You don't need to email, when you share something you can pick who you're sharing with, and that can be an individual user.

shit sucks, unless it kills facebook then why do I need 2 social networks?

I am excited by the potential of this, but feel it's probably going to be another Wave.
It's integration with Picasa is fucking excellent though, and I like that you can share Plus content with non-plus users.
If I upload pics to Facebook to share with friends and family, friends can see it but my older family can't. On G+ I can share via email as well, which is nice.

i actually think the invite thing killed the momentum.

I was reading an article earlier today, and noticed all of the social media sharing bits at the bottom of it, and saw FB shares in the 500 range, and G+ at 11 shares. If that's the general indication of things, doesn't look like G+ is the success Google had hoped for.

I don't think momentum is killed at all. I'm guess some people would like it to be but they are growing like crazy even in closed field test trial.
Google now 25+ million users and the users using the service is very long according to ComScore.

Only 1 month in and they have 25+ million users.
In comparison, MySpace had the fastest growth out of any network and it took them 20 months to reach the same number Google reached in a month.
- I just re-read my post. Awful. It's like I was drunk :) Hope you still understand what I meant heh.dasDesigner
- You also have to ocnsider the state of social media in the timeframe of each company's growth.locustsloth
- Each of these other companies tread a path for G+, each innovating in their own waylocustsloth
- G+ is almost like an aggregate of the features of some of the others. The circles thing was the only really new feature, and not enough to keep people's attention, IMHOlocustsloth
- snazzy enough to keep people's attentionlocustsloth

^ yeah but Google already has a massive user base interested in how they are trying to expand. None of the others did and more or less grew from word of mouth and marketing. Takes more time, its more about staying power now, that graph could easily be a sharp spike shortly if they aren't careful.
I'm not inclined to think it will become like Wave, I think they'll just slowly roll it into the over all Google experience. But it needs time just like the other successful social networks.
