Google+
 

Has anyone signed up yet and gained access? How is it? Do you like it? Got an extra invite?

I requested an invite out of curiosity, but I haven't received it yet. Can't say I'm expecting too much from it (and I don't know if I'm willing to invest in another social platform anyways), but I guess we'll see.

I already use GMail a lot so I can see myself using it as part of that, but I am not sure how many of my facebook friends will make a switch, I know my grandma probably wouldn't want to learn something new... :P

i don't think i'll do so. i don't use Facebook or Twitter so i'm not much into the whole "Social Network" thing

I thinks it's schenanigans like Microsoft did when they brought Bing online.

I tend to be behind the times. I'm just now discovering how Twitter works (though I don't have an account). And the thought of reading an article about "I'm on Facebook, so it's over", in terms of a potential shark jump bothers me. Hopefully, this won't kill these services. But which is better, Google+ or Facebook/Twitter?

I have Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ accounts.... I like Google+ because you can choose to send messages to either whole groups of people or just one individual (altho Facebook is now slowly getting on that bandwagon...and failing). The one individual will only see what you set to post to them.

Google+ recently added some games (Angry Birds anyone?) and unlike Facebook they don't clutter up your "wall"

As for which one is better. It depends on your tastes but I like Google+ cuz it's more personal and chatting with celebs (Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, and Bill Shatner are among the many celebs who are on there) is cooler. :D
