Google+

Anyone here got it yet?
I just got it, only got like 5 friends...
I don't mind handing out invites or whatever so if you want an invite send me a PM with your email (I think it has to be a gmail email though).

My profile: https://plus.google.com/u/0/100330112334995506266/posts

I've been wanting an invite since it was released as a beta.

/send haz PM

It looks good, this is going to be big if they can work some layout issues out.

I think it's a pretty cool idea. However, they're about 6 years too late, I'm afraid. I think facebook's market share is just too big and that the majority of users won't bother switching.

I think it's quite dumb that there needs to be multiple social websites to compete with each other when in reality we all just want one social site that everybody can use. Google+ is a little redundant because of this.

If the multiple sites were able to somehow integrate all or most of their features (especially the friends lists) I think all of our internet problems would be immediately solved; because then everyone could use whichever UI they preferred.

That is what Google + is doing at this moment...

You can integrate Google+ with Facebook?

That would be interesting!

I haz many invites to hand out while its available! Throw me your email somehow.

I have a google+ account, and honestly, I dont know what to do with it.

I think google+ will work. Twitter is about following/advertising and FB seems to be more about how many forms of advertisments they can fit in. If google+ doesn't go down the use me for advertising route it may have a place as an actual social network. I like the way you can classify people and the way the circles work, keeps what you are up to to the people that you want to know not just everyone.

I think that the way it works there should be a coastercrazy circle..

I am Gav Greenway, anyone else wanna share there user name on google+ for a CC circle the ball has started rolling lol [:D]

I added you to a Coastercrazy circle gav, I'm using my real name of Jeremy Malvin

[GavG]

made my own circle, I would say it would be nice to just be put in the same circle but feel they want to keep it up to the individual user. It would be a nice option to share a circle if invited.

I added both of you; I'm Alan Weide.

Im loving my Google+. I see no layout issues yet and Im starting to add my friends.

I think it's kind of stupid honestly...

Users don't have to switch, they're already using it. But for now it's still called Android, GMail, Google TV, Maps, Docs, Search or Youtube.

That combination is not an alternative to facebook; google+ is an alternative to facebook. I just don't know how quickly or well this will take off, given Facebook's head start.

Yahoo, Lycos....lots of search engines had huge headstarts over Google and now the word Google, even though it means (well, a googol) 10 the 100th power but today, Google means "to search" basically.

I wouldnt underestimate them. No matter how much of a headstart anyone has. Before Google I always used Yahoo. Now, I sometimes wonder if Yahoo still exists (I know it does...its just...why bother with it? LOL)

Given that Facebook developers can't code and design for poop, I'd much rather use Google+ once they get going. FB had a few good ideas and landed in the right place at the right time to drag in some sheeple who will use no other internet method of communication. I hope G+ drives them out, even though that probably won't happen seeing as how Google is really late to this kind of thing.

So what happened to going out and meeting new friends?
