Maniacal Rage: What are we supposed to do with Google+?

maniacalrage:

I find Google+ confusing. Not its features or its design, but rather how I’m meant to use it. I find myself regularly asking the following questions:

  14. llllostandffffound answered: I asked those same questions, and then decided that in asking those questions it was too much work to begin with. Flickr + Facebook + Tumblr.
