A quick note on Google+

Lots and lots of the people I normally get all with trying out a new web feature have had emails to Google+ and are having fin getting it working.

I haven't had an invite yet.

It looks cool. Nothing groundbreaking, but some substantially well through through UI tweaks to existing ideas (Dreamwidth users are probably pointing at the "Circles" idea and going "ours" quite a bit, whereas G+ is laughing at the management interface...)

So, y'know, if anyone has a spare invite kicking around ;-)

ETA: I know have an account, and it is good-never actually received an invite, I just got in via a link, weird.

I followed a third party suggestion for inviting people. Apparently, you should get an invite in the next half hour or so.

OMG - indeed yes - exactly. That was my first thought the second I saw it! Too bad [staff profile] denise can't collect royalties for this website giving them the idea - I'm sure it did.

Oh and (edit) if I get an invite I'll be sure to pass it your way. :)

An open rant to the developers

There was going to be a considered response to the points raised in the original post, and those developed in comments. Then it grew into a post of its own. Here's a precis: You at G****e live in your machines, and you are moulding human activity to fit your algorithms. This is holding humanity back.

Are Circles that different from, say, LJ's friends lists? Or even the friends filtering you can do on FB?

I haven't invited anyone...so I presumably have some left? I've never done this before, but I'll try to figure it out if you'd like an invite XD
