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.
