    Hello everyone,

    Just a random question - how many people here use Google Plus? If you use it, how often do you do so and how useful do you find it? We have a Google Plus page for both the Davidson Institute and Davidson Academy, but don't really do much with it, instead focusing on Facebook and Twitter. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    Best,
    Mark

    I am not on Facebook, but spend all day on G+. I think I follow DITD there (my daughter is a DYS).

    I tend to avoid tying my IRL name and persona with anything that I do on open message board sites.

    So-- I don't "favorite" or "follow" with an IRL account or name.

    I don't Facebook, I do have a G+, but don't do much with it. That account (a pseudonym) is tied to this username. So I could follow without a tie to my IRL name or location.

    Facebook YES, though we keep it very private. Google+ not using at all and will not.

    Yes using facebook and google+; somehow most of my family has ended up feeling more comfortable on and using google+, but most of my friends are still on facebook, so I end up on both. Most days check in a few times.

    I use G+, and would use it more if the rest of my family/friends did. Most of them are FB-only, sadly.

    I am not on FB. I use G+ occasionally. I will not post anything online with my real name for privacy reasons. So, I will not "like" anything or "+1" anything. But, I might read an article on G+ if my family sent it to me. I avoid FB and Twitter.

    We don't use G+ at all, but do use FB (I have a slight addiction to Candy Crush, but I can admit it).
