There is a slight loophole in that you can invite someone in by streaming a post to them. It seems a bit hit and miss, has worked for me every time but only for about half the times my partner has tried. So if you know anyone with it get them to stream a post and enter your email in the share box. If not PM me your email and I will give it a go for you. I can do it without remaining 'friends' with you!

They're full at the moment so are not taking any more invites, so even existing users cannot send anymore out.

It's a bit annoying really as I have like 3 people on it of which I probably want to really talk to one of them. So as it stands it's not much of a Facebook killer.

I hope they can ramp it up soon as there are some features like Circles which is really nice but if they delay too long, the fuss will die down and by the time they open up invites again, noone will care.

Thanks to a lovely mner I am now on Google+ too...

If anyone wants an invite pm me your email addy...

bilblio · 14/07/2011 22:03

I'm finding it a really good way to weed out the people on FB that I'm not bothered about. :) Until they find me on there... although the way the circles works is more like how Twitter works. You can follow people, but they don't have to follow you back. Or by putting people into a "I don't want to hear your random witterings" circle I could just ignore them most of the time without worrying about them falling out with me for defriending them. :o

I've got unlimited invites still, just email me username at gmail dot com,

niceguy2 · 15/07/2011 09:34

I've been adding a few friends too but I keep wondering....why would most people bother?

I mean if you've been a Facebook user for a while and let's face it most people have. Then you've built your circle of friends and uploaded a bucket load of photos etc.

So what's the incentive to change? To start over and do all your photos again? I can't think of a good enough reason. Circles is neat but i like many others already use the groups features in Facebook to filter out crap.

I'd like to think it will take off but can't help wondering if it's too little, too late.

Bizkit · 15/07/2011 16:13

The circles is what seems to be its major selling point but, as said before its the same as groups or lists on fb isnt it?
I have a few lists on fb that certain people are in and sometimes when I update my status I pick and choose who sees it..same thing no?

bilblio · 15/07/2011 18:36

It is, but it seems so much easier to use on google+. I use groups on FB too to only bore the farmtown people with game stuff but it's several clicks a couple of pop-ups (which don't always work), and then I'm never convinced I've done it right.

I think it's main selling point is going to be that it links in with all things google. I already use gmail, reader and calendar, so it should just be an extension of all of that eventually.

The downside I've found is it doesn't work with ie7, and that's all I have at work... although work would no doubt dispute that that is a problem. :)
