OT - Google Plus for grins ...

Anyone that is already on Google+, or would like an invite, and may be
remotely interested in an informal woodworking "circle" of like minded
individuals, or just to see how this latest addition to the social
networking idiocy is going to play out, drop me an email.

I realize that this is not most wreckers cup of tea, but it looks like
it may be more amenable to sharing woodworking adventures, photos, etc.
Google+ appears a good deal more private, discerning and to the point
than FaceBook. Caveat: you supposedly need to sign up with a real name.

I know, ... but hey, you never can tell where the next opportunity is
coming from; nothing ventured, etc.; and, especially in keeping up with
technology, you snooze, you lose.

It's indeed limited until it gets out of beta, but once you're in/been
invited you can invite others (there might be a rated amount of new
users/hour, from what I hear).

I got this message:

Google+ is in limited Field Trial
Right now, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't
be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us
your email address and we'll make sure you're the first to know when
we're ready to invite more people.
Keep Me Posted
Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try
again soon.

I haven't been invited to "play" yet, but I've been told (on Facebook) that "It
rocks!"

Got it, thanks. I wasn't aware I could be invited in by others. I tried to
just sign into my Google account and join when I heard others talking about it,
but it wouldn't let me; said I wasn't among the people who had been selected
for the trial.

Ah, but it looks like I might not be able to enjoy everything it has to offer
yet. When I look at "People in your circles" it lists me as "not yet using
Google+" and "Sharing via email only".

Yes, but I'm not sure I did it right... But I'm signed up under my gmail
address and not the one you invited me under. When I look in my "circle of
friends", I show up as my own friend under the email address that you invited
me with, so that's probably my point of confusion. I just added you in my
circle of friends; curious to see the effect... I've seen several
notifications from you that were sent to my non-gmail address; try switching to
my gmail identity in your "circle" instead.
