    Who has one? Better or worse than Facebook? Do you think it will overtake in the future? Someone invite me, and discuss!

    Got it.
    Love it.
    Better than Facebook.

    It's got a few bumps to overcome to be better than previous versions of Facebook, which were far easier to use than what it is now, but it's off to a good start. The interface is very, very clean and I'm a fan of both Circles and Hangouts. I actually deactivated my Facebook a week ago after a mental debate of whether or not I should even bother with it, but I'm liking Google+.

    Plus, I got into Pool Party as well which I prefer over Facebook's photo album stuff, and I'd honestly rather use these two separate networks than have them clustered into Facebook along with all the other crap Zuckerberg and his team have come up with to clog up Facebook.

    Why do you need an invite to get it? I never got that.

    And Facebook has never been easier to use than now. People just hate change and can't adapt.

    It's still in beta mode. Their getting all of the kinks out before it goes completely public (though i basically already is now lol).

    And for me, I don't hate Facebook, but I certainly think G+ is much, much better.

    Could someone shoot me an invite? idk if its email but mine is [email protected]

    And I agree facebook is pretty easy to use, I really don't see how it could be any easier.

    1) You have to have a Gmail account

    2) No one said Facebook wasn't easy to use. It just lacks the control that Google+ has.

    I dis-activated my Facebook shortly after I got Google+, but then I reactivated it because there was this thing where you had to go to Facebook to download something.

    One thing, Google+ has public pages that are truly public. You don't have to log-in to see the profile, on Facebook, I always seem to have to log-in even when it is a public page. Which sucks because I'd prefer to not use Facebook.

    Anyway, I dis-activated it again a couple days ago.

    I've been on it since early July. I'd call it twitter with all of facebook's features, which is cool.
    Funnily enough, my core friends are mostly on it *thumbs nose at people saying friends won't move over*

    All it needs it time to develop all the features its needs, and it will be competing with facebook. By the way, even if you don't like G+, the competition will make facebook improve themselves (like their recent Skype announcement).

    @travs: they already had one incident where Google+ ran out of disk space for notifications during Beta. This is why you scale up slowly.

    It's good, but because 99% of my mates don't have it I find it quite boring ATM, but I think once it goes into full swing it shall be the new king.

    *deactivated

    Also, you can set everything in your profile to private, so the only thing that can be seen is your name. Which is about as far into a Facebook page you can get if your privacy is set correctly.

    Same. It took me forever to get used to it.
