It really reminds me of FriendFeed, which Facebook gobbled up a few years ago. I enjoy the circles aspect as it's easier to differentiate between Friends, Family and Randoms. So far the only thing I've seen people post is random questions about how it works or rehashing what they already post on twitter/facebook.

It'll be interesting to see how it evolves. Apparently Business pages are launching in less than two weeks... So we'll see what the brings to the table.
When you tweeted this, I checked and it was still locked for me. Has been ever since.

Sorry about that. From my perspective, I just logged on to my gmail accounts and the option for plus was there. If anyone needs an invite, DM and I'll send them an invite (if I can).

Great.

But at this point they need 100 million to start making Facebook worry.

Well so far I like Google+ better, but you need some serious, serious traffic to compete with what is rumoured to be 750 million users.

A little over 10% of that in a few months would be some serious competition for Facebook.

Invites sent to those who posted e-mails in their PM. If you want an invite, post your e-mail (In PM).

Thanks for Glorious #1 for hooking me up with an invite. I signed up today to check out what the fuss is all about.

So far, I do see some potential for it to be the next big thing. It has some cool features like 'circles' to keep stuff private from your family or friends, but the webcam hangout is pretty awesome. Too bad I dont have anyone to talk to

Really dude? Make a damn effort and PM someone. Multiple people have said "Send me a PM With you gmail and I will gladly send you a invite"

We don't work for you, so don't pull this "As requested" BS.

Someone else can send you an invite, I sure as hell won't.

(Sorry If I'm overreacting guys but people who pull this crap just rub me the wrong way)

Still happy to provide anyone with an invite as long as you aren't Likwid888.
(Just PM me
