I do not consider Facebook neither more nor less evil than Google+ because I don't know well Facebook. Simply I've never used it because I believe that the profile of the people of Facebook is chatting with friends (I can be wrong). Neither I wrote in Google+ before. I just used twitter and identi.ca . why have I opened the account in google+ then? Because they have just created Communities. For a newbie is too presumptuous create an account guile GNU. I would not do this: https://twitter.com/gnuguile even if the account was free, because I have no sufficient knowledge to manage that account. It would be too honor :D. Another thing is that I think Guilers are wrong not managing an account like that. With google+'s account is different. This is not an honor because it is supposed to be community and then anyone can talk. I've just been faster (or nobody wanted to open it :D) The administration in my opinion in this case is totally different, it just is restricted to the rules of polite behavior. I think I can do it although probably other person would do it better because as you see I'm not exactly a phenomenon with English. If someone wants it would be perfect. I have to see if Diaspora has communities and it works well. Then I would open an account there.
