Posted July 10, 201113 yr Google has finally unveiled Google+, the company’s top secret social layer that turns all of the search engine into one giant social network. Google+, which begins rolling out a very limited field test on Tuesday, is the culmination of a year-long project led by Vic Gundotra, Google’s senior vice president of social. The project, which has been delayed several times, constitutes Google’s answer to Facebook. The search giant’s new social project will be omnipresent on its products, thanks to a complete redesign of the navigation bar. The familiar gray strip at the top of every Google page will turn black, and come with several new options for accessing your Google+ profile, viewing notifications and instantly sharing content. The notification system is similar to how Facebook handles notifications, complete with a red number that increases with each additional notice. At its core, Google+ is a social network. The first thing users are introduced to is the Stream. It’s much like the Facebook News Feed, allowing users to share photos, videos, links or their location with friends. As such, i have the ability to invite new users to the Google + Project, so if you would like an invite, throw me a PM with your Gmail email in it and ill send you an invite!

July 10, 201113 yr Author Sorry, i already have facebook, why would i want another social site... Personally, facebook lost me after the past two updates, and its privacy setting changes, I prefer Google + already, as the first thing it introduced me to was the privacy settings. http://i.imgur.com/UXYMqcs.png Policing, The science of Kicking Ass

July 11, 201113 yr Google+ runs out of disk space, floods inboxes with notification spam By Terrence O'Brien posted Jul 11th 2011 12:10PM If you're one of the lucky ones who landed themselves a Google+ account, you might have felt a little less fortunate when your inbox was bombarded by repeated notifications. Vic Gundotra, the Goog's social mastermind, took to the fledgling service to apologize and explain what happened. Turns out the servers in charge of tracking notifications ran out of disk space for about 80 minutes -- causing them to repeatedly send and resend the same messages. In his Plus posting Gundotra admitted, "we didn't expect to hit these high thresholds so quickly, but we should have." Sure, it may have been annoying to get 17 alerts that your old college roommate added you to his circles, but we've got to give credit to Vic for owning this mini fail. The company better hope it can scale up capacity quick -- Google+ invites are still a hot property and it's got a lot of growing to do before it can truly compete with the likes of Facebook.

Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
