[MannyIsGod]

I haven't been able to send out invites. Damn.

[IronMaxipad]

I haven't been able to send out invites. Damn.

Go to your home page and you should see a box called "stream", it looks like the facebook status update bar. Just type something random there and right under it there's a box that says "+Add circles or people to share with". Put the email address of the person you want to invite there and then click share. They should get an email like the one i sent you.

Me neither... what's the point of getting it if your friends cant? :lol

Truthfully, so far it's not worth to get... it's only going to get good once it's officially "released"

[IronMaxipad]

I haven't used it at all either. The only time i went on it was the day i was sending invites. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao exactly. There's like 3 people on it.

[Trainwreck2100]

Thats alright gents cause we can still say we were on it when it was invite only

[leemajors]

Invites are currently working.

[spurs_2108]

[cheguevara]

[koriwhat]

[koriwhat]

for one, there's really no one on it that i know of except 2 people atm. that's about it for now.

[Sense]

Google+ has some pretty interesting things that Facebook doesn't... but not sure if they would catch on.. being that everyone is already established in facebook, and has been using it for years..

[MannyIsGod]

I'm sorry dude. I just saw your PM. Do you still need one?

[spurs_2108]

Thanks for the invite. Very interesting layout.

[GoodOdor]

I'd appreciate an invite if anyone still has one.

[BruceBowenFan]

goododor send me your email

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Is Voice not integrated into this yet or am I just not looking in the right place?

[leemajors]

Is Voice not integrated into this yet or am I just not looking in the right place?

You can get to some of the voice and video chat stuff by starting a Hangout, but that is the only thing I have seen.

[Drachen]

Thank you SnC.

[spursncowboys]

No problem.

[DJ Mbenga]

im completely lost but all the google stuff integrated is kind of cool. the app isnt haf bad either

[Bill_Brasky]

Anyone have any invites left?

[BruceBowenFan]

bill send me your email.

[spurs_2108]

How do you send out invites? I can't seem to figure out how.

NVM. Figured out how. How many invites do we have?

[leemajors]

How do you send out invites? I can't seem to figure out how.

Should be on the bottom right of the initial home screen under Start a Hangout and Go mobile.

[spurs_2108]

Should the stream be in chronological order? It seems that posts arent put that way. The dates are all mixed up.

[Whisky Dog]

They still doing invites? I'd appreciate one if so, let me know who to pm

[MannyIsGod]

The stream has been all screwy lately as have my circles. You can tell its in beta. That being said, I can't wait to move over. Will probably try the hangout feature this weekend during the WWC.

[MannyIsGod]

The Sparks feature is pretty bad ass also.

[spursncowboys]

They still doing invites? I'd appreciate one if so, let me know who to pm
pm me your email and i'll get it to you in about five hours.

[spursncowboys]

No one I know is willing to switch over from facebook.

[Dex]

No one I know is willing to switch over from facebook.

What's the point? Not only does Facebook have more to do, but everybody I know is already on Facebook, and that's the real reason I get on there.

I could care less about features like Hanging Out; if I wanted to webcam with people, I had ways to achieve that before. Hell, GOOGLE had ways to do that before.

[koriwhat]

G+ sucks imo...it reminds me of that shitty jomsocial module but worse atm tbh.

[Slydragon]

invite please
[email protected]

[jimo2305]

i've made the switch lol..

[MannyIsGod]

No one I know is willing to switch over from facebook.

Really no point in "switching" right now. I think G+ will eventually take over a huge share of the market though. Too many of the services are better and the privacy settings are way easier to manage.

It has better methods of sharing information - the real purpose of social media - for various groups like media geeks/junkies and certain professionals. It just seems to me that anyone who is technically inclined would prefer it to Facebook and this is at Beta phase. I can only imagine how good Google can make it given a year.

[leemajors]

invite please
[email protected]

Dunno if anyone sent, but I just did.

It'S now open to public

[Dex]

Too bad it still sucks.

[leemajors]

I look at it maybe once a week. No one seems to use it much outside of one or two people in my circles.

[Drachen]

So apparently everyone is fed up with the FB changes, I have read a lot of my friends complain about them and have gotten more friend requests on G+ today than I had since I opened my account.

[MannyIsGod]

I like G+ better. A lot better. But I must admit its dead and until it gains critical mass I won't use it all that much.

[CuckingFunt]

The facebook changes have been pissing me off. Not because the changes themselves are bad -- I'm generally pretty flexible when it comes to UI tweaks -- but because of how frequent they've become. There have been at least five times in the last week that I've signed on to facebook and been assaulted by a bajillion little windows telling me how to use the dumb new features that are probably going to be gone already by the next time I sign on. Just silly.

That said, I'm not a big enough user of social media to make it worth going over to Google+ all on my own. I was late to facebook, have only about 43 friends (all of whom are either family or really close friends that I correspond with primarily in person), and probably spend a grand total of five minutes every day actually doing anything on facebook. Realistically, I'm there until my group of friends starts to migrate.

[lefty]

So?

Who is still using it ?

[leemajors]

I keep in touch with exactly one person on it, and look at it every few weeks. Barely at all, but I like the new web and mobile layouts.

[Venti Quattro]

I don't use it anymore. lol Google.

[Drachen]

I still use it about once a day. I keep up with news and various developments on it. A couple of friends too, but mostly to keep up with android developers and such. I have noticed that more and more of my friends are using it, and the post counts are going up, but it is very slow.

I think that Google would serve themselves well by creating an app that posts to/pulls from both your FB and your G+ account (if such a thing doesn't exist).


--I think that is what HTC friendstream might be, but I am not sure.

Yup the HTC fs does that

[Drachen]

well I want an app anyway, because I am going nexus on my next phone.

[Creepn]

I tried getting into it only because I wanted to get the most out of my tablet. Only lasted a week for me. It's all about people updating inane shit in their lives and people posting pictures of their current dinner plates.

I don't know, it seems that there is a higher level of conversation on g+ over facebook (low bar, I know), but if you don't like social networking period then there is no reason to use G+ (or FB, etc). I think that G+ has some good aspects that help with productivity (hangouts), but other than that, it is still a social network.

[lefty]

Who the fuck switched the avatars ? :lmao

[Drachen]

Who the fuck switched the avatars ? :lmao

huh?

[lefty]

huh?

You havent noticed anything

[Drachen]

My avatar is the same, yours has changed like twice over the past two weeks unless you are talking about avatars on G+, if so my avatar is the same there too.

[lefty]

Lol no

And how did u know I was talking about mine and yours?

I didnt specify whose avatars got switched

[lefty]

bump



lol G+

[leemajors]

i don't think i have looked at it in a year

[lefty]

Me neither :lol
