It could just be another stupid useless internet/social networking...thing, but Google sort of has a track record for awesome stuff. You can sign up to get into the beta, which I did through that link.

Also, if anyone is able to send invites, send me one. I don't care about Google+ so much as I want to annoy the shit out of my tech-obsessed friend by getting in before him. Also, he's Asian and gay, so that should motivate some of you to help me scorn him, you bunch of bigots, you!

so you are just doing this to piss someone off?

Not just, no. I'm genuinely curious, and the prospect of pissing someone off is a bonus. Gmail and Google Chrome are both pretty awesome, and I suspect this will be as well.

I have one. It's funny seeing everyone desperately seeking an invite considering it's a social networking thing and there is no one on there to be social with yet.

social networking is for loserz

You have an invite, Sacks? Hook a brotha up. I agree with you, but I still want to see what it's like (and lord it over my friend, send him into a rage, etc).

Email?

Sounds a lot like what Facebook and every other social network has to offer. I like the Huddle thing though.

Rape worthy

Lemme know if you want invites. I just got mine a moment ago. I actually really like it, but since not everyone can sign up for it, only a few of my buddies actually use it. There is a really handy Chrome extention for exporting friend info from Facebook and shoving it in your Google Contacts, which you can then see in Google+ and send invites or whatever.

Ohhh. I should get that.

so what, are they just handing these out to anyone?

They've been turning invites on and off for a few days now. It really blew up today though.

MAYBE I WILL BE A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY

You mean like Google Buzz? :lol :lol :lol :|

I'm not familiar with the reference.

WHO IS Kryxi McCharn AND WHY ARE THEY FOLLOWING ME?

i want to be your friend on google+. all of you. except you. yes, YOU.

i really don't see this working

nor do i want it to. facebook has become super convenient because irl i can just be like 'hey what's your facebook' and then keep up with acquaintances periodically in ways i would never want to if i only had their phone number.

I've been reeeeally purging my friends list on Facebook lately, though. I know that with the way it's set up, you can go and block people from seeing certain things or even having to read their stupid shit, but this circles thing seems to really simplify that.

it would be nice if google took over every useful software application. then society could just get a pip-boy with all their shit on it.

I'm ok with a PipBoy

I wouldn't mind looking at my wrist and knowing what's in my pockets, what shirt I'm wearing, or if I've got AIDS...but if I do end up having aids, it better show a sad face after the words.
