The old Google+ thread was a casuality of the Great Data Loss of 2011. Let's try this again. ;)

Not on Google+ yet?

  • Take the tour.
  • Though it's not open to the public at this time, there are already quite a few of us signed up. If you ask around, I'm sure you'll be able to score an invite. :D
(Keep in mind that, unlike Facebook, there is no option to have a "private" profile on Google+.)

Already signed up?

  • Share your URL below.
  • Let us know what you think about it. :)

I've got lots of invites. Let me know via PM if you want one.

That said, the easiest way I've seen to get someone on G+ is:

1. Add their email address to a Circle
2. Make a post
3. Share it with the person you want to get on G+

That's pretty much been my workaround. Google +'s biggest plus: my mother is not on it.

I've now added you all to my AW circle. I must admit, I really like it. More than anything, I'm pleasantly surprised that it's not really trying to be Facebook. It's taken what works and gone in its own direction.

I tried to sign up, but Google+ won't let me. All I get is a message that my browser isn't supported anymore. Which is funny considering my browser is Firefox 5.


Well there's your problem. Google+ is from the future and through what I consider to be an act of self-sabotage, Google has discontinued support for any browser below IE16 and Firefox 9. I'm sorry. Please check with your temporal IT staff and request a form to let them know you will be requesting a form.

Charlee, someone who is already on Google+ needs to send an invite to your email address. I'm sure one of the people here has a few spare invites going.

Ah, so that's it. Thanks.

This means I can take my time, though, doesn't it?

Moi. Now if you want to invite some people your good self, click on the google+ logo. That should take you to your 'stream'- this is where the news from people you follow lands. Nifty, eh?

To the right is an open envelope marked 'invite people to google+' click on it, fill in their email addresses and there you go. You get the option to add them to circles when you invite them- I add anyone from her to a circle I;ve named 'absolute write'.

I have a weird long Google+ URL just like everyone else:
https://plus.google.com/114600403373706855890

That 21 digit number should be enough for a Google+ page for every entity for the foreseeable future and for a while after that.

I posted THREE things today, including a brand-new mashup of Star Trek/TOS featuring a very well-performed musical score, and no one commented. :cry:
