Please discuss: Is the lack of Farmville on Google+ a feature or a bug?

we will see apps for g+ soon, there are a few already.

but I don't think farmwille-like stuff will be among the pioneers. they will come when (if?) g+ becomes large enough for such things to be commercially interesting.

There are a few bbf people on g+ but most of network are art directors and computer geeks. I think the apps we will see in the next few weeks will largely be by and for those groups.

The appearance of apps designed for mental midgets and insomniacs will follow a curve similar to the site's popularity amongst the masses. So to answer your question it's a feature that may not make it out of beta testing.

Great, just what I need, another social networking site that I'm going to have to join one of these days, and then ignore.

Why don't you do what I do: don't join it, and then ignore it anyway. Has worked very well for me so far.

They already know what was searched from your computer during the last years. Now you tell them who you are and who your friends are.
They can make money from that knowledge, why should they keep anyone out.

I tried that for years with FaceBook and Twitter. But eventually I ran into something I needed to do on each site, so I joined them.

I did manage to avoid ever joining MySpace, though.
