Without anyone else there (they cut off the invites minutes after i got in), it s hard to tell. So far its quieter...xhonzi said:
Break it down for me, oh-oh. In what ways does it differ from the facebooks?

I got into Google+. It's a stripped down Facebook, I'd like it a lot if I had more friends on there. I wish the Invite function would turn back on. It's hard to beta test a social network without a network of socialness.
I only joined facebook once I had the sense that it might be the last network I'd have to join. After joining flixster, shelfari, and others.
But seriously, it seems to be more of a social collaboration tool. You do updates and have timelines, but you can't make an update until AFTER you choose which groups of friends to share it with (or make it public). That way you could share Star Wars links with your Star Wars friends, religious links with your church friends, etc. It also has a great group video chat feature and group messaging.
