Yet again I'll be in a situation where I (potentially, hopefully) get invited but everyone else I know won't be, so I won't be able to use it. I think having this be invite only, especially where _Google_ is the entity doing the invites is a recipe for disaster.
Now, if they make it so that invited users can invite a good amount of other users (say, 100), then I think they _may_ be able to salvage this. If not, I'm not predicting a good outcome.

- stanmancan 15y agoExactly. This is the same mistake they made with Wave, and it turned out horribly. I actually enjoyed the idea/concept of Wave, but I never had any reason to login and actually use it since I only had one other person I knew with an account. The same will happen to Google+.
- tapp 15y agoThis. The product description is extremely appealing to me - it tackles exactly what I find to be most wrong with current social network software. If I could, I would begin using it immediately and would probably get 60-80 people in my network to do the same and try it with me. If this product gets any traction, it seems like a near certainty that Facebook will launch a "Circles" UI for their groups feature, very quickly, no? I understand why Google is taking it slow, but if the idea sounds like old news by the time Google lets me invite people, I suspect they're going to seriously compromise their odds of user adoption.
