Google+ is expected to hit 10,000,000 members by tomorrow. Tiny number compared to Facebook's 500,000,000, but still impressive in such a short time.

A few things Google+ offers:

*Bold* = Bold

_Italics_ = Italics

-Strike- = BB code doesn't work here for this, but it's basically a word with a line going though it.

Putting a + or @ before a name will highlight that name in a post (providing that person is a Google+ member).

thats one of the many things i like about it too. they've really cracked down on internet usage at my work, but i am allowed to have email open. so since i can sign into gmail, g+ is fully integrated. it's nice. i had my first "hangout" yesterday. was kinda fun.

I don't understand why anyone not using gmail would want to use this. It makes the experience that much better.
I tried the hangout feature tonight. I thought it was great. It was just with one person, but I'd love to see how it is with a group.

we had 4 people, and there was a bit of trouble with people talking over one another because of the delay, but it was still neat.

I don't think so... But knowing someone on the internet is just as good or better than knowing them in real life these days.

I've met a handful of people on the internet....enough for me to realize that having hangups about people on the internets is passe. This isn't the 90's where I think everyone I have met on the net is a serial killer into necrophilia in an AOL chat room.

I'd have this cracka TM over my place for some chicken massala, no doubt.

People used to be so paranoid about using their real names online. Now it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. Facebook and now Google+ have proven that.

I don't see the point of posting "I want an invite" in the thread when there are a few people who have said more than once "if you want an invite, PM me". Wouldn't it be easier to just PM one of those people?

Google+ is 2 years old today. Has everyone here given up on it or are there still some users?

I gave up for several months but then came back. It has changed so much and added some really great features. I like it a lot. Twitter is still my favorite, but Google+ is nice, especially their Communities section. As I continue using Google+, I find myself using Facebook less and less.

As of January of this year, Google+ has surpassed Twitter in number of users, becoming the #2 social network behind Facebook.

Dust off your account and see if you like the changes that have taken place.

Most likely due to everyone who has gmail pretty much being forced to have a google+ profile.

i hate google now. used to be a time, when I could feel safe indulging in all sorts of nefarious activities on Youtube, knowing that it would never ever be traced back to me via my GMail / Google+ / Gravatar and what have you. but now, with google's new policies you can't keep any of these sites separate. i had the most retarded profile pic on Youtube, and it's only recently that I found out that it somehow ended up being my GMail profile pic as well. (mind you this is my professional GMail too).

Google will always be Google, but I feel like it's time they had some new competiton. somebody who'll light a fire under their bums.

It's worth keeping the account just for Hangouts. Group video chat and screen sharing. Just lock down your account and don't use it.

Hangouts has replaced Google Chat and looks like it'll also be replacing/incorporating Google Voice. Hopefully that means MMS will be coming soon.
