\nA new feature of Google+ is Search, Plus Your World, which aims to enhance your search results so that they\u2019re more relevant to you personally. Google will take things that you do online, and use them to give you better results. They\u2019ll also include search results from your friends\u2019 Google+ pages. You can easily turn this off if you want to, but it\u2019s still an annoying service, especially when Google gets it wrong. And Search, Plus Your World tries to tailor your results to your personal preferences, meaning you\u2019ll often miss out on opposing viewpoints or alternate types of information. Search, Plus Your World, can effectively shrink your world and shut everyone else out, even though it\u2019s attempting to do the exact opposite.<\/p>\n

\nGoogle+ has a very basic design that doesn\u2019t include anything fancy. It tries to make things as straightforward as possible, but it just doesn\u2019t look very good. One of the biggest problems is the spacing between everything. There is just way too much white space on the page so that it looks bare and somehow incomplete. There\u2019s just nothing interesting about your profile, either. Something is just off about the entire layout. It definitely needs some major improvements, and some flair.<\/p>\n
\nCircles are supposed to be one of the best things about Google+, but in reality they\u2019re one of the worst. It may seem like a good idea to separate all your friends into neat little groups, but in practice it\u2019s kind of annoying to have to categorize everyone. In real life, our \u201ccircles\u201d often overlap. Having Circles also takes away some of the fun about social networking. On other sites \u2013 ahem, Facebook \u2013 you usually get to see everything from everyone because no one bothers to put their friends into \u201clists.\u201d On Google+, you can get left out. For instance, your boss might not share with you the pictures from his personal life, or vice versa, and where\u2019s the fun in that?<\/p>\n
\nAnd finally, the most important reason you\u2019ll hate Google+ is that there\u2019s no one there. It\u2019s like a barren wasteland. Your friends tried it out in the beginning, but they couldn\u2019t get the hang of it and also saw no one else around, so they left. If you try to switch to Google+, you\u2019ll be alone. What\u2019s the fun in a social network that\u2019s lacking the \u201csocial\u201d aspect? No one will read your posts, and you\u2019ll have no posts to read. So essentially there\u2019s no point, and if you try to use Google+ you\u2019ll just end up hating it anyway.<\/p>\n
