Am I the only one finding this whole thing fairly uninteresting? It's not like if it was a brand new, revolutionary service. Now I'm not knocking off Google Plus, but it is just a Facebook clone, perhaps better, but all this buzz around how invites are limited and everyone wants to get in seems like an attention grabber more than anything else.

People are always looking for the next "new thing" and of course want options as well imo.

I'm curious, what's with the cruddy URLs? For eg: https://plus.google.com/113882113745075873153 Why the gargantuan number? Yeah, it's in trial, but still..

It's been used by googlers for more than a year already, so that's probably why the number is so high.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I dunno, it seems crazy that Google constantly treats their paying customers like second-class citizens.

Agreed, the people that have their vanity domains backed by Google Apps are the hard core user base with lots of influence over other people. The kind of taste-makers that google desperately wants to get on Google+.

Yeah. The company that should really be freaked out right now is Yammer.

Google really needs to get their shit together and let anybody in. Facebook does it, and Google will loose unless we can migrate our entire social graph.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of entering my true birthdate when creating my Google account. I'm under 18, and Google currently is not allowing minors to use G+. I'm disappointed, but I'm not upset enough to create another account...Hopefully Google will welcome innocent and vulnerable 17.5-year-olds like me into the Plus fold reasonably soon.
