How the hell do you invite others? I've got a couple of friends begging to be invited, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Google is an interesting company. They don't penalize any employee for a failed product and all employees are allowed to spend time on concepts they thought up. I remember when the internet as a whole was that way, but now most dotcoms are all SRS BSNS and corporatized. I always like to watch a new Google product for a bit before I sign up. It's kind of like buying the first generation of a new car - the bugs haven't even been thought of yet.
As a white hat hacker, um... I mean Strategic Data Analyst... let me address privacy concerns: if you want something to remain private, keep it off the computer. Don't scan it, don't sit it near your computer, don't tell your kids who own and use a computer... You can find EVERYTHING on the internet if you look hard enough. It's actually how I found our oldest child after DFCS had lost his file, placed him in a group home, and told him he had just imagined having siblings. Privacy is just an illusion - people who want to find info on you can find it and people who don't care just don't look hard enough. The trick is to generate so much information that the bad stuff is buried under a pile of stuff you want people to see. Most folks won't click more than 3 pages into a search engine and honestly, most people aren't interesting enough to give more than 3 clicks to.

LOL i'm lucky, if you google my real name, so much flack comes up about a pedo stat atorny that hung himself and a black barber in NYC, that a lot of my stuff is buried. i also keep an eye on what emails/usernames i use and anything i don't want associated with me gets a different one, and i have one i ONLY use for things like jobs and paypal so googling it gets almost no hits
another google product i LOVE at the moment is
voice.google.com
it's nice to be able to text friends from a computer *click click* walk away and keep the convo going, instead of sitting in front of a computer texting.
BTW, still waiting for my invite!

I definitely like how much simpler everything is. None of those blasted games or other apps constantly being loaded on my updates, lol.
I checked it out . Definitely for the younger set who feel they have to be connected to thier friends and the net 24/7 . As someone who gets 50 plus phone calls a day and 150 plus emails [the important kind ] it would just be adding another ball to the ball and chain of the cell phone . Iam sure it will be integrated into all the smart phones and be a big hit . My 16 year old daughter thinks it is cool . :D
