susandennisI got up early to get some work done before I left. But, I got snagged by Google + instead. If I were not leaving for most of the day, most of the day would be sucked in by this new toy anyway. I loved it when I first saw it and the more time I spend with it, the move I love it.
Initially, it seems so way better than twitter in so many ways. Of course, facebook was an option I rejected as quickly as I embraced this. It will not replace journaling for me but will add to it. And, hopefully, integration will be coming soon.
The interface is beautiful. The filtering is intuitive and perfect. The Android app is great and has a nice entry widget.
My only issue is that I don't have time to play with it now. I MUST get back to work NOW.
Find me, if you are playing with it susandenns @ gamil.com. Right now there it appears that I can invited anyone but that feature seems to come and go. If you want an invite, let me know and if the button's there, I'll 'do' you. (NOTE: I need your email address to extend an invite - so leav it in comments or send me an email with what address you want me to use.)

As the article says, there are NO invites now. So sorry. I have added and will add all of the requests I get with email addresses. They are added in as 'email only' for now. When invites become available, I'll click the invite button for each and every one. I promise.
I sent invites to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
machupicchu, seattlejo, bill_schubert last night when I was clueless about what I was doing - I figured that they could deal if adding them turned out to be fucked up. Seems like it actually turned out to be nothing... So far. But they should be on the lookout just in case.

I didn't even know Google + existed until you mentioned it, but I'm interested -- whenever the button returns for you, of course!

Sounds like demand is exceeding supply! That gets my hopes up.
Another post on my friends list contained the suggestion that it could replace Facebook, which, although I haven't looked at it yet, I kind of doubt will happen. (On the flip side, the response I'm seeing suggests it won't be the broad flop that Google Buzz was.) And I don't say this with relish at all -- honestly, if everyone I'm connected to online exclusively via Facebook jumped to Google + (assuming there are indeed the similarities that have been suggested), I probably would happily do so as well.
I'm intrigued by your comparison to Twitter and how it's better. It's so hard to imagine an improvement on the Twitter model.

I'll leave you alone to work now! (I'm watching you type on your laptop and glance at your big monitor. *waves*)

Date: 2011-07-01 07:46 pm (UTC)Either way...cool. I was totally disinterested in this but you and a couple other folks writing about it have upped my enthusiasm and curiosity considerably!
