^^ Skype has allowed screensharing for a while.

Would someone be so kind as to send me a legit invite since the sharing a post with me strategy seems to have failed?

At one point that worked, I guess not anymore, the URL is directly to Google Plus, they patched it so it doesn't loophole into Google Plus.

I ended up getting in eventually. Google+ ended up taking all the info I submitted into Google Profiles and using it instead of having to retype it. Sounds like a good thing for a person to do until they can get into Google Plus.

Have you guys been getting my invites? Just want to make sure.

holy **** just took the tour. it looks like software engineering at its best.

everything looks so streamlined it's awesome. and circles on FB? I've had an account for 3 years and wondered if it even existed but like someone said it's extremely tedious to set up.

Invites are up again.

Yeah, I've watched TV shows with friends over skype using that method. ichat is cool because of how you can share images, documents, ppt, etc. but it's lacking a full screen share. I was hoping G+ would be a combination of all these features.

Anyone care to invite the 'Hoff?

 

[worldrunner]

is google+ really as great as I am hearing? or is another hip fad that will drop off a little once the prestige is lifted?

I thought I invited you already.

If you've been invited and it didn't grant instant access do not worry because it will eventually. There's no point in getting invited again because you're already in the queue.
