There's another option missing:

I like it, prefer it to FaceBook, but won't switch until all my friends do.

I think the make or break of G+ is in mass migration of circles of friends (pun intended). Facebook takes enough time out of my life as it is. Managing 2 separate sets of 'social networks' seems a bit over the top to me.

You should add an option for those that haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. Some people, including me, just aren't that cool yet :)

Agreed. Count me in the "I'd like to have a chance to test it over Facebook" section ;-)

If you guys have gmail accounts I'll invite you.

I like it more than Facebook, except none of my real-life friends are on it.

Hopefully, Google will open it up soon. And not ruin it with games and other annoying applications.

I have an invite but they're not allowing anyone to sign up right now. It's been that way (for me) for almost a week now.

I'd like an invite if you have one. Gmail address in my profile.

Thanks

G+ will be popular with the tech set (and probably their freinds), but I can't see moms, dads, grand parents really switching to it. Nor can I see it becoming as popular until there are games, etc. For better or worse, the vast proportion of FBs users will not move over.

Take a look around, how many people still have yahoo, aol, and MSN email addresses? Yahoo still is a very popular destination for people (groups, etc).

I've gotten an invite through the real invite thing and the "tag trick", but i still get the "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon" message. I'm starting to think that google just doesn't love me.
