my account. True story.

Now now, lot's of people were on Google+... Just none of them at the same time!

Joking aside, it does seem to be picking up steam, but I kind of prefer to just keep in touch with friends the old fashioned way. I feel the same way about Twitter, if my friends want to know what I'm doing, they should come out with me!

I do use Picasa Web Albums for my photos, since I have a lot of Google storage, which makes me nervous since it seems like G+ is slowing absorbing it and making it obsolete, especially when the carrier installed G+ app breaks the Gallery app's support for PWA on my Android devices.

Yeah...at the time only about 5 or 6 of my friends had accounts (interestingly most, if not all, of them are in IT), but nobody was on it. Facebook still trumps them all. I only have time/giving a crap about one social media outlet. I don't Twitter, have no MySpace, etc...FB is good enough for what I do.

Also, I wasn't a fan of the mass integration of my browser/search history, YouTube, G+, emails, etc....no thanks...

G+ have been a great place to be over the last year for photographers who wanted to interact with other photographers. After they introduced Communities I found that the quality of pictures in the regular stream went down, not sure what is going on.
