Ditto.

It seems pretty cool but of course I only know about 6 people who are on it. :lol: My "Interesting and Famous" circle currently includes only one person, Ryan Tatusko, because I'm totally at a loss as to what famous people's names to put in the search box.

I'll be interested to try the photo gallery function, but really, it seems a bit of a nuisance to start all over doing the things I already do with Facebook and Twitter. Currently my "stream" is nothing but people adding new profile pictures. :lol:

I can't advise the means I used, as it involves beguiling a female with an invite to spare.*

I don't think you can invite people anymore.  It was open for a few hours and they shut it down again.

You want to circle me? I don't think we know each other well enough to be circling each other. :az:

I'm keeping my G+ to family and close friends atm. I'll add you when I start adding people I know online. Nothing personal. :P

Obviously, but I'm saying the people that do have it, aren't really actually trying it out. Don't beg me to invite you and then not use it, haha

Agreed. I got everything setup and I can't wait till the App is released for the iOS. It's was submitted a few days ago and it's up to Apple now to approve it. G+ will be replacing FB for me.
