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. EDIT: HN usability fail navigation Tip #97: The email field in your profile is invisible to others. Put your email in the About field so that others can see it.

Thanks for the offer. I'd like to try out g+ if you have any invites left.

I thought invites for new members were closed for the time being?

I know people who have received invites, so it must still be working, even if only occasionally.

Don't know why, but FaceBook just looks weird (as opposed to Facebook)

Needs a "who cares!?" option.

Oh there is. You don't click on the link. Which is pretty much the opposite of what you did. So presumably you're asking for such an option for "a friend." ;)

That's not the same thing at all. Taking the time to provide information that you've read the question, considered the options, and specifically want to say that you don't care about Google+ is different from not reading the item, or not considering the options, or deciding not to provide information.

I, for one, sometimes choose to share information even about topics in which I have no interest. Why? Because I think information is of value, and I will provide it to a community in which I have an interest. It's the community I care about, not the topic.

I'm in the same boat because I have a Google Apps account, so Google Profiles (and thus Google+) isn't available to me (yet?).

I always feed like a second class citizen with my google apps account.

There's nothing stopping you from having both.

With a decent IMAP or exchange client, you can easily browse multiple mailboxes. In fact, multiple emails is probably the best reason to use a non-browser app for email.
