    Google +

    If you have heard of Google+ and want to be a part of it, I can send you an invitation, as we are now members. And once you join, we can create a "circle" of Pet Talk folks there! Let me know, post if you'd like an official invite, I don't know how many I am allowed to have, but might as well use them!

    And once you are a part of Google+ of course, please "recommend" our sites!

    The "circles" on Google+ are the Google answer to social networking like Facebook, but Google+ also lets you very simply mark sites you like with a "+1" kind of similar to a Facebook "like" button.

    It is in its beta right now, so still experimental, I guess!

    My son sent me an invite - I haven't looked at it yet. He seems to like it. He's administrator of a forum and says that so many people there have dropped FB and gone with Google+ now. It sure took off like wildfire since it was introduced. If it doesn't have all the negative issues that FB seems to have, then I'll probably give it a shot.

    Found you. There were three, but your location was listed also.

    One +1 of Google+ over Facebook is you can share or post to different circles rather then everybody. I can share with both off roading groups or just one, or I can share to both Pet groups or just one. You can stream to every circle or some or just one. It has "hangouts" for video chats.
