Google takes on Facebook

Don't they do that with most things they do? Remember when Gmail was invites only? I do see your point though.

Yes, they did with GMail (I traded Habbo items for an invitation back then!) - The whole point of a social network is to add friends and be sociable, so it's kind of hard when you're limited when it comes to who you can add and socialize with in my opinion. I still really love the user interface though, and plan on continuing using it.

If there had been desktop applications for Wave I think I would have liked it better (or maybe there was and I wasn't aware).

There was going to be, at the launch they had a really cool CLI interface for it, but they never got round to adding "Federating" to the service so it couldn't happen.

Hello,

I am looking for a invite for Google Plus. It looks really good and it's making me mad! It would be great if someone could invite me. (H)

Registration is closed, even with an invitation. You'll have to wait until they open it again.

It looks like a business version of Facebook from the Youtube video I watched..

Looks promising but you never know eh?

They may be closed but can still get around it

I've heard about this. It looks great, but it dont think it will be competition.

It's gonna take a lot to match up to facebook, but then again this is google we're talking about.

Yeah I agree, it would take a lot to win against Facebook, although it's Google a very popular used site.

I've been playing around with Google+ and I really think it will pick up and gain users. I can see it rivalling Facebook, maybe not overtake Facebook in terms of active users but it will rival them not far behind.
