So, remember our experiment with Google Wave? That was awesome.
Wait, I think I used the wrong word. Hold on, let me look it up.
Terrible. It was absolutely terrible.
Anyway, Google+ seems like a Facebook-style website that doesn't go around selling your information at every turn, even if you remove that information. It's in super-secret private beta right now, and I got in. So... Who wants an invite? I need your email address for it.
Also, I have no idea how to use this. I don't do social networking, so I don't know what's going on.

I don't know if I got it, I too am bad at handling the social butterfly nets.
If you had a limited number of invites, and if one disappeared on my behalf, then it could just be bogged down in the series of tubes. Hopefully it will show up some time.

Well, hotmail isn't showing anything yet. Now that I think about it, this isn't the first invite that has been lost to a hotmail account for me. Balls...
If you still have some to spare, could you throw one at stephenlevioneil@gmail.com? If that one doesn't work then I don't think I want to deal with googles glitchy account systems more than I already do.

Google's account systems aren't that weird, I just don't know how to send invites. It's not like Gmail's invite system used to be. I don't have a limited number of invites, there's no invite button, nothing. I can just add email addresses to circles and share posts I make with people via email.

Just got this message:
– An important note about Field Trial – You're part of a small group of people who are helping to test Google+. When you share something with people who are not yet able to use Google+, they will receive it via email but won't be able to comment or engage with the content like other Google+ users. They'll be able to join Google+ as we let more users in over time.

I just invited Docs and Phev using two different methods. We'll see which one works.

I was actually commenting on the fact that I have at least two friends who have been locked out of their Youtube accounts for up to a month by some new Google account integration policy. It is supposed to be making their accounts easier to log into, ha.
Also, I got an invite on my hotmail now, but it is being a bit bitchy about making the account with it. I'll get back to you on that, but I may have broken it? Betas seem to hate me (and everyone else for that matter, can't we just skip the testing phase? That will solve this, right?).
Edit: Looks like making a new Gmail will fix it. It also looks like me sleeping before I try that will stop me from combo fucking-up, so if it does it will have in around fourteen hours.

Made a new Gmail, eventually got me cookies to go through properly, and managed to set up an account. Huh, the link in that email might not be one time use, I think I can make as many Google+ accounts as I can be bothered to deal with Google's stupid account registrations (the answer is half of one, it took way too long to get the cookies accepting).

I got the e-mail I was recently sent from Google+ but it is still saying they are currently full-to-capacity.

Here's what a friend of mine posted on facebook, "soooo FYI the only way to invite people is with a loophole and it dose not always work and can for some reason take upto like 6ish hours but thats how i got mine =]]"
So yeah, good luck.
I got your google+ e-mail about 24 hours after you said you sent in this topic faded. Really seems like the site is overcapacity right now.

Google finally gave me an actual "Invite people to Google+" button. I guess maybe I couldn't invite you guys before. Just sent out invites.

I'm already having trouble figuring out who some people are. I suggest we all mention a Steam name somewhere on your info page. For example, in the right column of your About page is a Links section, shove a link to your Steam profile, set it as "This page is specifically about me", and have that visible with whatever circle you use for MKWEA people.
Or, if you don't like having a link to your Steam Profile, there's an "Other Names" section near the bottom.

I really can't seem to work out how to get friends on this. The auto-list isn't filling and I can't locate the manual search. I'm assuming I could be searching by emails posted in this thread, right?
Oh, and when I eventually got it to work, I signed up with Phevnil@gmail.com, so if YOU know how to add people you can add me that way.

Okay, I'm finally adding people on Google+ (looks like doing nothing results in nothing, funny thing). I've got Faded, Bateman, TheChurch, and Fivealarm in a MKWEA circle; anyone else around here on and caring to share? This whole circle thing is confusing but interesting, I’m sure I’ll like it once I learn more about it. It would probably be a lot easier if we just linked to our pages like this. Does that link work? Edit: Oh, and Docsfox too, I'm guessing that is everyone on as of now?
