If anyone is interested in Google+, I just got in today and it looks like I can send out invites for the time being. Just send me a PM with your email. No promises - I got an invite from a random/awesome person at reddit last night, but it wasn't until today that the invite worked and I could sign up. Supposedly it will be open to the public by the end of July, but I have nothing to cite for that.

I've seen some really good things about this social networking service. If it's actually out of beta I'd like to look into it further. I especially liked the way it seemed to offer more flexibility regarding what you can let people see and not see, so you can designate someone not just as a "friend" (like on Facebook) but as an "acquaintance" in varying degrees, some people having access to more than others. It also looked pretty user-friendly.

If you want an invite, LHemphillix, let me know. That goes for anyone else here on the forum.

I like the whole new idea of limiting stuff you share on your network which is just great.

I mean, it would be no issue if you have a lot of friends on your list but it is a different thing with letting everyone see your updates, even those who are in no way related to it.

But some say that kills the idea of having a social network but I disagree, at all levels so people could still get some form of privacy.
