    I have a couple of new adds, but not sure how to reciprocate from my phone.

    I got the invite and registered, but I don't really get it yet. Can anyone explain?

    I have an alpha-geek friend who sent me an invite a month ago ... but I didn't get to it right away and when I clicked I got a generic come back later message.

    Last weekend the floodgates opened -- other people had gotten in, so I tried again and got in. Now even I can send invites.
    Basically it's competing with Facebook. It gives me more control over who sees what... and there isn't the crappy clutter.
    The "how to do circles" had "cycling geeks" as an example of the woman's circles... so I figure one of twho things happened: Enough people in Google's powerful mine-eery-word-you-type data stashes said "Bicycle" for it to be considered a cool hip thing to use as an example... or... they're already catering things to individuals and they know *I* am into cycling. I want a non-biker-babe to let me know...

    My sister sent me an invite. I'm liking it thus far--it seems cleaner and a little more user-friendly than Facebook.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I hadn't heard anything about it til this last week; then again, I've been out of the country for two weeks. I did read a brief article that said the members (so far) are overwhelmingly male (while FB is about 50/50 male/female) and has a high % of techie types.

    I'm passing for now. Heck, I just signed up for FB this spring. I can't handle yet another new social media thing to keep up with.

    i'm on google+ but the problem is, I have no friends there... so its kinda hard to see how well its working. I'm also not so keen on just adding everyone, coz then it'll be just like facebook. hmm...
