Nudists: FB vs G+

Posted on January 20, 2012 by All-Nudist

All Nudist has had a Page on Facebook for over a year and a half now and it has worked quite well for its purpose; to direct folks here to our website, of course!  Have you been there yet?  It has a lot more postings than this site since it’s so easy to share little tidbits from all over.  Plus, we stray a little from the pure mainstream nudist path, just for fun!  Click and share, voila’!  A lot easier than setting up, writing, and publishing a post here, believe me.

That works fine for that, but here on our website we can have all the other bells and whistles that round out the experience.  You get lots of links to all sorts of places plus our irresistible articles on such fascinating subjects  as how cold it is in Wisconsin today and why nudists poke holes in themselves!  Well, lots of links, anyway…  Oh, and here we can talk like grownups without some bluenose flagging a post and causing problems!

Being dinosaurs in the technology field, we’re only slowly spreading out into the social media, but we’re getting there.  We got into G+ last year and it’s had its ups and downs.  There was a misunderstanding between us and G+ about the name of the page.  Basically, they insisted that we use our Google profile name (Allnudist) but wouldn’t allow ‘Allnudist‘ as a name!  We worked around it and everything has gone smoothly since.  The page is now called All Nudist.  Go figure.

Now, there are a lot of folks using G+ that harbor ill feelings towards Facebook for one reason or another.  Some just like G+ better.  But there’s a strong feeling there that FB has had its day and G+ is the wave of the future, so why not dump FB altogether?

Well, for us FB provides some features that G+ doesn’t plus we have a large following there to serve.  No matter  how well G+ does, it’s going to have a long ways to go to catch up with FB in many ways.  The ways that matters the most to us are resource sharing, of which there is much more on FB, and sheer numbers of folks interested in nudism.

G+ is new and growing very slowly as far as nudist resources are concerned.  There are lots of people claiming to be nudists but few places where they can connect other than through individual postings.  There are hardly any nudist G+ Pages at all.  G+ has no provision for a website G+ presence yet other than a simple posting Page like ours.  B O R I N G .

All this leads up to a listing here of the pages on Facebook that we have found, and the G+ Pages available.  Take a look at the two and I don’t think you’ll need to ask why we’re going to stick with FB for the time being.  G+ may be the wave of the future, but for us anyway, that future is still far away!

Pages on Facebook that relate at least loosely to nudism/naturism:

 Google Plus (G+) Pages relating to nudist websites, resorts, groups, etc:

    I chose to drop Google+ entirely because they have recently taken some steps to promote it that are essentially an evil manipulation of search results. Here’s an explanation by the founder of SiteSell which is a long establish small business site building/hosting service:

      But it’s just so convenient to go online with Chrome, log into G+, check your G-mail, then travel just about everywhere, all without ever leaving the Google ‘family’! The price of that convenience is having your experience totally controlled by Google.

      Your information is used by Google as it pleases, the information you receive is controlled by Google, your actions are monitored and shared by Google, and you risk becoming completely dependent upon Google. Even were Google an altruistic organization this would not be a good scenario.

      Of course, Facebook and all the rest do their best to do that too! Thanks for the comment and the link!
