Google +

I feel tempted to try Google + -- does anybody have a spare invite I could have?

Thanks in advance!

Got one! Who needs an invite, who wants to be added to circles?

Heard someone say they had one yesterday, for the first time. Why do you want one? We all hated Wave and Buzz and reviled Google baring us for any stranger to investigate without us having added or even known them. What did I miss? Seriously!

But we tried them. And Gmail is good. So despite articles like this, I want to try.

I didn't, because I knew if you ever clicked Buzz you'd been linked to other identities. And Wave was pointless. It's just that I never had myspace or facebook and even tumblr isn't really worth it. I wonder if you use different platforms for different people or identities - but your tumblr is like LJ. See, I have goodreads and flickr, these are very different things to me, very specific. All other platforms - if I don't talk with my contacts in one, why would I in another etc.. If I don't meet like-minded people on LJ where there is fannish content, why would I on FB where you only say "I like".

I do have slightly different identities on different platforms. And definitely no Facebook, because I distrust them deeply.

But I'd like to try Google + -- just curious.

*nods* I was just really looking for a new reason, one for myself. And I can't risk crossing my linked-but-seperate IDs. BTW, Google didn't give me access to my YouTube account, saying they only accept suchandsuch and no longer my old, non-Gmail related ID, with all my saved favs in it.
