What are your opinions on it?

If you don't know what it is, it's Google's upcoming social networking site.

It's in Beta right now so you need an invite. If you want an invite mention it. Idk if I have any left though.

My opinion: I don't see anything special about it. Facebook is enough for me.

Although the video chat features have potential.

I've yet to use it, but looked at reviews, screnshots, video overviews, and I can say...that it's worse than Facebook. I like the layout of it better, and it looks like more people may even use it over time, but it's not secure enough for me.

Facebook has access to my profile info, so does Google+. But I'm seeing a lot of how Google+ pulls your search history, and your e-mail history to provide you with "better service", or more ads. I don't feel comfortable with that, and probably won't be on Google+ any time soon just because of it. Hope it does well and makes some changes, though.

Wait, Google is making a social networking place?? Its gonna fail. Look at Youtube, it turned awful, ad after ad after ad. Plus my playlist on there keeps messing up. I have to find a new video of the song to put on my playlist cause of the stupid WME or something like tht keeps deleting my songs.

i liked myspace because of how much you can customize it, facebook pretty much got rid of all of that, now it's like a big chatroom. i'm sure this'll be everything i don't like about facebook, so i'll pass unless i hear otherwise

Doubt it's going to fail, but don't know if it's going to be as big as FB


Google Plus members exploding, new members growth more than 350% in less than a week, and could attract 10 million more to login by weekend.

Google Plus, the much talked about social networking site of the Old Mountain View, California based search engine mammoth Google, could acquire at least 20 million users by the weekend. According to a public post (in Google+) by Ancestry.com founder Paul Allen, he has discovered using his “technique” that Google Plus members could double by Sunday.

According to Allen, Google is now serving 7.3 million Google Plus users as of July 10, and that number were gobbled by the new social networking site just by “invitation by email” process only. Imagine the multiplication that could happen once Google opened the Google Plus registration doors wide open, that’s insane.

Allen is also predicting that the number he obtained by calculating American surnames revealed that 2.2 million people have joined Google+ in the past 32-34 hours, or 2.2 million new internet users have joined Google Plus in lest than 2 days by receiving invites from friends and relatives, or asking for invites in Facebook and Twitter, and other social networking site. It’s worth noting that last week, some opportunists also sold Google Plus invites in eBay.

Allen’s note is also suggesting that as of today, Google Plus members worldwide already reached 10 million, and Google Plus team will enjoy a 20 million Google Plus members by weekend.
