who else has tried it? pretty average at the mo, but i think it has the potential to be huge. Love the whole circles things, finally its an easier way to stop my noisy relatives about knowing all aspects of my life, like they can on fb. and i can stop annoying other firends with my constant music updates.

looking forward to the demise of facebook :4:

i want in. the early stages of facebook and myspace were the best stages of them; if google can do something similarly revolutionary in social networking im all for it

they're over capacity, so even people with invites can't get in at the moment...

the terminology is so weird to me... sending messages is "huddling"? -w- wat

It's good FB is getting competition. Shame it's from Google though, but I suppose they do seem marginally more ethical than Facebook.

In all fairness though, Facebook has tools for that too. Just make lists, put the right people in it, and then you can specify content to be only visible to people from certain lists.

I want to try Google+ too once, but from what I've heard up until now, it's just Facebook clone but with other terminology.

No one is going to say, "Google plus me" or "look me up on google" etc.

No, they will say "G-plus me" or "Gooplus me", or maybe "Glupus me"
