I +1'd that page and nothing new happened. I'm disappointed.

That's got it. Good eye!

"Daily views" is a bad metric to measure this sort of thing and to me implies they don't have impressive interaction figures so they're picking the biggest number they have. The only thing that "daily views" proves is that some large sites have chosen to use it, but this is supposed to be about user adoption.

I think it's a good move that they are making +1's shareable. At first I thought I wouldn't want to be spammed by +1's, but if they aren't shared, then there isn't much point to them anyway, is there? And it might not be so bad. But are they going to make +1-ing a 2-click action, instead of one? I'm not sure what to think about that yet.

This is the feature I've been waiting for to really increase my use of G+.

I find it remarkable that google insist on blogging about a service (google+) that is only available to the limited few.

It leaves a sour taste in ones mouth.

I think GMail had a similar very long-lived invite-only sign-up mechanism. I'm sure part of it is you don't want to join a social network thing with zero social connections.

If anyone needs to get in, plenty of invites left here: http://goo.gl/WTu3Y
