    I’m really looking forward to a Facebook alternative and getting the chance to try out Google’s new app for this!

    Hello

    Does anyone know how we get an invite

    So many of the folks I know are on Facebook and most of them don’t trust it but have nowhere to go. Hopefully Google+ will give us all an alternative.

    I’m telling all of my imaginary friends on Google Wave and Google Buzz about this! We always hangout at Google hotpots.

    While you wait for your invites, have a look at this video of instant photo upload from Android to Chrome: http://youtu.be/ReyjEBUsnEo – available now and faster than Google+ !

    I think it looks awesome, can’t wait to get an invite. The hard part will be getting others to switch from Facebook, most of the people I know probably wouldn’t.

    Really? This is already late and they’re doing “Private Invites” for testing? Seriously Google. Are you really that dumb? You’re already left behind!

      Google had social website before or damned near Facebook and Myspace.  Remember Okrut?

    Fail.  This app looks like garbage.

    Why does often Android Market says me that some applications are not available for my phone or for my country? I always install them if I get some direct link to their .apk installers.

    I for one welcome this…in case anybody missed it, fb sucks ballz and their android application is pitiful.

  • Macaso

    Does anybody has a problem with multiple account sign on using the android app? I have two accounts on my device but Google+ only gives me the choice of the first account on the phone list…
