Google+ takes aim at Facebook

Um, are you thinking of Buzz?

Wave was an extended e-mail platform.

Email is usually between two people but Wave had the functionality to add more people and collaborate which was more social like so I still hope it won't go the Wave way. Buzz had its problems at inception but its pretty much fixed now.

Uh yeah... that was the premise, but it never really went that far! :p
 
All I say is: This is like trying to overtake a service such as MXit. You'd be surprised how many millions play that Farmville.

Google+ is in limited Field Trial
Right now, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us your email address and we'll make sure you're the first to know when we're ready to invite more people.

Don't want it.

Don't need it.

Will this like all Google's recent "innovations" (irritations) have no OFF button?

all I want from google is search.

I don't want search history.
I don't want instant search.
I don't want predictive text.
I don't want previews.
I don't want "Fade effects".
I don't want "everything" toolbars.
I don't want moderated results.
I don't want personalized results.
I don't want geographically relevant results.
I don't want cookies that never expire
I don't want to have to disable Java whenever I visit google
I don't want social media telling me who "might" be a friend based on snooping my email.
I don't want people tagging me or my children in photos.


I want search.
I want a simple box to enter my search terms and a big button labeled "Search"

I want it to return a list (preferably 50) results that I could further filter by the simple expediance of adding or subtracting terms from my search query.

Google was able to do this 10 years ago, why can't they bloody well do it today.
 
Well we can't go back because most people are happy with those improvements.

Some people miss dial up modems but I am pretty sure that most are happy we have moved on.

Haha. Then by all means go and use Bing. No one is stopping you. It's market share is even rising.

I'm sure you have spinners attached to your car wheels. I don't need fluff, I need function.
