Do you understand that they need to test it?
They're going to test a service that's made for 10k people by letting 5 users in? Adjust numbers for scale as you see fit.

I don't follow your reasoning. You don't know how many people are in the program. Just because you aren't, doesn't mean nobody is. What would satisfy you? If they did not test at all and just released it to everyone?
I tried wave and it was stupid, but even before using it I saw a presentation and thought it was stupid. And we all know that buzz was a piece of crap coded over a long weekend.
This actually looks like a real product. The way they are handling privacy really holds promise, and the hangout (not that I'd use it) I could see doing very well among teenagers with nothing better to do.

When you get invited you get invitations to pass out. Geesh. Maybe look into it before you thought barf.Nothing would satisfy me because I'm not really concerned about it. I just think it's weird they wouldn't give invitees their own invites to let their friends in to test it out. That's the point of a social network, no? A developer gives an invite to one of his buddies and his buddy checks it out, but then realizes he only knows the one guy (maybe a couple more) and there's absolutely zero content, so he quits visiting the site after the first or second time.
Just my unqualified thoughts, I'm sure they know what they're doing.

does anyone have access yet here? sounds like it's like no one lol...
*feels smug about having google+ in the first hour of the announcement*

I heard about this when I woke up. Thought I'd hav eto pull some strings with my google friends, but when I came back from my morning workout I already got an invite. Lemme see if I can invite people first.
Edit: The Google employees got 10 invites each, but it seems the people they invite don't get invites... lol.
A limited-invite beta for a social network? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?
For every other beta program like gmail, wave and voice, this was the case.I'm going by what was posted above:
foghorn, if you have proof to the contrary, please share.
For those wondering WTF google+ is (first I'd heard of it):

edit: Not available (yet) for google apps users anyway. It does look kinda cool though. Certainly more control versus Facebook, which would be nice.

I'm going by patterned behavior. What are you going by, gut feeling on day one?
