    Got my invite for Google + today! (Thanks Charlie!)
    Check out my profile, add me to your circles!

    Google Plus Invite

    I'm trying to figure it out, it seems like it pretty cool.
    I will say- I haven't really been in the loop of all the Google+ news, so I'm not entirely sure what I should be able to do and what I shouldn't.

    Photos
    I will say, off the bat, I am not a fan of the photo section.  There isn't a way to mass delete selected photos from albums.  I'm being picky, but I'm just not a huge fan of the photo section yet.  But it does a nice job of bringing all photos you have ever uploaded through any Google affiliate together.

    Circles
    As far as the 'circles'- let me explain what I know.  You put each contact into a 'circle' to help organize.  The circles from default with: Friends, Family, Acquaintances, and Follow.  You can add your own custom circles as well.

    Posting
    When you post something, you must choose which circles it is show to.  Which is really cool, but means posting is not as quick as facebook or twitter.

    Layout
    I love the layout- very clean, very fluid.  I'm still getting the hang of it, still learning the ins and outs.  I can tell once I understand how it works I will love it.

    +1's
    I'm not sure when Google first started this, it has been a while- but it is brought to a very useful place now.  There is a tab for "+1" where it collects all the +1's you have clicked throughout the web (Sort of like "Favoriting" a website)

    Buzz
    Google tried Buzz last year or so, and it tanked (at least to me). Now they are 'reviving' it as a version of 'the newfeed' from facebook.

    Overall (I know there's more- but as I said, I am still learning this), I like Google+.  I think it could post a good competition against facebook, once they smooth everything out.

    Want an invite? Shoot me an email with "Google + Invite" as the subject, and I'll send you an invite as quickly as I can.
