I’m sure everyone is tired of hearing about Google Circles, but it’s nice. You can find me on it here. Are invites still a thing? If so, just send me your email address.
It’s still early on and I have my complaints and suggestions but so far I’m finding it easier to manage than Facebook, where friend lists & groups are annoying. And it’s so far been a lot more social than Twitter, I feel like I’m discovering interesting people on it and conversations are happening more. Some of that could be the novelty of the new platform but I feel like it promotes casual socializing in a way I haven’t really felt since BBS’s. Also the Google Hangout multi-video chat is fun.
The other point in Google’s favor is that I don’t trust Facebook and never have. Google has a good record of openness and being pro-web, whereas Facebook has been intent on creating a locked-in walled garden from early on. I believe my interests align more with Google than Facebook, but time will tell.

George, I added you to a circle but I’m not at home and the mobile site doesn’t say if it invited you. When I get back tomorrow I’ll make sure.

Yeah, I don’t think those invites went out while I was at the cottage. I just re-did them and you all should get them now.

Hi Brad – Yeah FB’s various “issues” annoy me. Do you have any invites left you can share?
Thx!

Long-time listener, first-time poster (Brad Sucks fans are like cockroaches… for every one who posts a comment, there are a thousand more lurking)… Any gPlus invites left?
Thanks for the music.

And I totally agree with him! I’ve been listening to you for years but never before posted, just as I know many more people listen to you but just aren’t very social about it.
Oh, yeah… Any invites left? UneasyLoner@hotmail

European fan here from far away, just wanted to let you know, that you are awesome. Keep up your musical work because my ears think it’s brilliant. Would like an invite if some are available. Thanks and good luck!

Really appreciate your music Brad, keep up the work. Anxious to see your next CD come out. If there’s any G+ invites left it’d be swell if you could pass one my way.
