Hey Stan, I think G+ Communities are more like Facebook Groups. I’m really hoping I don’t get too many documents through the communities because I want them to be fun, not work!
Presently, G+ Communities don’t have any kind of space for sharing information. So as flawed as they are, Facebook groups are still the better platform in this regard- as much as I hate to say it. [grin]
Hangouts, G+ has hangouts.
Hangouts are cool, indeed.
Most of the time, I like video and video conferencing. Everybody likes video, right? [smile] But I remain concerned that a sustainable community (online or offline) is a community that shares, preserves, uses, and builds upon mutually appreciable insights, information and intelligence.
So if anyone of us is committed to building a G+ community, the community is going to have to go the extra mile and utilize other community platforms – maybe a website or something else.
Anyone who doesn’t go the extra mile is just playing around and having fun. And that’s not a bad thing per se. [grin]
All of a sudden there’s activity on Google+. What started it? Amber-Lee called me a dork in a new group. LOL! Oh, my. One more platform to have fun on. I hope….i HAVE NO COMPLAINTS BECAUSE IGNORANCE IS BLISS.
We’ll see where it goes, Bets.
