saw this on mobilesyrup.com (http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/06/29/can-googles-plus-take-on-facebook/) :rofl: who joined?
NEW!! :jphip: finally an official page lol
http://plus.google.com/112762049675677728153/
Google announced their newest social layer yesterday, after the failure of Buzz led them to re-examine what people want, and how they use the web. Plus, or +, which will inevitably lead to naming frustration, combines four facets: Circles, Sparks, Hangouts and Huddles, each supposed to make it easy to share, interact and ultimately categorize your friends.

Been looking for an invite for this. Gotta start a jphip circle once we sign up
-
Although I have an invitation they won't let me create an account at the moment :smhid
They're over capacity~
I'm not too fond of social networks and don't have a fb or similar account but googles new approach looks interesting with those circles
-
If anyone has an invite, send it my way! xD; I'd love to give this a go.
NRK (Norwegian news) posted a little workaround on how to trick the system into letting you in, worth giving a go?
If you're already on Google+, make a photo album and share it with someone who isn't on Google+. This will send an e-mail with a link to the album, and on the album page there'll be a link to sign up for Google+.
They might have fixed this workaround by now, but it's worth trying out!
My gmail is tofumctwiss @ gmail . com 8D
-
shit wow. the invite thing is the hot topic fo realz. I just saw it on Sexy Beam's FB - lol tried to PM to get an invite, will spread the good word :jphip:
-
Got my account now :O2
Is it working for everyone now? If not I can try to invite people but I think invites don't help much actually (I had one for 6 days and just now it worked)
-
I was able to join now too! They're probably just gradually expanding the numbers of test users, because it's still in limited Field Trial.
Anyway, I made an account! Who else is in? Post your info, I'm definitely making a JPH!P circle 8D
This should be the link to my profile, but I'm not quite sure how it works :] https://profiles.google.com/u/0/102108623697956241613 I guess you can always search for my gmail which is tofumctwiss
-
^ added you to my jphip circle in case you didn't notice :D
-
^
Ah, it was you~~~ I see! xD; Cool beans, I'll add you right back.
-
Hangout is better than I imagined @_@! I've only been able to test it with one other person so far, but up to 10 people can be in the same hangout. Hello potentially awesome JPH!P hangouts~ :DD
This is what it looks like;
YOU CAN WATCH YOUTUBE TOGETHER, AND EVERYONE GETS TO PICK VIDEOS~~~!

-
Interesting, slimmed down concept. Easy enough to grasp. Not really sure if it's possible to search for contacts you already know IRL but I suppose that'll work itself out when the service goes totally public.
-
You can search for people by their e-mail address or by their full name. I think it also might be possible to sync your contact list, if you have a contact list set up for your Google account. :]
Anyway, I just discovered that I have invites, and they work! (at least at the moment). Let me know if you want one!
-
Yup slowly getting there: added some peeps I've met IRL and even a couple baseball bloggers I follow online. Piece of cake: easier than Faceybooky.
-
Its still a bit empty :(

Just click "Invite people to join Google+" on the mainpage (http://dailyasiatalk.pytalhost.de/Smileys/classic/mihiro_happy.png)
And how can I disable this window? It always opens when I open the mainpage (http://dailyasiatalk.pytalhost.de/Smileys/classic/n-reaction.png)

Feel free to add me http://gplus.to/jaysonalmenana (http://gplus.to/jaysonalmenana)
And if you still haven't gotten an invite let me know.
-

The site is in a limited field trial. There'll be a few bugs here and there. Just have patience. They seem to have sorted that particular thing out now, I'm not getting the pop-up anymore.
-
yeah, its gone now
GooglePlusTweet Google+ by twiss
Google+ is now open to anyone with a Google account. plus.google.com and sign up! #GooglePlus

nope you still need an invite.
-
Dope! I just got invited by MochaNutz :jphip: haven't played with it much yet so dunno how to link my profile yet lol...but used my jphip88@gmail.com account
randomly invited random HiPstaz - we got unlimited invites?
-
nope you still need an invite.
Lol I was retweeting an official tweet from Google+, but whatever. Invites work.
Unlimited invites, but they're only given out at certain times and the people who're invited need to use them before the sign-up period closes back down again. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I don't know. That's how it seems to be going down.
Daigong, I can't find you. Just go to your profile, to the About section and copy the url~ Alternatively go to http://gplus.to/ (http://gplus.to/) and set up a nick to make an easy to remember url.
-
ahhhhh http://gplus.to/daigong (http://gplus.to/daigong) thanks! been trying to add u too twiss XD but add me!
So we made a JPH!P Group? looks like its just your personal Circle :fap xD
-
Awesome, I found you now :]
Yeah, there are no groups or Pages or anything like that. At least not yet, but frankly I hope they won't add a feature for it.
What we COULD do, is to try and have a bunch of people meet up in the Hangout feature :D
-
I LIKE IT
Tested the Hangout feature yesterday (with one person), worked well enough. It's nice that they let you watch YouTube junk (in that window) while waiting for other people to join.
Are Sparks useless, or am I just not seeing their full potential?
Circle me, baby: gplus.to/amishamplifier (http://gplus.to/amishamplifier)
-
I thought "Sparks" could be a way to develop new communities or hookup with like-minded otaku, etc. Instead I'm presented with a mere list of Google-generated links.
If there's a way to connect via common interest(s) in G+ I haven't found it.
-
Sparks is just a way to search up articles on topics you are interested in, and then easily share it with your circles. I agree it's a pretty useless feature so far (like an RSS feed you have no interest in really following, since it just collects things from random sources that may or may not be relevant to your interests). So.. yeah, I don't know about that one. It might be more useful in the future, depends on how they develop it and what kind of feedback people give on it.
By the way, Google+ has a massive user edited Google Docs document filled with tips and tricks, dos and don'ts and other helpful things :D It's also interesting to browse the discussion/help section (http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/learnmore/forum/) and see what people generally like and don't like about the project so far.

Google+ runs out of disk space, floods inboxes with notification spam
If you're one of the lucky ones who landed themselves a Google+ account, you might have felt a little less fortunate when your inbox was bombarded by repeated notifications. Vic Gundotra, the Goog's social mastermind, took to the fledgling service to apologize and explain what happened. Turns out the servers in charge of tracking notifications ran out of disk space for about 80 minutes -- causing them to repeatedly send and resend the same messages. In his Plus posting Gundotra admitted, "we didn't expect to hit these high thresholds so quickly, but we should have." Sure, it may have been annoying to get 17 alerts that your old college roommate added you to his circles, but we've got to give credit to Vic for owning this mini fail. The company better hope it can scale up capacity quick -- Google+ invites are still a hot property and it's got a lot of growing to do before it can truly compete with the likes of Facebook.

Google+ listens to their users and makes it possible to hide your gender if you don't want to define yourself to the world
July 12, 2011 - Google+ Update (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wzsHdwmuxE#ws)
(of all the things to bitch and moan about, I think this is the least important, but hey whatever. *is still openly a girl on the internet* gasp, oh my).
Also, let's compile a list of interesting people to follow! We all know there's plenty of fun people to follow on twitter, but who to follow on G+? To be honest, I currently just know of one person. Wil Wheaton (https://plus.google.com/108176814619778619437/). I've been following him on twitter for ages, and his posts are always fun and geeky. He seems to carry that on over to G+, which is awesome.
So anyone else follow anyone interesting? It doesn't have to be celebrities, just.. people worth following! :D My Following circle is empty and sad xD;
-
i'd so date her :heart: ...just getting the hang of this (maybe) lol circle jerking all over the place! dope cheat sheet! I shall study :pimp:
I made an official :hipheart: profile so we can easily find each other, invite others and HANG OUT! Let's do it this Saturday?!?!?!

sure! just give me your email to send the invite out.
Also if you have a gmail or google account already, if you go to plus.google.com you should be able to sign up

Eat dung facebook, google+ here I come!!! XD

I've got invites if anyone wants one.

Are you guys still using G+? I tried it out - seems pretty slick, but only a couple of my friends post on it =X

I don't social media much cuz I'm on jphip so much but damn, Google better get they shit together
-
Think FB's popularity still wins out. Even without sending invites to get access, not much people are willing to switch over. I got an account when the invites started and for the first couple days, people tried posting. Now only 1 person still is doing it.

Google+ has new features!
Hashtags! "What's popular now?"! Ripples! Photo editing!
What’s Hot on Google+: see what everyone’s talking about
Google+ users share and receive billions of items every day—on a wide range of topics, in nearly every country. Circles give you a personal lens on all this activity, helping you focus on updates from your family or your favorite celebrities. But sometimes you want to know what the world is so excited about. Whether it’s breaking news or beautiful photos, you just don’t want to miss anything. With this in mind, we’re launching “What’s Hot” on Google+, a new place to visit for interesting and unexpected content.
Google+ Ripples: watch how posts get shared
There’s something deeply satisfying about sharing on Google+, then watching the activity unfold. Comments pour in, notifications light up, friends share with friends (who share with their friends), and in no time at all there’s an entire community around your post. We want to help people re-live those conversations—both to rekindle that initial excitement, and to learn how posts flow across the network. That’s why we’re launching Google+ Ripples: a visualization tool for public shares and comments.
To get started, just find a public post that interests you, and select “View Ripples.” From there you can replay its activity, zoom in on certain events, identify top contributors and much more. Google+ Ripples is still experimental, so let us know how we can make it more informative and more awesome
Google+ Creative Kit: have more fun with your photos
Nothing tells a story like the perfect picture, so it’s only natural to want to make yours really, really, really, ridiculously good-looking. Unfortunately, photo editing is too often a chore, requiring specialized software and lots of patience. We want to help everyone put their best photo forward, so today we’re introducing the Google+ Creative Kit, a fast and friendly way to make powerful edits to your photos.
Now you can add that vintage feel to your vacation photos. Or sharpen those snapshots from the family barbeque. Or add some text for added personality. With the Creative Kit, all you need is an idea
They're even doing a HALLOWEEN EVENT to celebrate the introduction of photo editing on G+. I was surprised at how well it worked and how much fun it was to play around with. You can participate in the event by editing a photo making use of the special Halloween effects in the Creative Kit, sharing your creation in a public post with the hashtag #gplushalloween .
Read the whole story and watch nifty tutorials over at the Google blog.

Don't know if other ppl are experiencing this.
Lately I've got What's Hot posts all between my normal posts. So I went and tried finding an Adblock Plus filter like I always do. :P
Instead, I found you can just press the What's Hot option on the left-bar.
Then in the What's Hot section, move the slider to the furthest-left to show 0 posts in the future. Problem solved. :thumbup
