So, I have been hearing so much about google+, but to me it seems alot like facebook with some add-ons. How do you think it will turn out? Also, hopefully if anyone has a spare invite could they send it to nick.wittek9(at)gmail.com. It would be much appreciated! I hope this isn't breaking any rules or anything, even after that noob video 0.0.
*UPDATE* - If anyone wants to be nice and try this:
Create a new Circle and call it Invite. Add a new contact to the circle by using "Add a new person" and enter ONLY the Emailadress.
Save it and view the newschannel of the newbuilt group by clicking "View stream for this circle".
Post a new statusupdate in the channel. Hover over the blue button with the Circle name. Activate the option "Notify about this post", also there should be a checkmark on "Also email
XXX people not yet using Google+" and then press "share".
The users in the Circle "Invite" should now receive a email with your status update. Inside this email should be a link "Show post of YYY or comment".
By clicking the link you should land on the Google+ start page. Registration should now be possible. At some times you can't register it only helps to try later again!
Thanks in advance!
All I have been seeing about invites is that they don't work at the moment Probably too many people trying to jump on it right now.
I've been receiving invites from a couple of colleagues but the only thing that happens is that Google+ is telling me "Already invited? We're out of capacities right now, please try again later."
About Google+ itself: yes, it's like Facebook but *without* addons (as there's no API, yet). The only big difference seems to be that the way you post information to "groups" (called "circles" in Google+) should be better in keeping you from informing your boss that your jobs sucks
Maybe google doesnt like SE puts fb stuff to every menu in their android phones?
No Invites at the moment but a workaround
Create a new Circle and call it Invite. Add a new contact to the circle by using "Add a new person" and enter ONLY the Emailadress.
Save it and view the newschannel of the newbuilt group by clicking "View stream for this circle".
Post a new statusupdate in the channel. Hover over the blue button with the Circle name. Activate the option "Notify about this post", also there should be a checkmark on "Also email
XXX people not yet using Google+" and then press "share".
The users in the Circle "Invite" should now receive a email with your status update. Inside this email should be a link "Show post of YYY or comment".
By clicking the link you should land on the Google+ start page. Registration should now be possible. At some times you can't register it only helps to try later again!
My Google ID is [email protected]. So if someone with an account wants to try it out please include me in the invitation circle!

what does "Watch this topic for replies" do on this website (which can be found at the bottom of a post)? i thought it makes a list somewhere in my login account or somehow alerts me so i can more easily trace the ones i'm interested in piled up in those millions and millions of posts. can somebody pls explain, thanks?
No it doesn't make a list somewhere but send you a mail when a new message is posted in a thread.
well, that's strange then, cos i've never received any notifications by email when there's a new reply (whether it's my own topics or ones i want to watch). i've just re-checked my "profile" and my email addrs is correct, and that all the notifications were "yes" (as attached). and every time i post, "Notify me when a reply is posted" is also ticked. is there another setting somewhere?
That's odd. I usually get duplicate notification (2 messages per update) but only for the last topic I posted to. I don't think they save a list, just one topic per user.
Works ok for me
I watch about 15 topics & receive an email after each post. Although it would be nice to see all sucscribed topics in a list.
so wot am i doing wrong?? can anyone see anything suspicious in my profile settings?
Your profile settings look ok. Does your email account have some kind of spam filter? It is possible that the messages get blocked for some reason by the mail server. You should try a different email (there are plenty of free ones out there)
oh my gosh... I changed from a hotmail to another email addrs...and it's working, thanks a million. It must have been the hotmail spam filter.
Hi! I've been working on a word building game with a friend for the past few months and we'd love some brutal honesty from the community.
Please download the app and let us know what you think. Do you think the gameplay is fun? Also, we'd love to hear some suggestions regarding the overall style and UI of the app. We're both developers and did the UI ourselves, so we're sure there's room for a LOT of improvements, but we first want to know what people actually think about the game before hiring a professional graphics designer, since our budget is very limited.
I can't provide links to our Google Plus community or Google Play since I'm new at the forum, so I'm attaching the apk here.
If you have any feedback, you can just post something on the community or send us an email at: [email protected]
How to play
The idea is that you're given a board with some fixed words on it and 7 letters. You have 2 minutes to form as many words on the board as possible. In order for the words to be valid, they must use at least one of the letters of the fixed words on the board. You can also chain words together to get more bonuses.
Screenshots
See attached documents
Thanks so much!
Pd. The only major feature missing from this version is play with your Facebook friends (we're working on it), but you can still play against a random opponent or another user if you know their username.
I just tried to start your app, and here is what happened: I was asked to enter my facebook id or an email adress. I don't want to involve facebook here, so I entered an email. Then the dialog "Your email address is not registered. Do you want to create an account?" appeared, and I clicked on "OK". After that the startscreen appeared again (enter facebook or email address), and the app behaved as if I haven't registered my email adress yet. What did I do wrong?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually you didn't do anything wrong. After you hit the "OK" to register that email, you should've been taken directly to the app. So, definitely a bug, I'll take a look at the log files to see if I find anything.
Hi...how can I prevent this forum from sending me email? Every time someone quotes one of my posts, gmail receives an email. I have turned off all email notifications in the settings for this website. If I set gmail to not notify me then I receive NO notifications on my phone that my gmail inbox has received an email...obviously I don't want that...since friends email me etc. I thought it might be a Chrome thing...but I have set everything there to never notify me of anything.
The only way I can stop this forum from emailing me when someone quotes my post is to disable notifications in gmail...since I can't handpick websites I don't want to receive email from...that just cancels ALL notifications as I said before.
By the way, I am NOT 'subscribing' to any threads either...so that's not the problem.
So what am I doing wrong?
thanks
Have you tried this:
1 - Click on Settings on the top right, next to your username.
2 - From the options on the left, choose the last one titled "Settings" under "Mention System"
3 - Check the last option, titled "Quote Emails" which has the description "Check this box if you do not wish to receive an email whenever you are quoted in a post."
4 - Save changes
Should work. Else, use filters in gmail to auto delete such emails...
Wow thanks a lot
'Mentions'...the only thing I didn't check. That'll teach me!
Hello,
Can someone invite me to use new "Inbox" mail client by google?
invite me tooo please
Just for everyone who wants an invite, send a request to [email protected]
All this information is on the app page. They can be kinda slow handing out invites.
Got mine today, but the option to send new invites is not available for me
AFAIK, regular folk can't invite, only Google staff at the moment.
Edit: I stand corrected - I had three invites, and have invited the first three on this thread - @FSadino , @Rashiel , and @mbwsutherland
On the webpage, not the app: Once you get Inbox, you'll have invitations to send to your friends. This is how to send an invitation:
Open Inbox.
At the bottom right, go to the Create button .
Choose Invite to Inbox .
Not again!! There's already a thread in android appa and games. Go there please!
Please read this thread .....

# MESSAGE FOR MODERATORS #
The following, DISPOSABLE Gmail email addressed were created by me - JUST NOW - for the SOLE purpose of spreading Google Inbox invites. I DO NOT use the addresses, I DO NOT CARE if they get spam, there are solely for generating Google inbox invites. They have passwords NOTHING LIKE my own password, and fake credentials. Please, PLEASE DO NOT remove the email addresses in this post, as - again - they are EMPTY, do not contain ANY contacts or contact info, many thanks.
Here - these two (disposable) Gmail accounts have just been created, and are Google Inbox activated and ready. All you need to do is add one of these accounts to your Android device (turn off ALL SYNC on the temporary account, if I were you), then launch (or install then launch) Google Inbox app ON THE ANDROID DEVICE, then go to Inbox app, and "Settings >> Manage Accounts" and select YOUR Gmail account, then REMOVE the disposable account from your device(s), as YOU are now Google Inbox activated on YOUR account. So, here are the credentials needed:
username #1: [email protected]
password: "sillypassword"
username #2: [email protected]
password: "sillypassword"
If you can't understand what I mean about switching accounts, read this:

Enjoy
Didn't work for me, as soon as I switch accounts, as directed, within inbox, I get the "you don't seem to have an invite yet" message.

Yep double checked it again, from scratch, no dice. Well thanks for the effort. If anyone DOES get this to work, PM me if you have a moment with some insight.
Hi, I think its best you just delete those accounts as I couldnt login without answer a security question.
I thanked you for trying to help. Keep up the good work.

Switching does not work
The switching trick dosent work although the given ID and password worked.
P.S the first id was already changed by some one
Okay folks, it appears my plan didn't quite work out. The reason I didn't directly say "Hey, I have a load of invites to give away - come and get them" is because:
#1 My personal email address is private and I don't want a flood of strangers begging me for invites, via it.
#2 Refer to #1.
Sorry it didn't work out. I have given one invite out, but I'm sure a little patience will do you ALL good, and strengthen your characters. In this instant gratification world, it's extremely healthy and edifying to learn that you cannot ALWAYS get EVERYTHING at the click of a button. I had to wait a week for my invite (hard life, isn't it) so I suppose many of you will have to do that too. Patience is a virtue, so learn to be virtuous.
God bless, take care.
@glossywhite
do you know gmail has a option that saves the IP address of the most recent computer visited GMAIL ID. It can compromise anybody security. :good:
Anyone that is still interested in getting any invites can feel free to check out the main thread for them located here:
