Ive been playing around on it. Seems like a mix of facebook and twitter with a little skype thrown in. I am liking the lack of ads being spamed in my face and some of the other annoying quirks that facebook has.
Only downside right now is no ones on it yet.
I've been inviting my buddies. Even within my friends, it seems like it's mostly the techie, early adopters in there right now. You know, the ones who pack Droids and know what it means to root them ...

Do you still need to be invited to it or what?

Google+ may look like just another attempt to be “Social”, but the collection of services bring some amazing looking features to the Android and Google environment, allowing Google to take a swing at Apple, RIM, Facebook and others with one new product.Google finally announced Google+, its next effort in social.
Basically, Google+ is an amalgamation of several services we already use. The idea, according to Google, is to do them better.
Do you still need to be invited to it or what?
Google says
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.
That's basically true, but they are letting folks with invites register pretty freely now. PM me with your email addy if you'd like an invite. Gmail might be preferable, but not required.

Your the second person who has brought it up to me...., I will definitely check it out; however, I'm apprehensive as the last thing I need is another online communication tool....
