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.

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.

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)

It's widely known as "link din" - people willing to hand their address books to third parties causing spam to lots of mailing lists and forums.
I have no problems with it as a professional version of Facebook, but it's unfortunately as spammy as Facebook sending bogus invites to the world. I can only assume that installing their app will cause your entire Google address book to be spammed with invites.

I have not seen this at all... And I have been on linkedin for years. It has prompted many recruiters to call me and offer me positions. I like that then I dont have to go looking for work...
As to Spam, yes there are a lot of people on it that send you invites... but it is no different then any other social network. you could probably pull a lot of emails from XDA if you really wanted to.......
Anyway, I like linkedin even though I am not really looking for a job right now. each person has there own experience and if you dont like it then uninstall it or remove your account. also you could use a spare email account on it and all spam would go there. I think most people have a few email account. I used a junk email when I started with it.... Since I have not gotten too much from it I updated it with my personal good email that I always check.
Have a great weekend.

Hi there guys, i cant get Facebook to sync with the account and sync section of my phone. I press to add it but nothing happens. So i cant use my friends display images for their contact pics on my phone or have there facebooks in there contact information.
Brand New NS4G, not even rooted or messed with.
Edit: Did google lock that feature down?! Why the fu....you know what..no...I wont rage. I just dont understand a phone thats even fully supported to be open by google would have...a feature such as that locked off.

You might have noticed I thanked your comment. It was because it is a perfect example of how to not follow the rules here. Thanks for that!
Facebook Integration
Google has removed the integration on it for now. When it is reinstated it will allow Google to have access to your friends profile pictures even when you do not have Facebook integrated on your phone. Google wanted to be able to have more open access to Facebook's information rather than only gaining that information when the phone was synced with Facebook. So when Facebook syncing resumes your Google contact list will pull you Facebook friend's profile pictures will be integrated with your google contact from then on. They are wanting to be able to keep all this information on hand so there is no need to re sync every time there is an update.

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.
For those who ALREADY have Google+ accounts and would like to have other XDAers in their circles.
That I know of, there are no group circles that you can join. You make your own circles, so other XDAers with XDA circles won't see your posts automatically. You have to add them each to your own XDA circle.
This is NOT a post to ask for invites. There are other threads offering invites (and most of us are on there, too). This is just so we can all be friends.
Please leave a link to your profile, or if it's already in your signature (like mine) just say Hello! Hopefully that will cut down on spam.
I have a XDA circle already and have about 11 members. Great idea, keep in touch with the android community
my XDA Circle has 66 users... add me [email protected]
I still have less than 10! Can you imagine doing a "hang out" or "huddle" with 60+ people?

I'm pretty fascinated with G+ so far. I have about 350 people in various circles, it's time to go through and figure out how to sort them. I only know maybe 35 or so. There was a great list of google employees that are active on G+ with tips and open ears for suggestions. It's obviously a work in progress, and likely always will be to some degree.

How do u add people via email ?? i enter peoples email in the search and it doesnt find the user :\ ... btw my email is [email protected]
Hey everyone,
I currently own a Nokia Lumia 900 and I must say the biggest letdown is with the Facebook app. Here is my list of annoyances:
1. Cannot search for new people to add
2. Pictures sometimes refuse to load or load blurry
3. How slow it is to open and then you have to wait again for the feeds to load. These need to be optimized.
So what I am hoping for is an updated version for WP8 which will be the app on par with the other platforms (iOS, Android).
Anyone else agree or like to add anything?
A lot of things need to change for windows phone to be better and the fb app is definitely one of them. Let's hope they get it right this time at Redmond.

The thing is that they do not develop the app themselves. It's a third party that does it and they've been doing an atrocious job that's for sure.

There is nothing more annoying than when you tap on a picture that is posted on someone's wall to see it and it hangs loading and nothing shows up.

I don't think a facebook app is really needed when you have the browser. IE is more than capable of running facebook quite nicely.
According to what one regularly reads the Facebook Apps seem to be pretty terrible on all platforms. This does not surprise me given that Facebook itself is pretty unstable most of the time (login issues, Chat issues, etc.).
Still there is room for improvement on the App side as well.

If you ignore Sally and her Farmer friends it's actually all good.
Google+ is to say the least something everyone found great in the first 5 minutes and then forgot about, Twitter is an entirely different medium all together and does not really qualify for a comparison.
but it is of course totally up to you what you use and how you use it

Google+ is rubbish!
If you don't want app updates on your Facebook wall you can just set the filter options. And if you have people on there you don't care for just dump them off. I used to have hundreds of people but I didn't care about what they where up to so I got rid im now down to about 30 people close family and real friends and that's it. This was I get to use it for what its made for and that is to socialize with my friends. Google is gash for that its just a place to share advertisements for Google.
