Google's next project into social media looks very interesting. It's very much like Facebook, but with some nice additions and integration to gchat.

It's currently invite only, but I wanted to know if anyone actually got a chance to try it out.

Daniel. · 06-29-2011, 04:53 PM

I'm extremely excited to send invites out to friends and family as soon as it launches publicly.

As of right now it's in a field trial and only available to a small number of external people.

I actually had a really great use case for Circles recently and wished that I could use my personal account. I went to Vegas and had a bunch of photos I only wanted to share with certain people. If I had the ability to create a circle and limit the privacy of that album, I would have been a happy camper.

I had to manually select all 20-30 people and give them access to the album though. Kind of a pain in the ass.

Daniel - I know you can't comment too much on Google products, but is it safe to say that once this goes public, ads will be featured in similar fashion to how they are displayed in gmail?

True I can't speak too much about the product, but I actually don't know the answer to your question.

My personal opinion is that Google's revenues are mostly derived from ads so it wouldn't make much business sense NOT to sell ads, especially with the ability to tailor them even more specifically to users with all of this new info from their social graph.

deolio · 06-29-2011, 08:46 PM

my buddy's mom works for google and was telling me about it the other night. no more invites can be sent out though

. i'll definitely join asap. google is taking over the world.

NOLA350Z · 06-29-2011, 11:34 PM

Damn this looks interesting and easier to use. Anyone have an idea of when this will go public?

Robb · 06-30-2011, 11:25 AM

Actually there's a trick to invites... if you "Share" something to someone via email, it will have a link to "Try Google+".

SochBAT · 06-30-2011, 04:52 PM

I want. [email protected] if anyone has any spare invites.

ATM, I still think the testing capacity is capped, so even invites aren't getting in.

SimpleS14 · 06-30-2011, 05:28 PM

Yea I heard invites have been shut down.

I just hope Google doesn't keep the user base limited for an extend period of time. People might lose interest or the buzz might fizzle (think Google Wave).

sw20>>s14 · 06-30-2011, 06:15 PM

cant believe my sister in law hasnt invited me yet!

Daniel. · 06-30-2011, 07:20 PM

Aside from getting invites, what are everyone's initial thoughts on the product itself?

HyperTek · 06-30-2011, 07:45 PM

What does chrome OS have anything to do with Google+?

SochBAT · 06-30-2011, 09:12 PM

@Daniel - I like the current direction Google is heading in. They've spread themselves into some interesting integration. I've been really liking the +1 integration they're doing. As for Google+, its tough to say, because for me, I haven't been able to use it. I do like the idea of micromanaging friends/"friends" on social sites though. It allows me to be a dick, while not fully publicly stating that I dislike the person.

oramos23 · 07-01-2011, 12:02 AM

I got offered an invite but is this shit really worth it?

deolio · 07-03-2011, 11:03 PM

SochBAT · 07-03-2011, 11:36 PM

Blurryeyes · 07-04-2011, 12:42 AM

PM sent, I´m all giggly now

Daniel. · 07-04-2011, 01:07 PM

How the hell do you have 150 invites? And how are you able to bypass the lockout?

pignose4life · 07-04-2011, 06:36 PM

im at work right now so I can't send them yet I'll get to it when I'm out...
but I was sent an invite when they capped the limits, the next day I kept refreshing the page and randomly it let me sign up. more then likely you'll get the invite but you'll have to wait till they re open the sign ups.

Daniel. · 07-04-2011, 08:25 PM

Yeah. You're right. Even if you send them out, they won't work.

pignose4life · 07-05-2011, 02:10 AM

im pretty sure all invites sent, let me know if you received something!

simmode1 · 07-05-2011, 02:30 PM

Hey, I want in too... Can I get an invite?

Forte EXE · 07-05-2011, 03:21 PM

Can i get an Invite? =]

It looks like its going to be great. I remember when Gmail first came out and it still invite only. it was great.

SimpleS14 · 07-05-2011, 04:40 PM

I got nothing too :/

Daniel - I know this is way off topic, but how the heck can I remove music from Google Music without closing my beta trial?
