You need to post an email account to get an invite. Trust me, no one has run out of invites. I think everyone gets 50, and it keeps getting topped back off (I believe)
Dont know how to set up the link stuff so its just like "gplus.to/whateverNameYouWantHere" but I'm on there. So far the only thing I really like compared to Facebook is how you can put people in Circles and post things to only just certain Circles.
After using G+ for awhile all i can say is it's just like facebook. People are still equally cat-happy and posting youtubelinks as they are on facebooks. Hell. Most post the same thing on both and circles doesn't really affect me either since I dont see a need to split the stuff i write between people.
I find circles to be the best part of G+ though I haven't tested hangouts yet. Circles solve the problem I've been having with all these social sites - I can choose what I share and write to specific people.
For example natively I am from Latvia so there are loads of Latvian speaking followers, but I also have added most if not all people from this thread so it would be stupid to post everything in language nobody here understands. So at the moment I post all my 3d/CG/Game stuff for polycount circle in english and everything else as I wish.
Also gallery look is awesome.

It's the only thing really, apart from that facebook is a lot more complete.
It's the only thing really. Apart from that, facebook is a lot more full of broken, bloated, useless crap with a multitude of spam, bots and phishing crap.
I recently killed my old account (change of gmail e-mail address), so I've got a new Google+ account if anyone is interesting in the bullshit I have to share.
I just realised this google+ thing has gone public, i think. Its let me sign up anyway. So i'll be adding people to circles. Not sure how it all works yet.
Could people please only share to your Polycount Circle in English? I keep getting Russian messages that don't make any sense to me and are therefore not interesting.
If you have a G+ account and a Blogger Blog. (and I expect anything else attached to picasa hosting)
DO NOT SHARE, DELETE, or LOCK the images from your blog in G+ albums. Leave them alone. If you wish to share images create a new album.
In short. Images for G+ and blogger are hosted by picasa. If you delete the images in G+ they are removed from blogger as well. Also, if you share, then unshare the images in G+ this will also block the images from blogger. So now I have to share the entire blog on G+ which i did not want to do.
I found out the hard way. So i'm haveing to re upload all deleted image to the blog.

Fixed!
If you use adblock, and you tick those stupid invited as spam, your facebook account "learns" and wont show it to you anymore.

cheers
Google+ is open for all now...
I'm wondering if we should set up a Polycount group?
It might make it easier for Polycounters to add each other.
