Got an hour to organize hundreds of contacts? We don't.
Google is now swinging open the gates to Google+, its invite-only social network, in the hopes that the company's considerable worldwide clout will help it unseat Facebook. The fledgling social network is doing much right, like hosting interactive videoconferencing "hangouts," consideringprivacy measures (even if belatedly), and offering the ability to edit posts. However, some decisions and omissions leave us a little cold.
To be fair, Google+ is only weeks old and is still generating its user base from among the hundreds of millions of Google account holders. While we don't expect absolute perfection in a first-generation Google product any more than we would from other software vendors, a variety of us CNET editors using Google+ have pinpointed some flaws and missing links over the last few weeks; we've aggregated our strongest complaints here.
