This reminds me of Google Wave. Remember that? Yeah, neither does anyone else.
As much as I love google, I don't see this taking off. Facebook is too embedded into our culture.
I have no problem deleting my facebook account. I just need my family to follow suite.

So they can have a worse chance of it taking off?
Too little, too late.
Social networking sucks...the life out of real human interaction.

So was MySpace, but that site is about to shut down if it does not find a buyer. But I do agree that Facebook is more integrated in our life than MySpace ever was

myspace went to the bottom of the poop shoot because it is a piece of crap made for eleventeen year olds with emo kid hair cuts and piercings in their eyebrow and lip or bands that suck and that is the only way they can get their crappy screamo music out to those eleventeen year olds.

How many invites does a person get? Why am I the only one of my friends who signs up for these betas. Ugh. I always end up being the person who has to invite people, I want to get invited once!
No one likes me
Nevermind. Got an invite from someone on engadget.
What is this thing lol i finally got an invite and have NO IDEA where to start and what to do lol
can somebody break this down for me?
all i know is that you pretty much have to get invited and invite people to truly enjoy this. amirite?
To be as basic as possible, think facebook, only better features and more customization. Not to mention more privacy. But its in beta and just beginning. Get friends on there, get people from here on there, start creating groups (circles) and start posting.

Well, more like think facebook, only fewer features and less customization, not to mention worse privacy and still very buggy.
It is Google, so I absolutely expect it will get significantly better, and I trust Google more than Facebook.

I think google is trying to combine fb and twitter plus adding their own twists. The best party is, it's google, they'll have some cool **** added as they go along I'm sure.

It only uploads them to a private folder.
The biggest thing right now for me is that you can't hide yourself on the service. Facebook has a way to completely hide your profile - on Google+, your name, profile picture, and gender must be there and searchable. A couple of my friends work with potentially violent, crazy people on a daily basis and definitely don't want to be publicly searchable on social networks, making Plus a nonstarter.
Can anyone spare an invite. Despite the many publisher accounts I have with Google I can't get myself an invite. Would sure appreciate it. Thanks guys!!
im now able to invite people so then people that PM me already i sent them out this morning.
Anyone else wants PM me please and ill send it ASAP.
Your Welcome
got some invites free...
send me a PN for invite

lolol nice. but i wouldn't count twitter and fbook as vcr's. as of right now there much better then google+
the app you cannot do anything. no editing or inviting and its still new. got to invite people just to enjoy it
i got a couple questions regarding Google+ though
do you have to have a gmail Account? and is it just for androids as for downloading it in the market.
Because u can have iphone and still have a gmail account and use it but not on the phone is app store dont have it

From what I understand, google+ requires a gmail account and becomes part of your gmail email, connected to that specific email forever.
As for the google+ app it's only available on android because it's still in testing. Probably in a few months they will release an app for the iPhone when google+ is out of testing (if Apple approves the app)

The program requires you to give your number to add people. But I figure we can make a list of people(DON'T POST YOUR NUMBER lol) who are willing to share numbers through private means haha. So just post if anything and I'll update the list as often as I can.
Those willing to share so far:

Lol it is true. Samsung is trying to compete with BBM but it's hard to get someone to use something if it's not preinstalled.

So the app lets u see when a msg was delivered and when it was read?
They really just need to integrate aim and all those other ones into texting

In a sense yes. Like Kik not necessarily, I can't easily compare and contrast the two against eachother as this feels more instantaneous to me.

lol You already have circles(Whatever googles does for google+) and Facebook Chat/Messenger.
I just want a messaging program that doesn't destroy battery life.
This program has the potential to be widely adopted but iPhone users will go straight to iMessage, BBers will stick to BBM and anyone who is chatting cross platform prior to this will stick to WhatsApp or the other variations. Not to mention that Samsung could make the switch really quick and easy if they make it so you can scan your address book to add buddies or add them via username/PIN. If they release to iPhone and BB quickly as they plan to it has a chance. But really, can ChatOn do anything that I can't already do with Go SMS Pro?

I noticed that when i upgraded from the Windows 8 Developer Preview, to the Consumer Preview, there are a bunch of missing apps. For example, Socialite, Alarms, Twitter, and so forth are missing. Is there any way to get these apps? And does anyone know why Microsoft took them out of the Consumer Preview? Share your thoughts
I don't exactly know to restore them, but I think that Twitter and Socialite was taken out because of the People hub/tile. Maybe the other apps were taken out because they were low-quality? Now I'm confused too

Hi, can someone with the One confirm if the new Sense calendar allows drag and drop? Because the lack of it in my HTC S made me switch to the SG 3, but I really want to return to HTC...

Edit: * was one of the reasons
If it doesn't then just download stock calender doesn't that do it?

Of course not, the screen size and resolution were the main reasons. But I use it a lot, and it really annoys have to edit the event every time we want to change the day or time
3 words: business calendar pro.
Surely if a calendar is that important, it's worth paying a small amount for one that does pretty much everything you could want.
