Maybe add an option for "haven't got an invite yet" update: got one :)

Whats your email id.

How about instead of having people post emails, someone (who can invite) give us an email where we can ask him in private ?

Strange that googlers haven't properly discovered HN yet.. would of been nice to spread some invites to the HN crowd.

Does Hacker News have a black bar at the top because of Google+?

(The same thing happened to my Google today: the top bar turned black.)

I find I miss the simplicity of Facebook to a degree. With plus, it's not really clear who I'm sharing what with at any given time, or what the relationships I've set up are. Facebook has one kind of relationship (1-1) and one kind of sharing (to your friends or to everybody, depending on how your security settings are configured). It's also missing a number of essential (at least for college students) facebook featu…

Facebook is simple?

Personally any Google service that requires me to completely log out of my Google Apps account to use is no good to me.

I feel hangout is gonna be the dark horse feature. Imagine coming back from a hard day's work, logging in to plus, and finding 3 of your best friends hanging out over a beer ;)

While hangout does sound, I think people will still prefer to actually "hangout" with their buddies over beer than watching their buddies drinking beer over g+.....

Looks like a mashup up of all existing google tools flavored with the tone of Social Networking...perhaps the only leverage it has is its Circle feature and Hangout...curious to see how it ll go....

From what I can see (From demos, no invite yet, got one? :( ) Google got alot of things right that Facebook got wrong. Mostly concerning privacy and sharing.

If google can do that right, while providing a better android app than FB does,…

Can't invite you w/o contact information. Add an email to your bio.

I'd appreciate an invite as well! gammons at gmail. Thanks in advance.
