UPDATE: There is a more comprehensive list over at Media Bistro. I am suspending updates to this post and referring you to head over there and comment.
Last weekish, Google released their new social network Google+ to the world. I jumped on the bandwagon and set up my profile that first day; I also invited a handful of friends before they quickly shut down invites. I friended some folks, but mostly I've get a lot of updates from people in technology: tech writers, Google employees, and my more tech-savvy friends. Since then, I've been scouring my friends's circles (networks) for more creative-poet-writer types who are already using Google+, though it seems my people are slow to jump into the mix.
The nice thing about Google+ is that you can choose what information to make public. I have some public info and I think it would be fun to share some of it with other creative people. I have been looking for a list of writers on Google+ and I found this article, but it's really more of a list of techy, social-networking junkies who have published books. Where is the list of poets, flash fiction writers, small press editors? Why can I find one? Where is my tribe?
I have decided to make my own list in the hopes that people will jump in here and share their info. If you are a writer, poet, indie mag editor, essayist, fiction writer, and/or overall literary kid with a Google+ profile, please leave your name and profile link in the comments. I will update this post as the comments come in. Here are the poets and writers who have joined in the fun so far.
