My question about Google+

I'm getting invitations to join, which means that some of you, err, respect my geek cred.  Many thanks for the vote of confidence.

But I'm wondering if Google+ will be as useful as Facebook in catching idiot criminals:

Police say London Eley, his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his 1-year-old daughter, allegedly solicited to have him murdered.

According to authorities, Eley posted this message on her Facebook wall: "I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father."
Investigators say Timothy Bynum took up the offer.

...

In fact, Bynum allegedly responded to Eley on Facebook: "say no more," "what he look like?" "where he be at," "need dat stack 1st," and "ima mop that bull."
I'd think that the Google+ "circles" would make criminal investigations easier, especially if someone named one of them "ima mop that bull".

Well, it would.

    I'm curious what the stack would consist of: pancakes? Short stack of tall? Texas one-eye with a fried egg on top?

    These things matter, and now we will never know...

    yobluemama, heh.

    Greg, I expect it's a stack of Franklins, or (more sadly) Jacksons.

    IMO "Social Media" is as much of a fad as Desperate Housewives or Ginsu Knives...
