Post by: Jason from Huntsville, AL on July 07, 2011, 04:51:57 PM: If some folks want to pm me their real name & a gmail address, I could try to add them. Not sure if invites are going through or not right now, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Post by: hotmessization on July 07, 2011, 06:06:29 PM: I don't get this. It sucks and is kind of creepy.

My friend sent an invite to my e-mail. I get the invite through an obscure e-mail I made up for another forum.

I have an album that I never uploaded. It's 4 images from my Garfield Minus Garfield Plus A Girl In A Chair series, which does not exist anymore and of which's website has been deleted. These images have no connection to either my real e-mail or the phony one it signed me up with.

I can't figure out how to upload anything or edit any of this. It's all just kind of there.

If Google was a person, I'd put a restraining order against him/her for stalking me here.

Post by: joe on July 07, 2011, 10:16:28 PM: I just started a FOT circle and added you to it, Jason. I'm not quite sure what to make of Google+ yet, but I'll play around with it for a while.

Post by: Jason from Huntsville, AL on July 08, 2011, 01:26:08 AM: I guess I'll see you over there, Joe.

Btw, it looks like + is wide open now if anyone cares to hop in.

Post by: CSW on July 08, 2011, 06:24:47 AM: Still won't let me in, been trying all week. I wonder if it's US only at the moment?

If anyone wants to help me out (I will beg) pm me and we can exhange info. Please and thanks.

You've dashed all my hopes and dreams, Jason.

Post by: Jason from Huntsville, AL on July 08, 2011, 08:50:36 AM: Weird. When I log out and go to the Google + page see a button that says "Sign Up" instead of that lame warning.

Maybe it's just letting people from Alabammy sign up? Why don't you try it from Alabama, Dave?

Post by: CSW on July 08, 2011, 03:38:29 PM: I made it on. Trying a lot seemed to help. Creating a profile in "Regular" Google and then tring to get into + can help, mine worked after I did that.

I added Jason already and will now search the rest of you or send invites to those who asked.

Post by: Paydirt! on July 08, 2011, 07:26:58 PM: Pretending I don't care, but also refreshing the page every few hours to no avail and secretly hoping someone invites me to the dance.

I can also do the for 497 of the rest of you until they cut it off again.

Post by: Ojingeo on July 11, 2011, 01:59:20 AM: i'm on google+ and willing to add anyone (I think it's easy to get on now) but can we create a FOT circle, or just our own only "FOT circle." I like having just a few friends where I can post embarassing status updates without divulging to the whole world--just like the early days of facebook. (Before my mom added me as a friend etc......)

You can set up your own FoT circle and broadcast out to them.
