Google+ Invites open

[HeSaveDave]

Edit: Invites closed as of now. Meet back here at this thread when they open back up and we can all share invites.

 

[mr_burnzz]

What is this? I read that it's like facebook?

 

[HeSaveDave]

Yeah social thing. I like it so far. Cool options.

 

[mr_burnzz]

Oh..Useless for me then.

 

[HeSaveDave]

Damn it! I think they JUST closed invites!

 

[crunchb3rry]

If they open them again, I'd be interested in trying this out. So ing sick of Facebook. Really hope Google+ stomps a mudhole in its ass.

EDIT: Really liking Google's preview of the GMail redesign.

Google+ accounts are all open to the public for viewing, right? So if I make an account, anyone can find me and read whatever I say/do on the account? No privacy options?

 

[mrx001]

Looks neat.I agree with cruchb3rry.Really hate facebook very unintutive and broken.

 

[AshesofWake]

getting sick of facebook too. would love a G+ invite one day.

It's the opposite actually. You can easily hide your profile from everyone.

Also, when you make a post there are options to disable comments or prevent it from being reshared. Another cool thing: Have you ever posted on facebook and realized you mistyped or wanted to change your post? Then you had to delete it and repost it to do that? In google+ there is an option to just edit it. I'm really liking it so far. Can't wait to get away from Facebook. If invites open back up I'll post here again and maybe others can too. I'd love to get a CAG circle going.

Wow, nice. Makes you wonder why Facebook couldn't implement such common sense features. It's about time a new player showed up, it being Google should give them serious momentum, maybe now all everybody that refuses to use Facebook (or is just frustrated with it) will use Google+ just because of the name recognition.

I'd definitely like an invite if you can get a hold of some. How are the URLs to the G+ page? Do they offer personalized URLs? Like your existing gmail account username?

 

[sendme]

A friend of mine sent me an invite and every time I try to get in the service is full. At this point I might just hold off till it is out as only one friend of mine is on it.

 

[Necrozilla]

Is there a profile page like Facebook? Can it be customized? So boring in Facebook looking at the same layout, at least let users change button colors and add wallpaper to their profile.

 

[whoknows]

So Facebook killed Myspace and Google+ will kill Facebook.

Ah the circle of life :lol:

 

[Necrozilla]

Since when did MySpace get a facelift? Looks cool now.

 

[whoknows]

Maybe it's because Justin Timberlake took over.

 

[Necrozilla]

I'm still surprised Microsoft doesn't have one since they introduced Avatars.

This Google+ just looks like a Facebook clone...

 

[Access_Denied]

How do the invites for this work? Like, when I get one, do I get more to hand out to other people? I signed up for them to notify me a few days ago, so hopefully I get one soon. Google Music took about 2 weeks for me to get an invite, so hopefully not too much longer than that.

 

[v1et r1ce]

I just "share" something and input my friend's email addresses into the box above the share button and they get in.

 

[RAMSTORIA]

I'm liking Google+ so far, had it about a week now. It's just so "clean" compared to Facebook. Much like Facebook was more "clean" compared to Myspace a few years ago. We'll see how much it catches on though.

Exactly my thoughts "Clean". Let's make a CAG circle!

One social networking site to rule them all?

 

[masked lemon]

I heard invites were open again... would love one if I can get one. Thanks.

 

[sendme]

Yep looks like they are back up. Just got in from the invite someone sent me.

 

[gbpackers94]

Does anyone have any invites they would be willing to send me?

 

[crunchb3rry]

I signed up for that alert on Google's site, they should send invites to people through that, right?

Only when it goes public I think. Invites come from people in the beta already.

 

[whoknows]

So invites are open again?

 

[Gamer SDP]

from what I've read people can still send invites but your invite won't "work" (ie active) until Google allows it. it seems Google is occasionally allowing invites to be valid at set times so they can monitor Google+ growth.

btw I'd like an invite.

 

[Superstar]

I'd like an invite if at all possible. Thanks!

 

[gbpackers94]

I can give out a few invites. Just PM me your emails and I'll send some out. (I'm only going to send about 10)

EDIT: The invite button is gone. I'll invite you guys when they put it back up.

 

[HydroX]

I'd like an invite if possible. If someone can shoot one my way, I'll be in your debt.

 

[sleepydumbdude]

I have invites today at this time if you want one pm your email address.

 

[crunchb3rry]

Thanks for the invite! Very much appreciated. If I get any, I'll put the same offer up here for others. Been checking it out, so far so good. I imagine it'll only get better as Google streamlines it. Facebook is ed when this goes public.

EDIT: I'm currently open for sending invites. PM me with an e-mail addy if you need one.

 

[Chaneke]

@ gbpackers94 ty for the invite . kudos to you !

 

[cindersphere]

If anyone has an extra invite I would appreciate one.
