Forum:Google+ Page

Recently I got a few Facebook friend requests from people on the wiki. Now, I keep Facebook and it's horrid privacy controls to personal friends only so naturally I rejected those.

It did get me thinking though. What do people think about creating a Google+ page for the wiki? ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 19:56, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * A facebook fan page and twitter account wouldn't go amiss either. Google Plus is a waste of time because it's just Google's pathetic attempt to copy Facebook. =.= --Speysider Talk Page 20:22, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Twitter is pointless unless we have a pile of pithily short things to post. It hasn't worked out so well for some other wikis.
 * A Facebook page won't have a proper connection to the wiki. The goal of this is also to connect Narutopedia members, not just to post stuff. Facebook is ill suited for communicating with different groups of acquaintances. The privacy controls for posting just don't work properly for that on Facebook. And you don't have proper control over the incoming stream.
 * Google+ is perfectly fine. Don't kid yourself into thinking Facebook is anything original. Social networks have existed for ages and Facebook is in no way the first. If Google copied Facebook. Then Facebook copied MySpace, etc... This is nothing new, everyone just brings new improvements to the concept.... you do know how competition and consumers work, right? Don't fall into the dark ages of monopolies. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 20:54, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if you make a G+ page, I won't be participating with it or looking at it. I hate G+ and don't have a single intention to sign up there to look at Narutopedia's page on there. --Speysider Talk Page 20:57, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh right. Did you hear the latest about Facebook trying to get people using it's pages features money to get their posts to all their subscribers? Facebook put out an IPO and they haven't even figured out their business model to keep them afloat. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 20:58, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Something off topic, Dantman have you received my message sent to you via email? - White Flash - (Talk) - 21:37, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
