yes but you would think that if you get notified that you were put in a circle you would think "I wonder what it is?" and go to your friend's page to find out and see the circle you were placed in

No, you will never find out what circle(s) your friends have put you in (unless they tell you). You can only see that you are in a circle, never which circle you're in. When you go to someone's profile page it says if you have that person in a circle. If that person also has you in one or several of their circles it just tells you: "You are in John's circles too". You're overthinking this imo.
 
You will get the invite but when you click it the site has been telling people to wait.

yep that is what happen to me. I have 2 invite in my inbox and I can not sign up saying oh it maxed out blah blah blah.

It seems like Google and flub this one up.

ah ok i see i just assumed that google would do a better job
 
yea i got an invite, but once u click sign up after getting it, it says there is no more room and to come back soon. that just means come back when its all finished :mad:

The best thing is to keep trying throughout the day. There have been people who have had it work, when it hadn't earlier. Its annoying me a bit now though, i want to get it set up because im moving my photos to Picasas online web storage and you get more free storage if you have a Google+ account :(

are u sure there letting people in slowly like that, because i have tied like 5 times in the last 2 days, not much but i hope there is a chance.
 
It has been hit and miss
I'm in and I have gotten a few others in as well

because i got an e-mail from friend saying: so and so has invited you to google+, in the email it says he shared something with me so i click to view it and it asks me to join. then click "join" and i get the page that says that there full. so just like that i keep trying (im not doing anything wrong? lol).
 
ah ok i see i just assumed that google would do a better job

I actually think they have done a good job with circles
Much better than FB integration

I can arrange my contacts in multiple circles and manage access and visibility easily

I think your fears and conclusions are not warranted based on my usage

There were back door ways of making it happen, but most have been closed down now... but I am sure they will open more access soon. I like what I have seen so far. A lot.
 
I got someone in today. I think he was very persistent.:p I invited 11 others and so far they are no shows.

So far I'm much happier with it than facebook; it just makes more sense.

There is still a whole lot of chatter going on amongst the testers and developers and things are getting changed frequently. I can see why they don't want to overwhelm themselves with a lot of traffic at this point.

Click the Learn More thing. That is how I registered. Clicking that link took me to the registration page. This was on Thursday (or was it Wednesday?).
 
I was able to get in with an invite, but could only update my profile. Photos and circles were dead links for me. Hopefully, Google+ becomes fully live soon.

I like it thus far and what limited actions i can do with it.

Well, it seems Google+ is not very ipad friendly. Once i got on my MBP, i could do everything.

^Just tried pasting that into my browser and got Error 404, am i missing something?

An invite wouldn't go amiss if anyone has a spare one lying around, digitally speaking of course :p

Should work now? As far as i know with the invites, signing up is still on hold, i've had one since saturday and still cant use it :(
 
Yeah it's working now, just wish I could get in!

It's weird because I don't ever remember getting this excited about Facebook.

I got into facebook really late. I didn't want an account but all my mates kept pestering me so i finally made one. Its so full of rubbish. Spend half the time hiding horoscope type apps from my feed. I much prefer twitter, so im hoping i will love G+

I use the F.B. Purity extension to clean up that garbage.
