I've been hearing nothing but good things about Google+. I love all things Google; gmail and the calendar have been a godsend this past year.
If anyone has any spare invites...please and thank you?

I'm in there, but that's about it. I'm kind of waiting to see how things play out after reading this: 5 Reasons Google+ Is A Privacy Accident (Disaster?) Waiting to Happen.

My one major reason for wanting G+ to work is that FB is banned by the PTB where I live, and I was hoping G+ wouldn't be. It was on day one though, and still remains banned. I use a VPN, but it's annoying on my mobile devices. Originally Posted by pilgrimsoul
Google+'s mobile settings work fine on my iPad. No issues at all. I'd rather them have an app than a website though, but I am sure it will come.

Interesting about the following. I like the request and rejection option on FB, and never thought about it not being on Google+. Originally Posted by Prancer

That's what jumped out to me too - and will keep me off it. Thanks for sharing the article, Prancer. Originally Posted by Angelskates

I think people using any free (or even some not free) websites/applications/services/etc. are deluding themselves if they think their privacy means anything. Those providing the product have to make their money somehow and it's usually by selling your info. Originally Posted by Prancer

I don't care about Google+ or Facebook (and previously MySpace) as social networking websites don't appeal to me. I think Facebook's privacy is ridiculous, I don't expect Google+ to be any better.

Bumping this up. Just started with google+. Seems a pretty calm place. Not much for distractions.
Ah, FSU! Where thread drift comes to play.
