Google Trying to Lure Celebs to Google+

alphadogg writes "Part of the buzz this week about Google+ is that Google is reportedly working to lure celebrities such as Lady Gaga to its new social network service with verified accounts. Not sure if tech big shots beyond Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg count as celebrities, but the list of the technology industry's biggest names using Google+ is on the rise. Dell chief Michael Dell – yes, the real Michael Dell — has grabbed headlines for his early enthusiasm for Google+ and interest in using it as a newfangled customer support and interaction tool. Open source movers and shakers like Linus Torvalds, Miguel de Icaza are also posting away."

    Sound like Google is desperate to keep Google+ in the spotlight if they are dredging up ho bags like Lady Gaga to push it.

    I have an account but haven't logged in yet.

    I need an online social network like Lady Gaga needs another dick.

    I created a Facebook account just so I could have the pleasure of telling people that no, I won't be their friend.

    I might make a Google+ account because it lets you make "circles". I want to create Nine Circles of Hell and then place my friends in them accordingly.

    See? Social networks are empowering!
