Does anyone have any experience with Google+ on the Transformer?
I use my new TF a lot for social media and I would like to see if and how Google+ is working on the TF.
Since I haven't received an invitation yet I'm trying to get info on who's using Google+ now, how happy he/she is etc.
Of course, an invitation would be welcome so I can start testing myself as well...
You can use the main website which gives you about the same experience as going on facebook.com (desktop version) its pretty smooth. You can also download the Google+ app but as of right now its not really tablet friemdly. If you have any questions just let me know.

At MWC there was an app for the Economist and an app for Wired and yet here we are towards the end of May and no sign. Anyone know what they are waiting for?

nook supports magazines
For your information, NOOK apps can support quite some magazines and Kindle too. =)
The Economist says an Android app is in the works and will be coming soon - this may have been the one that demoed at MWC
Zinio will be the best magazine app when its available. They are actively working on a honeycomb version and will answer any questions on twitter promptly. There is a leaked version grom the galaxy tab that some people have hacked to work on the xoom but zinio's xoom version should be out soon. If you need access now try nook but I don't like the way that app works. Patiently waiting for zinio

Zinio is a magazine reading application. At the moment comes with some free magazines.

This app is exactly what I've been looking for, lots magazines with reasonable price.
However, its very slow to navigate and zoom within a magazine. I even got a warning for "System encountered low memory" for the first time on the Xoom.
So I'm not going to buy any magazines or subscription until the app becomes more usable.
Hopefully new update is in the work.
Coming from an Ipad, I was very much looking forward to this being released. The program is ok, relatively slow as well. Sadly, the national geographic subscription I paid for will not work on honeycomb yet.
Somebody posed this question around 6 months ago and I am curious what most people like these days. I know some changes have been made to some of the apps out there. some for the better, some for the worse. I personally am partial to Tweetdeck. I find it user friendly and also like how I can exceed 160 characters.
anyone else?
I enjoy Twitter for Android, but I have used Twicca and it is quite nice.

I use Plume. The ads on the free version don't really get in the way. I've tried them all, keep coming back to Plume!
Twitter seems to be slowly kicking out the third party apps that coincidentally help make them famous on Android. I went from Twidroid to Plume and finally just made the move to the official Twitter app.
I use tweetcaster

I did the same thing. The official twitter app is actually quite nice! Twidroyd is garbage now. But plume is still an excellent app.

I don't know about most of you but my Friend stream does not work with Twitter, and hasn't for awhile now.
Did use Twidroyd, using Seesmic now.

Hi, Ihad the same issue right after the upgrade to ICS. I uninstalled G+, restarted and installed latest G+ back, since than the hangout didn't appear.
Google+ Hangout working fine here. Actually it even fixed the "muted" microphone
problems in HC.
Yes, I'm experiencing this also!
I bought my daughter a Transformer Prime, upgraded to ICS.
When I go to my computer, open Google+ and invite her to a hangout, she gets the invite but when she opens it it's like a new hangout is created, one that is only connected to the android G+ messenger app. Because I can find her messages and open the hangout on my android phone. But all communications between my computer and her tablet are blocked (I don't even get her chat messages to the computer, only to my phone)
Trying to figure out which one you guys feel is the best for our tf101. What do you think?

I use friendcaster. It might not be perfect but this is much better than the official Facebook application. The official is very slow and is pretty useless in low network connectivity condition.

Since all of the browsers and apps are terribly glitchy for me, the best solution is using Splashtop HD to remote desktop my computer and view from there... Rather roundabout but it's fast and Doesn't Glitch!
I think there are three real tablet Facebook apps:
FaceDroid (paid app)
Friend Me
Friendcaster.
I'd say Friendcaster is the best one, gives you a very nice Facebook experience with all needed features and a nice UI, plus good widgets.
Definitely not the Facebook app! Too clunky

how is that facedroid app? I heard its pretty good as well. Anyone have any experience with it?

I like facedroid,but I think that fbm is better . But with facedroid if you have a problem or find a bug and report it to the developer, he will E-mail you back within a couple of hours on how to fix your problem or within a week or so you will see an update that fixes that bug.So the great support is worth the money alone.But it does show those pesky game updates in the feed like anyone needs to see that jeff married his cousin on farm ville.Without the games in the feed it would be the best fb app in my opinion.

hmmm interesting. What is fbm btw? Anyone else give a +1 to facedroid? Gideo how is the UI compared to friendcaster?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I've never tried friendcaster,but the UI is pretty clean,and fbm has a nearly identical look to the official fb app with the ability to upload pics and post YouTube links and has notification,but it does not crash,and when you open it it just works....best part is when you turn it off it is off and does not use 30 to 50mb of ram all the time like official fb app.

Use the default facebook app or facebook website if you want to see all your friend's posts.
Use third-party apps if you don't mind missing posts, but like the customization.
Remember, third party apps can be blocked by your friends so they not only see your posts, but you don't see theirs either.
Unfortunately, the stock Facebook app is a memory hog, but it works.

Not only is it a memory hog but it kills sleep eating up your battery. So get your friends to allow 3rd party apps to see their posts.

I've been looking for one too that works 100%, I love the look of Friendcaster Pro and have been using it for 6+ months but it screws up a lot and either doesn't post my comments/status updates or when I try and load something it will be like "Friendcaster received an invalid response from Facebook". The notification Window annoys me on the official app because it's so tiny and only shows about three or four things, not to mention I still can't figure out how to share things from it. Is it even possible to do so?
I'll give Facedroid a try and see how it is.

Friendcaster is good.
Using Firefox beta (v14) with agent set as Desktop/ipad is also good enough. (Desktop-like interface)
