Yeah, it's a bit like the tags in GMAIL.

Circles are essentially tags for your contacts so you can divide everyone up into groups. By default your news feed thingy shows content from everyone but then you cal click on a "circle" to show content just from people in that group.

I think most of us on here have setup a GRCADE circle then added forum members on it. For me personally, that's about all I've got at the mo - none of my mates have signed up yet the slackers :lol:

Trying to wangle an invite myself too. Can anyone PM me if possible? Don't want to stick my email ad in here.

Worked for me.. after that you can login with same account on PC and you're in. Not sure if works with other mobile browsers or if it's just Safari..

This just worked for me. Cheers.

Add her to one of your circles, using her email address. Then send a message to that circle, and she should get an invite to her inbox. Should being the operative word...

Thank's for the invite, Kiera :D

I've added people from this thread. gplus.to/CarlosGR

Oh, and this is mighty handy for getting your mates onboard. It migrates all your photos from Facebook to Picasa web albums which backends Google+ Photos.

The number of times I've scanned down OT looking for this thread, but missed it because it doesn't start with "Google Plus". Still, I guess that first part of the title is essential, so we don't go thinking that this is the rllmuk Google Plus Discussion Thread, or something.

Do you get an email notification when someone invites you? Carlos has invited me twice but it just keeps giving me the "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon." message EVERY strawberry floating TIME.

Nothing can be done about that, unfortunately. If you keep checking back you should get in eventually.
