Google+
Posted by cocomagic on Jul 10th 2011

Anyone else using Google+? It’s Google’s version of Facebook, but it is quite different. I’m already liking it quite a bit more than Facebook. It’s still invite only but I think I have some spare invites if anyone is looking for one.

This is my profile if you want to add me!

Big failure on Google’s side. Doing the “You’re not allowed in” that Eric Cartman did with Cartmanland. I had enough of Google’s shit the first time I wanted a Gmail account.

Wouldn’t mind an invite if you do happen to have one to spare mate.

i’ve been using G+ for abt 2 weeks now, and i love it, especially since i don’t use facebook or myspace. Circles are pretty great, i can send stuff wherever i want, and Hangouts (the video chat) works great.

Even if you have an invite, it is too capacity. You’re not allowed in. Google is getting dumb with this “Oooo. We’re not comfortable saying we did something right, so we’re going to leave it in Beta forever.”

Just annoyed with their slow roll outs. All other major tech companies do it relatively fast and google diddle daddles.

they just learned their lesson with Google Buzz (a huge privacy failure with wide rollout)

No one cares about privacy. Why else would you be willing to try beta software from a company with a history? I am sure PS3 gamers feel the same.

To be fair, Google+‘s notification service ran out of hard drive space! We got spammed with notification emails if we caused one to happen at the right/wrong time so I’d rather have it be by invite only do they can keep services up and keep up with the increasing demand than allow everyone to pile on and it all crashes and fails for a week or whatever.

Just accept an invite and enjoy it lol

Daniel Tosh agrees with me! No one should be on Google+

I got Google+. I still don’t get why it is so special.
