Annoyed that people with a Google Apps account can't join google+, when trying to join the error message is: "Oops... you need a Google profile to use this feature." "Google Profiles is not available for your organization." This is apparently something that Google has been promising for a while now, I also recently went through the pain of migrating my domain over to supposedly link up to Google Profile, but it's sti…

looks like google is working on this. i think it makes sense to roll this out to consumers first and harden it for businesses.

I just was able to invite 2 family members, 2 friends, and several people who posted on my blog asking me how to get invites. I am out of invites now. I invited people who I thought would really use it. I must say that Google+ is very well done. I enjoy it every day. BTW, a little off topic, but I have blasted Google on several occasions about dropping Google Wave. Turns out I complained for nothing: the latest Wave…

I'm glad to hear that Wave is doing well. I thought about grabbing it and trying it just to see how it was doing and maybe contributing, but just never had the time. It makes me happy that it has a real chance of survival.

Andrew, give it a try - as I said, really easy to setup. I am thinking of installing it on one of my customers' LAN for their private use.

hmm I don't see a invite link to send invites out.. where is it?

It was in the right hand corner under the "go mobile" section. However it only lasted about thirty minutes.

Lasted about 3 hours for me. Invited a bunch of new people, was awesome.

And it's off again. Google has removed the "send invites" features again. They are controlling the supply so as to create demand.

He wrote that they wanted to double the size of the field-trial. Pretty impressive how fast that happened. When they launch for real, adoption rate will be crazy, at least for a few days.

And it's already closed. Honestly, what's with this stupid game?

https://plus.google.com/113882113745075873153/posts?tab=XX not sure if you need an acct to read the post: Hey Google+ folks! As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites. As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Seco…

Don't use real users as testers, jeesh... Maybe google should invest in some QA.

Yep, it's pretty great. We use it internally and it's pretty fantastic. Curious what XMPP platform you all went with, this was the most difficult part to implement for us and was a little tedious waiting for the CAs to accept the certificates and have it all propagate and everything. We're using Prosody which does have its quirks but maybe there's something better out there.
