The next step is standardizing a protocol for inter-social-network communication. Open flow between Google+, Facebook and other small compatible networks and standalone clients :) I hope Google will do the right thing, like they sometimes do. They certainly have the position to do it, and they would be appreciated for that.

Google+ has the same buzz and expectation which was associated with gmail when it was first launched (with respect to scarcity of invites). I am based in India (not sure how location matters) and I remember I had to wait a few weeks for someone to invite me to gmail. If that is some indication, then Google+ looks to be a winner. (I remember how I moved from Yahoo! and Hotmail email to gmail after I finally got the in…

It has the same buzz and expectation as Google Wave too. I can control my anticipation.

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

You just need to enable multiple sign on for your Google Apps account and regular account.

It'd be much more useful if they'd integrated it with Apps accounts prior to launch. Apps customers still can't create Profiles, never got to use Buzz etc etc, despite being promised Profiles 'in a few weeks' back in March.

Seriously? That's a killer for me then.

I'd have to get a new email out there for people to add. Just to use a new social platform from Google. Because I'm using Google's email-plkatform. This doesn't make any fucking sense. As usual I might add.

Google really loves to shit on its premium customers, the ones who actually pays them money for the products they are using. At some point I was surprised to learn this, but I guess over time it's natural to get a bit jaded.

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. Now, like most people say, Facebook has all these settings to share stuff with the people you want to share with, but my problem is that the whole security settings thing is a MESS! 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.

If you have an invite left feel free to send me one ;0

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…

Have you ever clicked the little padlock next to the Share input widget? You can choose between Everyone, Friends of Friends, Friends only, or Customize. If you choose the last one, you can select groups of friends or individual friends, or everyone except a list of excluded friends. Facebook has gotten pretty complicated...
