luksamuk Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I have just received the invitation I requested from Google Team. And, If I'm not wrong, it looks like Twitter. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I thought it was an instant message thingamadoo. My friend sent me an invite, but said friend is the only other person I know who uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midiman Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 it's great. except when it decides to slow your browser down for a good 25 seconds, or suddenly crash ( it is a beta however ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesker Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I got an invite, signed in once and never used it again. I personally see no use for it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 It's basically an active message board/instant message tool. Pretty neat, you can have active discussions with large groups of friends, definitely NOTHING like twitter in any way shape or form. The only problem is you need lots of friends/people using it to be of any entertainment, value, or use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I can really only see it being useful if you're working on some sort of group project. Otherwise, it's really just kinda silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midiman Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 it's real potential shines when you use it with a group or collaboratively. It's pretty much useless on your lonesome unless you like to document things, but gets far better as more people are involved. It's probably going to come out of preview mode in a few months or days and when that happens it'll end up being a staple of google users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 The only problem is you need lots of friends/people using it to be of any entertainment, value, or use. That's the problem we're all having on this D: It'll take time for people to get used to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I mean for all purposes it's a glorified message board created by google, with more realtime capabilities than normal message boards allow (you can see what your friend is typing in real time and even edit their posts before it's even posted).
