Mc Love Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Couldnt get on and someone sent me an invite last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biddy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 yeah, I still can't get on. I just get a box telling me its still a limited trail and "Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon". They need to open the doors soon or people will get bored waiting. I've already seen journos stating the the novelty soon wears off especially as none of their friends have accounts so theres nothing much to do.

ABBEY Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Google + ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc Love Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Google plus the new facebook but better - i really want to try it, but fear the novely will wear off when I wont have anything to share with anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 The geek community seems to be loving the granular sharing aspects of it. I'm certainly much much more comfortable using it for semi-private stuff then either twitter or facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc Love Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Do you not think the novelty of facebook has worn off for users that have been using it pretty much early on? Its all well and good to be friends with some people on FB but sometimes you dont wish them to see everything. I think the social aspect to sharing that google have come up with is very user-friendly although as I havent been able to get in yet, i havent tried it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokRover Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Are invites actually working again ? Seems to depend on what country you are in, for all Asian countries its working no problem. UK, US and Germany are not working at the moment. Probably waiting on Google the flick the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already seen journos stating the the novelty soon wears off especially as none of their friends have accounts so theres nothing much to do. Doubt Google is worried about Journos at the moment its a beta and Google beta's are notoriously long. I can't remember how long the Gmail one was must have been way over 1 year.

Stuart Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm having similar problems to Sparkyrovers. I'm receiving emails from BKR but not able to open them. I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 As mentioned above. You no longer need invites, just sign up using a google mail address (at a time when google haven't suspended new signups). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clitherover Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm on, thanks to BR. Seems like a much better and less irritating version of Facebook, now it's just waiting for it to catch on which i'm sure it will when the full version comes out, anything Google has done in the past has become a major success can't see this being any different. Cue for Facebook to bring their own version of circles called 'rings' or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted July 11, 2011 Backroom Share Posted July 11, 2011 I think it was partially a prototype of what they're trying to do now with Google+, though the concept has changed quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I think it was partially a prototype of what they're trying to do now with Google+, though the concept has changed quite a bit. Wave was a fantastic idea, ruined by the fact they threw together a rough, buggy user interface and then let everyone try it. Not surprisingly it was then decried as horrible and people left as quick as they joined. The underlying principal is Wave was awesome (pump all your comms through a single protocol, allowing you to have a single unified interface for email, twitter, facebook, forums, chat etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biddy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm on google+ now. No idea what I'm doing and have no friends anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Cue for Facebook to bring their own version of circles called 'rings' or something. And why shouldn't they? Google were far from the first company to develop a search engine. Technology moves forward largely through borrowing the ideas of others and adding to them. Besides, you could argue they have a primitive version of circles (which I've only just read about through that link), as on Facebook you can already set up groups of friends and send things just to them. MSN messenger had groups you could set up too, and phones let you do the same. This is just an extension of those previous ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
