    So apparently I have google+ and there's no limit to the number of invites I can send out.

    Who wants some?

    You have no limits? My friends who have it are limited. Why are you so special? Hmmmm? ;):D I'm just gonna wait for my friends to invite me when the get invites available again. Not really looking to get to uber-connected to the world just yet.

    I have google+ now. Not entirely sure what its for other then I already have facebook. The whole dragging friends and other contacts into circles was fun for about a minute and then I got bored. I posted a comment, but currently only 9 people may have read what I wrote, which is fine because it was exactly the same comment I had on my facebook where the same 9 people plus another ~140 friends may have read what I wrote. I'm not one of those friends collectors and try not to have to many people added on my facebook. Google+ I plan to be even more strict with.

    Make circles so you can delete them. That amused me for 10 minutes! Fun fun fun.

    Your picture indicates that Google+ definitely needs zombies.


    indeed it does!

    With Google+, I'm following some blogger types like Tim Bray. So they post a lot, but I'm not sure it's too useful, as I could just read their blogs. If there is a Google+ equivalent of a Facebook page, like say for restaurants, I haven't seen that in use yet.

    I'm not sure how useful the circle limitation is in practice. It sounds good, but I start to get angst trying to figure out which circles to include with a post, so I end up just doing Public. This is a small example of the paradox of choice. If you have say 10 circles, making exclude/include decisions repeatedly is tiring.
