What do you think of Google+?

having been a google fan from the start, i’d say, i really like the concept of circles, however, hindi ko pa talaga natest masyado dahil 1 pa lang ang contact ko. :S

cant comment especially if you dont have one lol….

thanks for the invite sir abe! but i still CANT acces google plus it says temporary unavail..

No invite, no comment ahhahaha.

I wanna try it. I’ve been looking for someone to invite me, kaso i got no response from them.

Koya, Yuga please invite me!
Thanks.

I’ve yet to explore Google+. Thanks for the invite btw.

Here’s an interesting read: http://venturebeat.com/2011/06/30/google-could-make-twitter-the-next-myspace/

Typo here:
“The good thing is that there’s a web app you can ‘used form’ your phone”

~~ still waiting for an invite.. *sigh*

The concept is really amazing but the implementation is a bit off. The UI is mostly text based, users will be overwhelmed and be confused what to read first.

Yes the UI is neat, but masyadong neat kaya medyo boring na. No WOW factor.

A step by step wizard on its features is a big help, but considering it is still in Beta, maybe there are still more features to come.

Google should think of not only something new but something interesting and addicting in order for them to compete with or even outshine Facebook.

you gave out the invites already? how come i didn’t get one when i was one of the first (the 2nd overall, i think) to leave a comment? huhuhu…

:D

Again, thank you for the invite Abe.

For me, it’s still too early to tell if it’s good or if it’s going to knock Facebook’s socks off. Once it opens to the public and that we can try most of its features with our friends (you know, real interaction), then we’ll see.

I’ve also downloaded the .apk file over the web and installed it on my phone. It’s very slow on my SGS & it lagged most of the time. On the other hand, It’s all good (when it worked). I’m sure they’ll smooth things out eventually or hopefully before public release.

first, thank you for the invite sir abe! the UI is good, clean and easy to navigate. the feature i like is the “circle” it’s like making a group just like facebook but it is easier since you just have to drag them to the “circles” pretty cool, but still familiarizing myself. so far so good..

still.. every now and then i can’t help myself comparing it to facebook..

just my 2 cents..

i want an invitation. Can anyone invite me, please? :)

A lot of the features you can already do on Facebook. I guess some just weren’t aware.

I like how you can watch real-time Youtube videos with your friends. I also love the interactive way of arranging your friends using one of google +’s signature feature, circles. Plus it syncs with your other google apps. Overall, Google + looks promising.

Can someone send me an invite as well? Gusto ko ring mag UAT (User Acceptance Test) on Google+. Thanks in advance.

I like the interface: really clean, something that is a trademark of Google. The interface needs some familiarizing though. I like the Hangout feature, and Circles is like Facebook Groups and Twitter rolled into one. If anyone wants invites, I’m willing to share the new Google + experience with you. :)

Thanks for the invite!

I like its simple approach and features. It really felt like a combination of a couple of SNS riding on other Google features. There’s really a huge potential. Good move Google. :)

I like its UI. Very clean, Hope that Games will be in Google+ very soon

I didn’t get an invite :( I was the 3rd poster

para sa akin ok naman yung font lang yung ayaw ko o baka nasanay lang ako sa font ni facebook.

It’s pretty clean (like everyone else said). I wish it had Youtube support on the get go and I wish it integrated Buzz into the stream. Right now Buzz is a separate tab in your profile.

Overall a solid entry. I’ve come back to G+ more than I have in FB when it started. I guess that’s a good thing at least for me.

hmm from the looks of it, it seems to be very interesting. im looking forward to try out google+ once i get invited.

I did get an invite from you but I wasn’t able to use it.

“Already invited? We’ve temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.”

kahit pahabol na ako… please give me invite sa mga may spare pa jan… my email… arleig****@****.***… thanks…

wow.. I like that circles feature ng google+
pa invite din po ralphlenzme****@****.*** =)

I’d love to give invites kaso Google found out about that bypass method thingy. It doesn’t work now. :(

sir yuga pa-invite din po ako ja****@****.***

AWESOME! Facebook is so going down :D

First of all thank you to Abe for the Invite!!!
So heres my 1 day review…..

I like pretty much the whole make-up and ideas of sharing. I love the ease of sharing and uploading photos. As a long time user of Picasa it is very nice to have all my pictures integrated without having to upload again. Also the auto upload from my phone is just amazing and time saving. As far as sharing pictures video and web content goes google plus definatly has a huge edge on the competition.
I have not enough contacts yet to try the hangout feature but can definatly see using that as a great feature for video conferencing with family in Canada in the future.
Huddle is great on android and is really fast
Spark i was actually surprised with to be honest. I thought it was gonna be an advertisement and marketing gimmick and it turns out to be an excellent source of information on my interests. I’ve only played with it alittle bit but it finds a wider array of content relating to my interests then searching it on Google. When you get a chance try it out. Like i said i was surprised.
Circles are really great in the idea of it. One thing though is when you port all your facebook contacts it takes a very long time to organize them. Very long! You can easily port your contacts through a Yahoo mail account.
Stream on the Android app is Better then on the Web i think because of the Nearby Stream which lets you see what people near you are Streaming Publicly. Great for advertising events and finding out whats going on around you. This could be an excellent tool for mass communicating community events. I hope they add this to the browser version of plus also

All in all i think Plus is a winner! Many things I like about it and the usefulness is definatly there and time saving like i said for pictures and video sharing. I can’t wait till more people start using it and we can really test out some of the group features better. The one thing i would have to say bad about it is just working out the kinks. it freezes up a bit when you add 500+ facebook contacts and try adding them all into your circles. Also the interface could use a little refining though i understand this is still not a final product. Other then that I find it very refreshing and more to my taste then the other social networking site.

Thanks again to Abe for the invite. If i ever meet you in person i owe you a drink. :)

wala pa po ako invite abe,

hello! are google+ invites still available?

Heard about the huddle and circles too. It’s interesting. :J

+1 Using Picasaweb as it’s photo/video storage is a great +1 for me, can store up to 1000 photos per album! And if your photos are below 2000pixels I think, it’s unlimited storage and doesn’t eat up your free 1GB storage limit.

+1 Hangout is way too cool

+1 Circles, a great and easy way to segregate friends/family/etc. That way your posts don’t get shown to the wrong people, I know FB has groups, but way too tedious for me.

+1 Slick interface, clean.

-1 Haven’t convinced more people to move to G+

-1 no Apps/Games yet

The biggest +1 for me, it hasn’t been blocked by my office yet hehehehe
