You deleted your Facebook app?
Six months ago I did the unheard of and deleted the Facebook app off my iPhone. I didn’t delete my profile – I’m not crazy – I just made it harder for me to access my account. The goal of deletion was to free up more of my time and allow me to be more productive day to day. It worked! I was on my iPhone a lot less and I was getting a lot more done…for about a week.
About a week into my experiment I discovered the Google Plus app. I didn’t find it on iTunes, it had been on my iPhone for as long as I had the iPhone but I rarely opened it. The few times I had, Google Plus was a wasteland – there wasn’t anyone to engage with and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do with the platform. With my Facebook app gone and procrastination on the brain I gave the Google Plus app another try.
I have to admit it wasn’t easy at first. Google Plus looked a lot like Facebook (without all the friends) and it even acted a lot like Facebook with the +1’s similar to Facebook’s “likes” and the similar “newsfeeds”. After about a month of only having Google Plus on my iPhone it dawned on me, I like Google Plus. Even though I have added the Facebook app back to my iPhone I still prefer Google Plus to Facebook.
I have listed the top five reasons I prefer Google Plus to Facebook in the hope of inspiring more of you to join me on G+. There are a lot more reasons I’m just going to list five and let you be surprised with the rest of the Google Plus greatness.
