Any of you guys on Google+?

Been wanting to ditch ChildBook for some time now, looks like G+ might be the way. Anyone else on here messing with it?

It's only in beta form, but first impressions, looks cleaner, simpler and tighter than FaceBook.

What do you guys think?

Below is a link to some of the features of G+

Someone send me an invite to G+ and I will let you know.

PM me your gmail address and i'll send you one.

For those with iPhones, Apple just approved Google+

Google+ for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 on the iTunes App Store

Works like a charm

btw, anyone wants to add me to their "motorcycle/bike" circle, pm me.

Pretty cool. Thanks for the invite. I like that right away, it pulls the Google Picaso, contacts, calender and other items in. I will need to play around with it for a while now. I

Is there a motorcycle circle?

Glad you like it.
I find it much more professional and simpler than FaceBook.

I just created a "bike" circle and all my riding buddies or friends from motorcycle forums, I add to that circle.

This way, when I post bike related articles, pics, vids or questions, I limit my post to bike circles. It's neater and I get better responses this way.

I got some invite to view someone's Picasa photos and it seems you must use a Google gmail account to access it. He uses Apple ipad and iphone stuff so I'm guessing Apple and Google are ganging up on Billy Gates now. Not that MS Windows Mobile is any wondrous stuff on smartphones (blah!).

Sort of scary when one place attempts to control the entire web and stores your all your data though (cloud).

I agree with you Mack, cloud is a double edged sword.
In a way all you info(that you agree to) is stored safe(in case your house gets beamed up by the Borg), but that same info can be compromised and hacked.

I'll send you one as soon as I get home. Have a few invites left but have no clue how to do it from the iPhone app.
