According to this, Google+ has almost hit 10 million members, adding around 2.2 million in 32 hours.
This is RIDICULOUS.
I'm a Google uber-fan, in the sense that if they wanted to rule the world, own my media, ravage my body and tattoo my face, I might allow them (so long as the experience could be unilaterally shared across a synergized virtual space). Needless to say, I'm excited to see where + goes.
With that in mind, let's explore some possible vernacular of the future (or, VERNACULAR OF THE FUTUUUURRRRRE)
+1//+ing//+1ed: Unpronounced expression of Google exclusivity; also, ranking system for media. A.K.A., The Artist Formerly Known As Prince+, the awkward plus one you brought to your sister's wedding.
Circle//Circling//Circled: Arbitrary shapeism associated with friendship; also, ranking system for acquaintances. Diminuitive-Tool-Sideproject mini reference, E.G., "Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake, and Rupert Murdoch in my 'maniacal rulers' category = A PERFECT CIRCLE."
Hangout: Casual way of referring to cool-ified chat roulette but with people you know and mildly enjoy. Hopefully a small omen of a future in which Google tries to resurrect some vintage slang.
Apparently the percentage of male users to female users on G+ so far is hovering somewhere around 80%, so 'hangout' is also synonymous with sausage fest. (Can't we keep stats on who the first person to whip out their dick was?)
Anyway, enjoy.
