Anyone have an invite?
I have never heard of this. I tried looking it up but everything seemed pretty vague. Just "google's answer to facebook." Can you explain further? Or is that pretty much it?
i think it is very similar to facebook. i got sent a link to my gmail because my friend added me to his circle. i don't have facebook so i don't know why he thought i would join google + although this seems less...up yourself.
Everyone who wants an invite, pm me your email address...
It's pretty much the same idea as facebook, but well done and with no privacy fuckery... Pretty much, it has been designed to make sure you only share what you want with the people you want... Really well done indeed !
Oh, and Google doesn't own what you post, contrary to facebook...
Facebook owns my post? The lucky bastards are sitting on a gold mine!

pfff ahahahahaha me too! Zillions of great libertarian rants and priceless gay jokes.
I'm probably down with this since I have an Android phone
I have like ten invites... I don't even want to try it.
well i hate facebook, so someone please invite makavelix5@hot..com
so can we have a SL circle jerk or whatever?
Of course
well then I'm in.
if anyone has any invites left.
someone want share one invitation?
luiscpinzon@gmail.com
I guess I should ask for one too? I don't want to see un-cool....
pretty much the whole operation is un-cool until Mirium joins it though.
I will invite all of you as soon as I get home (no access to G+ at work)...
You fucking better!
yeeeah buddy
anyone know when this gets out of beta?

Yeah son, when Trey feels unpopular, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE \m/
for the record, I have never felt unpopular. Just sometimes I feel less popular than I used to be.
I suspect it may be due to the lack of recent photos of your penis...
i'd agree, but with the caveat that it only needs to be seen by those who haven't had it permanently burned into their retinas yet.
Good point. Men and women alike do seem to love my penis.
i don't think there was really a value judgment in the phrase "had it permanently burned into their retinas" haha
Yup, nor was I asking for it... You're still popular to me... * wink wink *

I know I am man. I know.
So, I invited all of you who pm'd me their email address... Please let me know if you didn't receive the invite.
For the others, if you need an invite, please do pm me... :)
Any of you are free to add me if you'd like. Trey Gregory
I CAN'T FIND YOU TREY, DERP.
And for any of you phools that don't have me on Facebook, I'm Josh Phillips.
my e-mail is TreyG378@aol.com.....Does that help?
i think i added you 2, but who knows. i'm still not understanding everything this thing does.
Yeah I have no idea what I'm doing on there. Also, I took a few pics of my dogs with my phone and it was instantly uploaded. Good thing I wasn't sexting your sisters.
It uploads automatically, yes, but it's not shared with anyone until you say so...
I watched a video on it and it really spoke to my inner spirit. As soon as I figure it out I'll add yall as my epic bros.
Are they not allowing any more people to join? At their site it says it's a test trial and they already have a limited number of people to try it out.
Nope, you have to receive an invitation, and cannot register by yourself as of yet...
yeah just PM your email or whatever and someone will invite you
I can't wait till it's open and it catches on. Facebook shouldn't be able to keep up. I really like the potential of the "circles" and that you can group into, say, my real life buds, my family, and my SL buds.
Yeah, that's really a cool feature...
I also can't wait it gets better integrated with all Google services and Android...
I'd ask for an invite but I'm being realistic :D
?
I don't feel I'd be welcome as I never have any productive input to anything
i'd like an invite if someone has it... tabor05@hotmail.com
no one's really inputting anything yet anyway. i think in a couple weeks it's open to everyone, so it should get popular.

Oh you :-*
I can't see myselg migrating from social network again unless facebook gets isolated. and even then I'd think about it.
I invited a buddy of mine to it. He uploaded a picture of himself with no shirt on. I pretty much have no other friends on there so every time I log in, I see a shirtless dude.
is it weird that basically my only friends are from SL?

Thing is G+ has so so much more potential than Facebook, and is what a social network should be.
I really hope it will pick up a big big follower base, because I really don't want to use facebook anymore after seeing what a social network could / should have been...
The second it's out of beta, I plan to migrate entirely to it.

I think that it's more likely that FB will copy this circle thing, rather than let google beat them.
These are both massive companies doing battle. But FB totally ownes the social networking world.
I mean, they literally killed myspace. Enough said?
FB isn't trying to be a search engine, and Google is probably going to loose at this. Although, im rooting for google. I like competition.
I kinda hope facebook rides this out and remains on top - just for the simple fact google is on its way to owning most of what the net is used for (outside of porn), what with the youtube acquisition - dont get me wrong, Im no facebook fan, but they, along with twitter, do their thing and their thing only. Monopolys are a pain in the arse.
Forced monopolies are a pain in the ass, if you have a monopoly cause your offer is better, and no one else can beat you, well, it's a different story to me.
Plus they don't use their monopoly to force you to use their other products, so... :)
I wish myspace was still the main one. I liked that It was mainly centered around music.

Maybe I guess, but now the Chromebooks are out, its heading that way...
And yeah myspace - its still my favourite. Music is the only reason I do the social site thing.

It wasn't always like that though..... was it?
When I first joined, I don't remember it being centered around anything except horny teenagers trying to meet other people. But maybe I just didn't pay enough attention.

Like everything else in life I'm pretty late in the game. I think I was the last guy in my grade to go through puberty. It sucked having a girlfriend that wanted to fuck and I couldn't even cum. lol
So by the time I knew about myspace music seemed to be the focal point. Maybe not though. I guess I was just comparing it to facebooks lack of music culture.
I think I used to masturbate and pee at the end, before I hit puberty, because I knew something was supposed to happen at the end.
But yeah, one of my friends gave me the link to myspace when it was first starting up because I was complaining about not having a GF. So, by accident, I found it in it's early days. But it was mainly just a place for mid-school and high-school kids to try and hook up. A lot of black dudes sending white girls messages like "yo grl, its ur boi tyrone. u r hawt & luk kool. holla bak if u aint a h8ter".
Eventually it got more popular and I think a lot of bands realized it was a good way to get their music out, so a whole music scene emerged on myspace. But I don't that that was ever it's original purpose, or even ever its main function. Although I could totally see how you would think that it was. I never really noticed how bands don't use facebook the same as they did myspace, until you said that.

lol I think you might have just seen what you wanted to see :)
I'm pretty sure that's what was going on. I think the music thing was by accident.

WOW! I usually assume people who take their facebook pictures shirtless are always shirtless in real life, so when I see them I ask " whats with the shirt bro"? LOL
Damn that joke was unfunny, ruins my entire day
Yeah, me too. I somehow feel worse about life after reading that joke.

i like how this image link seems to be from some sort of homoerotic bear site. randy be all about the cheeseburgers.
hahahahahaha I didn't even see that. I'm sure Leahy thinks he's a hell of a bear.
Well, I mean, He IS a hell of a bear. Just look and that snarl.

LOL. Dude why are you so funny? It's like crazy how fucking funny you are.
Even your sarcasm isn't funny.
At least he's consistent.
Consistently better-off deleting his account and never reminding us of his pathetic existence, ever again.
excuse my shorthand :)
lol, my bad homie
No harm, no foul. I probs should've been more specific for his sake, anyhow.
I'm pretty sure that he never knows what anybody is talking about. No matter how specific they are.
Maybe we actually should get Ross in here, you know, to translate or something.
I miss Ross. He's the perfect bad guy. Except when I was playing the bad guy for my first year or two. Maybe I should go back and fight myself.
Luckily, we have a time machine!
(except for bitch-ass post-deleters)
Have you ever tried to Archive.org this web site? its actually quite fun.
But yeah. It might be even more fun to go back and attack Ross from the past.
yeah, i think there was a topic on here about it actually, like wayyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day. i wonder if you can get memberships to failed porn sites...
That would be awesome.
you check, i haven't had to work for 3 weeks so my dick is completely chapped. i dunno what people do on unemployment for three years. there must be some new kind of lotion i don't know about or something.
I think they make their girlfriends hate sex.
do they really have the old conversations ?
Are you guys proposing some sort of time travel actually exists?
Yup

but I believe in time travel too
I like this archive link a bit more:
http://www.archive.org/download/http://www.archive.org/details/UmphreysMcGee (http://www.archive.org/download/http://www.archive.org/details/UmphreysMcGee)
so facebook screwed things up royally. seems more people are actually going to start using G+ now.
yep, people hate the new facebook. they fucked up and we all know they won't listen to the users. maybe their rule of social media is coming to an end.
Good old complaining. Reminds me of everyone being annoyed about the design change of last.fm.
And yet nobody deleted their account.
So there you go
lastfm changed?
a long ass time ago.
hey how bout that
