    If/when I get an invite and it doesn't suck, I probably will transition from Facebook because hell, most of my other data is with Google anyways.

    as more people (my age) get onto linkedin, i will probably just switch to using that. the only thing I use facebook for is keeping in touch with old friends, I pretty much just need a popular, publicly-ish searchable platform with messaging

    NPR did a thing about it this morning, and exclusivity is something they're shooting for. Hence the limited number of invites. Personally I think Facebook would have to really screw up to lose much market share to Google. They're so well entrenched already.

    They used the same approach with Gmail and Buzz. It's just the way they start out.

    So the interface is pretty sparse, which IMO is good as I hate the clutter of FB and Myspace (when it was relevant). However, there's hardly anyone on the service so it's not super useful at the moment. :/

    Yah, the only reason I see moving to it is if all my friends are... follow the crowd!

    I mean, the point is to connect with friends, and all my friends are on Facebook...sooooooooooooooo

    I scored an invite, but they still won't let me join at the moment. I am sick of facebook so if this stays nice and simple without all the moronic crap then I'll move over there. People are asking for an SDK, but frankly I hope they keep it a closed system. Less privacy issues and less crap.

    Starting private and exclusive is the way to go. It's the same way gmail rolled out, too. I'm excited. I use google for everything from RSS, email, documents, chatting, picasa... Could be good.

    So there's not really any "invites" for plus yet. I've been trying to get people in via the backdoor but I think they fixed it.

    Why don't they give it a better name? Google+ tells you nothing about it.

    I think they came up with the name facebook because they wanted to record a college kids life on the internet, your face is always in books...
