Nathan Bransford - The Forums

Have you tried Google+ yet? I was fortunate enough to get an invite on launch day, and I immediately enjoyed it a lot. I was curious though whether and how quickly it would catch on. Now all of a sudden virtually everyone I know is on it!

What do you think of it? Think you're going to switch away from Facebook?

Thanks, Nathan, and wow, great interview with Dan Blank!

I got an invitation some time ago, but haven't had the time to properly explore it, which leads me to believe I might not have the time to properly utilize it.

I haven't gotten into it too much yet, but I like what I've seen so far. I loathe Facebook, and Google+ seems to have all the stuff I like about Facebook without all the annoying stuff I hate. I will be keeping a keen eye on their privacy decisions, since that was a big turn off for me from FB. I look forward to seeing what happens.

What I really need, really really really need, is a one stop shop where we can monitor all our social networking sites at one place. I want a page where I can read my feed reader, my Twitter account, my Google+ account etc etc. I would like Santa to bring me that for Christmas.

I like it so far. The ability to have different circles seems promising. I like how notifications show up on my Gmail and Google Reader pages.

I was never a heavy Facebook user, though, so I'm probably less attuned to the potential downsides...

Haven't been invited yet, and they're still 'testing' so I can't sign up. But I'd like to try it and see what I think.

I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but I'm definitely still feeling it out. Like Sommer, I want to watch the privacy stuff and see how that goes. I do really like the idea of Circles, though. They integrated some of the usability of Twitter with the "feel" of Facebook.

I just sent you an invite if you want to check it out.

Where did you send it?

To an email address I got from your blog. I can send it somewhere else, if needed. It has to be sent via email, though.

Hmmm....I didn't get it. Maybe try it again? But I don't want to pester you for it.

Ok, I tried sending it again. Maybe it only works if you've set up a Google account?

Ok, well I didn't get an e-mail invite, but on a hunch I went to try to sign up again, and I can now! I'll have to friend you guys.

I'm still learning with Google+, but really liking the feel of it so far. I'm loving the idea of Circles. I've already added a writers cirlce to throw people into.

Glad you made it!

How do you like it so far?
