what is it?

the Facebook killer. supposedly

Yeah its like google's version of facebook. I want to check it out. Surely someone out there has some invites.

is it in a beta?

Yeah just like every new google thing you gotta get an invite for now.

Hopefully its better than google wave. That was a good idea that massively flopped. I think it will be hard to take over facebook since pretty much everyone has invested in it, course it happened to myspace...

everyone also uses google, so it's a possibility. also, im thinking that google will figure out someway to integrate their phone software with google+ somehow. should be interesting.

in other news, apparently facebook has just released video chat within facebook. welcome to 2001

I don't see why I wouldn't try it out.

Facebook is adding video soon. Gonna be a good battle

Google+ looks amazing. I have it. They stopped the invite system though and sent a lovely email that basically said "Wow, we didn't anticipate such a great response, we closed the invite system for now"

It looks great so far... but there's not enough users yet for it to take off.

One thing i think is cool, is everytime you take a picture with your phone, it uploads the picture to your own "cloud" that you can choose to share later on... same with videos.

music beta by Google is another cool thing i'm excited about.

music.google.com

Man, WOTCH OUT for Google. Not just from an information gathering standpoint, BUT most times, they want to add some Google TOOLBAR or Google UPDATE mess to your PC.

That is the biggest SPYWARE HOG that I've come across whenever diagnosing PC's for slowness.

The Toolbar constantly tries to get updates from the internet, thus using up your resources...

The BAD thing is that it's not intelligent enough to know when you have the software already installed (beit unbeknownst to you or not), and will therefore install multiple instances of it, and fire off multiple requests to the internet for stuff...

I'm tellin' you, I've made a LOT of money fixing that thing on "Slow" PC's.

hmmmm... so if you install it a ton of times, than it has multiple tool bars running? Do you uninstall each of them or does uninstalling once take them all off?

Most times, it does a silent install and runs as separate services...

A few can be running in the following areas (assuming you're a Windows user...)

C:\Documents and Settings\DJJOHNNYM\Local Settings\Temp\Googletoolbar.exe

C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\Googletoolbar.exe

C:\Windows\Temp\Googletoolbar.exe

C:\Documents and Settings\Allusers\Applications\Googletoolbar.exe

And they can ALL have startup parameters that you didn't even know about...

Check your "Task Manager" to see what processes are running if you happen to be a "Google" fan.... :-).

That has been my Public Service Announcement of the Day.

Enjoy.

Oh, and you'd have to hunt down each instance of them running...

ONE may be able to be removed by Add/Remove programs, but the others?

Man listen...

Geek Squad is gettin PAID off of Slow PC's due to Google...

I'll only charge you Half...

I do NOT miss those days...

I tried the Beta version of Google Music and it sucks. All it is, is a music player in the cloud. Nothing groundbreaking like I expected. There's no sort of music discovery to find new music. You have to upload your own music which is wack because you download the music in the first place then you're uploading it back to the cloud just to listen to it.

TRAITOR!













Nah, truth is, I'll be a MAC MAN, sooner than later...

My stepdaughter has aspirations for a Graphics Arts Design type of College, and they REQUIRE a Macbook Pro 15".

I have 1 year to get prepared.

***sigh***

Google plus seems kinda cool. Not sure how it's gonna work out with all the people still stuck on Hotmail and Yahoo? I dropped hotmail when they wanted to start charging money for IMAP and POP services. Google-integrated services with Android is the best switch I could have ever made.

add me to your circle

aurbina.metro@gmail.com

I'm in and I really hope this takes off. Way better than facebook. Circles are awesome and the photo and video albums are how they should be esp if you have a smart phone.

Took him 4 years to get Serato but only 1 year for a Mac??

<just saying>

Hey, I don't have it yet...

I love Google+. It's super clean. No caffeine. I hope it kills facebook.

nm

+1

It's dope so far to me too... but its quiet.
Like Mark from Skratchworx said "Its like we got to a great new bar before anyone else"

Here's mine btw:
gplus.to

I love the way the pictures and videos are laid out. Also, I'm uploading (backing up) everything from my phone and it goes to a private folder automatically. On facebook, it automatically goes to a public folder which used to piss me off.

nm

Yeah I'm keen to build up some followers and see if it means I can rule out Facebook a bit more. Over it.

Followers welcome: gplus.to

Can you guys send me an invite? :(

I'm a little reluctant to publicly post my profile. I'm anti-social in person and based on Facebook, I'm also anti-social on social networks. Besides the world coming to an end or some underwear shots being leaked, what's the worst that can happen?

Anyone with a spare invite?

just realised g+ ISNT blocked at work like facebook is...SCORE...now i just need an invite

Don't make me regret this... send me a PM with your email address. Don't post your email publicly, unless you want to get spammed to death by bots. If you posed your email on here already, I would suggest requesting someone from Serato/Rane to remove it or break it up so the bots can't read it as an email address.

OMG, it was cool while it lasted - Beezle getting on - it's a swift ride down the tubes now...

: )

LMFAO!!

add me to your DJ Circles
gplus.to

anybody need an invite send me a pm

DJ Circles is a good idea actually...... I think G+ should do trends

if anyone needs an invite hit me up on PM. Also, I added everyone on here so far (I think). Should we start a thread like the Twitter thread?

I added you to my circle Dj Nyce.

Anyone who wants to add me send me a PM. I will give you my email address. Like Deez, I don't want to get spammed.

The good thing is, you can invite someone and not add them to any circles! <genius>

Once someone adds you, you can add them to whatever circles you want. I'm liking this.

Yup. I agree.

This may sound stupid but im having trouble trying to figure out if i want to put my real name in or stick with my dj name. I hate using my real names on sites but it seems like it would help with searching.

Not stupid at all bro. I wrestled with the same dilemma - I went with my real name and added my nickname and dj name to the taglines. It shows in searches now.

i keep going back and forth between stage name and gov't. if they add new features like screen/usernames or vanity url's i'll revisit it.

this thing scares me, all your pics you put on get added to googles servers, with FB is at least its own thing, I'm just seeing google having way to much info... anyways anyone have any extra invites?

The invites aren't limited in numbers like Gmail or Google Voice was. They're either on or off based on whether or not Google allows them.

I need a hook up on an invite. I would like to try this.

sounds like something I'd like to try... Anyone wanna toss me an invite?

mutha suckas don't read

here's a great introductory article to get the what what about google+

PCWorld A Must-See How-to Guide to Google+ -- Created By Users
www.pcworld.com

for the doc, click the link 'Google+ Tips and Tricks' in the first paragraph.

hey im on it.

On it... So what's everyone think so far? I'm diggin it. Add me.
plus.google.com

I'm on it too, with many thanks to Nyce!

I like it. The whole concept of circles makes me want to use this more than Facebook.

I want facebook to die like myspace did.

Anyone have an invite? hook it up.

send pm with email address

I just added u. I have a hat on in my pic lol

I'm officially on Google+ everyone add me

GPlus.to

ok im on there, shits confusing me

ahh just saw the invite tab
DJ NY, how did you put that link up there?

Added you...

Anyone care to share an invite? I want to know what this is all about.,,, carlos_garcia@me.com. Thank you.

I'm in! I'm in! Thank you! now i got to figure it out how to work. plus.google.com

EXACTLY!

Just a reminder... if you're only using your government name, put your DJ name on there too so I know who the hell you are.

nm

I'm in as well. Trying to figure out how to use it.

Wow... when you put something in the "Other Names" field, you can select what circles see those "other names." Holy shit this is awesome. This makes it so easy to have just 1 account and have more than 1 professional life.

im still worried about adding my gov name, right now there are no places in the world where the 2 are linked and it would concern me that there would be a place where if need be someone could combine the 2

plus.google.com

I personally don't care if people use their government name or not. It's just that I get people adding me to their circle and don't know who they are.... until I do a little bit of research. lol

my bad...lol. Even my twitter folks are wondering who I am.

i cant figure out how to add my dj name :(

Fine ill join the fun.

gplus.to/Feffen

Fine ill join the fun.

www.gplus.to

Trying out the hangout feature. Spinning some tunes.. let me know how it goes if you join in. I know my cam situation sucks... too lazy to set up a 2nd laptop.

Was kinda cool. This is good for QA/practice sessions like we used to do on stickam.

on top right, click your name, then click profile

click blue edit profile button, then click the section you want to change.

the top one is your profile name (firstname lastname or DJ ShadyLady). at the bottom you can also change/add other name and nickname.

sweet thank you!!!

I'm loving G+ & I been diggin' G Music for a while. I love not having music take up memory on my phone. Add me on G+ : "DJDDT -Desmond Travis"

if I make a circle just for dj's, can I change my name just for that circle?

You can set a nickname that only that circle can see. I haven't checked to see how it's visible to those in that circle.

thanks, how do you go about doing that?

Could someone please hook me up with an invite?
chrishgk at gmail dot com
Thanx!

done

finally figured this link crap out... www.gplus.to add me!

Yo, I might have to invest..

plus.google.com

Edit your profile, put in that info, set the circles you want that info visible to.

The BEST feature by far is the automatic upload of pictures and videos. I have mine set up to upload only when I'm using a WiFI and the phone is charging.

Thanx!!

Can I try for an invite? Does it matter if it's a rarely used email? djslimmjimm at hotmail dot com

Slimmjimm - sent you an invite
Culprit & CMOS - added you to my 'DJ' circle
