As I’ve used G+ more the last week, I’ve realized the service that feels the most redundant is my Tumblr account (on the custom domain http://www.quackquack.org). I started the Tumblr because I wanted something more “mine” than Facebook, a place where my photos and links would live independently. But how silly – Tumblr is just a hosted service that I ultimately have no control over.
So what’s different with G+ and Facebook? I think it’s the sense that Google will archive things. It feels like everything disappears after it ages off of the FB feed. #blog

Agreed about disappearing on FB. It was my understanding a month ago or so that FB was “about” to roll out an archival feature that you would have one week to scrub, and then you would not be able to change stuff, for the most part. It was being beta tested by tech bloggers, one of whom gushed about it overmuch. Haven’t heard much about it since.
Yes, I remember, it included the make-over the profile page to be photo-friendly. There was all this talk about making it a mini-bio of your life, etc.
