MySpace died, and the only people who linger there are the ick of society. Now Facebook will die, and who will remain there? The old people, probably. With their farms.
I like this. Let us migrate forward.

I liked it before it was popular.
Ditto, I liked FB before it got too popular...and I was in college at the time so I suppose it was kinda fun stalking people and posting tons of pics of yourself partying to try to get attention. Now...meh. I still post pictures...but now they're all of food And I have way too many fb friends...a ton of people I may have met only once in college. But I feel bad defriending people... :kaodrop:
I joined Facebook when it became mainstream because I really don't give a trout about social networking that much. I'll hang onto mine because I have a bunch of people that I couldn't really add again elsewhere (like a girl I had a single class with at uni 2 years ago and who is now living back in SKorea) but migration sounds fine.
I'm interested to know what Peegee based preventative measures they have.
So where's my invite already?
I signed up for Facebook a long time ago, then forgot about it completely and didn't start using it again until a couple of months ago. Really the only reason I started using it again is because I had like 70 friends' requests and I felt bad that I was (inadvertently) ignoring them all... >_>
Anyways, if I get an invite to the Google+ thing I might poke around it a bit, but I'm in no rush really... got too much social media stuff to juggle as is! :raichu:

THE PLOT THICKENS!
One of my Twitter-friends asked out of nowhere if I wanted an invite and I said yes.
So now I have a Google+. I have no idea what I'm doing! Whee~
Edit: Okay, I've poked around, it's basically Twitter/Facebook except you can sort your friends into categories and then choose which categories see certain status updates you make. So, it's like Twitter/Facebook but with Livejournal's friends' filtering.
WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE SOCIAL NETWORKS

You can do that with Facebook too.
I thought that with Facebook you could only choose from Public, Friends, and Friends of Friends or something? I've no idea though. I don't use Facebook very often...
You can do it in Facebook too, but it's a kind of hidden away and clumsy feature. In Google+ it's more a part of the main mechanic and much easier to manage. There are a few other cool-looking features I have yet to try out, but other than that it's pretty much Facebook with more focus on privacy and controlling what you share with who (and, I think, more integration with other services and communities). No breakthrough differences beyond that, so I'll probably just use whatever is more popular in the end.
Edit: I've only used it for half a day though, so I'll reserve final judgement for now xD
Ahh, thanks for the clarification, Rantz
Now I just need to get the invite system sorted out
Well wouldn't you know, they made it so you can have one person in several groups.
I like it so far. I think the posts on the equivalent of the Facebook newsfeed take up too much space. And it's a pain in the ass to find people until you figure out how it works. But other than that I think I'd much rather be using this than Facebook. I hope Google+ takes over; it seems to have taken what Facebook does, and made it a little better.
And for those who can't let go of Facebook... <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/30/turn-google-into-facebook/?utm_source=pulsenews&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29">there's always this</a>
