cant stand up and reach aaaaaaall the way to my camera to get a picture from the mem stick
its so far and this chair is so comfy and these doritos are so tasty :saddowns:

Inacio I demand you put a real picture of yourself on there.

I mean come on man you just joined it and you're part of one of the first waves of people, so you're going to alienate yourself from people already?

The chat functions are cool, but it seems like a less developed facebook right now. It's way too similar, without offering as much I think. We'll see how it becomes when more people start using it.

Without offering as much is the good part. because now I don't have to see those stupid game requests and achievements on my wall.

Yeah I think that's the BBM feature or something.

This shit is sick though.. you can post public updates and shit. It's like twitter on crack with all of facebook's features or something. I hope I can get all my friends on it

[fylth]

This looks really cool, cant really say if ill be using it until it goes public though (or if someone invites me, but I don't know anyone with an account)

[robotman5]

i probably will just stick with Facebook. then this.

[IpHa]

I've sent out 28 invites now and I'm still sending more.

PM me with your email address if you want one.

[tehfrog]

I requested an invite.

I didn't get one

[Prefan]

I got in, pretty nifty. My name is prefanatic on it, if anyone wishes to circle me up.

Great, more social networking bullshit.

I was appalled at how many people were acting like this is some innovative new idea. There are constantly these new "revolutionary" means of social interaction that look cool in a video and nobody ever ends up using. Remember Wave? It's just another overly-complicated networking that tries to replace the tasks which come to humans automatically.
Durrr, thanks to this revolutionary new software, I can tell my friend how boring work is without my boss knowing.

It was a fucking experiment man, it failed.
Are we not allowed to experiment with new stuff anymore?

[NotMeh]

It's because FB became a shitheap and Google is a very popular company.

[Dokaman]

Facebook but with groups?

[Kamrua]

Can't wait to see this dominate Facebook. I've always loved Google, they have the best programs/web applications ever - all that for free.
I also love their simple and clean designs, as a minimalist :)

It's been three hours.

[Jimbojib]

I didn't have to apply, is that odd?

[RivaGe]

Sent 3 invites and also invited my second google account but didn't get the email. Guess I'm doing it wrong.

[DOG-GY]

Request another one.

[Dalto11]

I suppose I'll just wait then and see, I assume IpHa got my PM I sent last night and I was one of the many he invited, so yeah.

[Cabbage]

Just requested an invite. It looks pretty sweet, especially the 'hangout' shit. Sort of like skype, but free.

I realized that if someone sends you an invite, they don't email you. You sign in with your Google account and the 'Join' button is there.

Wow, that's confusing, but ok. I'll try that.

[icemaz]

Don't suppose anyone could spare me an invite could they?

[DrLuke]

I think they should've given it a better name than google+, it's kinda long to speak out... but other than that I am really looking forward to it and I hope everyone will migrate to it!

[nikomo]

Huh.
I just went to plus.google.com and I was able to straight up register.
Funny.

[Spycrabz]

If anyone can give me an invite, PM me and I'll give you my email :buddy:
