How is that not using them? That is precisely what Facebook is used for, I thought.

Then you should probably wait until more people join. It’s like a tighter, cleaner version of Facebook with some good ideas from Twitter thrown in. Hopefully it will become the dominant social networking hub. But if you’re not really using Facebook or Twitter now, you’re not going to get much out of it until most of your friends are there.

I have the impression he’s reading Facebook, but not engaging with it.

This. I don’t think I have ever posted a status (or whatever they’re called) on it. It’s very handy for keeping track of numerous tornado chasers, though.

I’m definitely impressed with the privacy and friends management so far. Here’s my profile if anyone’s interested in building their Doper circles -

[https://plus.google.com/117953982615028377320?hl=en&tab=wh#117953982615028377320/posts](https://plus.google.com/117953982615028377320?hl=en&tab=wh#117953982615028377320/posts)

And I believe I should still have some invites if anyone needs one.

BeeRad, I tried to invite you but it wouldn’t go through, so someone else prolly beat me to it.

Hay everyone! I’m not terribly excited about this development, but I’d better get in while I can (I at least got in Gmail early enough to get my preferred email address, I was late to the Twitter party :/)

jgabbard is my gmail address, if anyone is able to send out invites.

(hidden bonus: work doesn’t have google+ blocked yet! ;))
