Anyone else have Google Plus? So far, I'm still just trying to get a feel for it. I do like the fact that it doesn't have all the ads like Facebook, etc. does. What do you think?

not impressed thus far. Can't get on because it's still in testing and all the invites aren't being honored.

It has a ways to go. The circle thing is not complete yet and it needs the ability to get only messages with specific tags into your stream.

But it is nice and clean. None of that useless farmville junk and spam that you get on facebook.

I have it but don't use it. I'll be a very pleased it it ousts Facebook as the leading social network, though.

I have it, but it's kind of boring. The only reason I'm on Facebook is for the games, so without those, social networking can get lost. :lol:

Ha. Which games do you play? Facebook used to be semi decent when there was a tab dedicated to applications and stuff. Now there's zero personalization of your page.

Farmville and Cafe World. I blame my food obsession. :oops:
I must not have been on Facebook then. It would be ideal if they separated the application stuff out of the main feed. I only post game stuff to my list of people who want it, but it would be nice to be able to view only non-game posts but still be able to access game posts if you wanted to.

It seems that all the invitations I have sent have worked.

Why would I go on it? None of my close friends are on it. And that's what it's for.

I like it. I like that it doesn't have all the stupid Facebook games. :P It is nice, simple, and uncluttered; relatively aesthetically pleasing.

Likewise. I haven't heard of this problem.
