Default Anyone on Google+?

Hello lovely ladies.

I've been gone for a while, and in my absence from here had massive multiple harddrive failure, lost all my digi-supplies (thank you Randy for being an angel and resetting my downloads) and switched to Mac.

I got invited by a friend to Google+ (google's facebook variant) and it looks really good. I particularly like how you can make "circles" to include only specific people (i.e. family or friends or scrapbooking fans ).

My circles are quite lonely at the moment though with only me and my friend on there, was wondering if any of you scrapping ladies were on google+ too already, or if not, if anyone would like an invite.

Krysta

Haven't been invited by anyone yet, but am definitely curious! Sounds like it has some cool features that facebook doesn't....

I don't know, I've been reading articles that are saying Facebook still has the edge if you are a particular type of user. It seems Facebook is better for me right now, considering why I use it and who my friends are.

I'm dying for an invite and I tried registering on their site, but I guess I have to be patient. So how is it ?

@ Bailey: I'm not sure, you can look up by name, but I couldn't locate you or Aino just by typing your first names.

I got an invite and have signed up. I'll add your names. Not quite sure what to do yet....
Still seems to be in testing phase.

I'm on there! And many of you who said you had no invites are actually already in some of my circles (I think if I ever had your email address and google knows you then you show up). If anyone needs an invite you can pm me.

The easiest way to point someone to your Gplus is to create a gplus.to link. Basically, you provide your full (tons of numbers) "user name" and select an address. (Go here to set it up.)

For example, if you go to http://www.gplus.to/angelanoel you get my profile. No more having to search for people you don't have in your address book already!

(Oh, and I've got invite abilities and would love to have people add me for scrap stuff. Just let me know via G+ - share a post with only me - why you added me. Don't want to get knitting folks and scrap folks confused - unless you do both!)

Yeah, Angela! You're nearby! and I finally got back to G+ and started a circle. Digital Scrapbooking - and I'm ...tada Maureen Reynolds. I'm not sure where you got that g+ url though so I don't have a similar link.
