if anyone else wants an invite let me know.

its pretty cool, the only real setback so far being the amount of my friends that are on it.

I mean I get that it's basically a dummied down Facebook, but what else is there to it? I have a BB so I don't have an app for it.

For one, selective status posts. The +1 (NOT just a like button, which people seem to think it is). But the circles feature is by far the best and advanced thing, imo. Ability to select who sees your posts is awesome.

Agreed. Just finally getting started, but the managing of your posts and circles already makes me like it better than FaceBook.

Anyone upload pictures? I did some last night too see what it was like. You literally just drag and drop them from your harddrive to the Google+ area. awesome and easy as fuck.

Yes, see my latest post. I take photos with my phone and they are automatically uploaded and set to private. I can then share whatever I want.

I just looked around on Google + seriously for the first time since I got it. I like it but I needs people to add.

For me thats the only thing missing. I just set up some sparks, which is another awesome feature. Basically, you type in anything into the Sparks, and it constantly brings up the hits to your stream. Kind of a short way to type it into Google news search engine everytime. I really like that.

If they did, it'd be last on the totem pole since BB is dying a well-deserved death.
