Google+ Invites Thread.

[HansKisaragi]

id take a invite if anyone got any.

[Copper Bezel]

But you won't know anyone on there, which sort of defeats the point of being on a social networking site, surely?

Well, in the sense that most people only ever join social networking sites via peer pressure, yes. But if + takes off, then you just get to be an early adopter and wait around a bit, and you get to be the one pressuring your friends in the interim.

I would quite like an invite if anyone has any spare.

thanks in advanced.

I may be mistaking but I think part of the point of + is that you can have different circles of people. So it could be possible to have a group of like "Ubuntu people" with others from this thread in it. Then start making groups for friends, colleagues and family as it gets more popular.

Add me to the beggars list

I would love to try it out. Never liked facebook and it seems a whole lot better than it. In exchange I think I still have some google wave invites left.

I guess because no one here said he got one to spare it's not gonna happen but I'd like to get one too if some one has a spare invite... (just pm me for mail address we don't want to feed the bots)

Circles seems to be what everyone is talking about but Facebook has had that for years. The only difference is they're called "lists" instead of "circles". You can sort your feed to see only "Ubuntu people" and you can also chose to post a status update to "Ubuntu people" or make an update to everyone except "colleagues." "Hangouts" is really the only thing I see that Facebook can't do.

I suppose it goes to show that Google is better at marketing and possibly making features a bit more obvious. If everyone migrates to Google+, so will I. That's what happened when everyone went from Myspace to Facebook.

Edit: I forgot the OP's request not to discuss this here. Sorry.

Not with some things, they launched Buzz without really telling anybody they were, or even what it was.

Google+ being invite only gives it the same advantage FB had when it launched. The marketing is good to nobody really enjoys the decisions Facebook makes every time they change something. Many would leave if there was somewhere better to go. Hopefully Google will knock this one out of the park. Sign me up for an invite.

edit: seems my invites have run out

I'd like a Google+ Invite, please PM me. Also, if this is as good as it is, I will be dropping facebook. Facebook has too many things that can spam me to heck.
