MiscTips & Tricks

Psst…Check Out this Google+ Cheat Sheet

477

It’s true…we’ve gone a bit Google+ crazy here at Phandroid. We reckon some of you have too, judging by the amount of people clamoring for invites (P.S. they’re open again). So once you’re finally in to the exclusive club we call G+, we understand that things can get a bit confusing. It’s the combination of familiar social network layout with all new tools and shortcuts that can get tricky, but luckily during my whirlwind adventures around Google’s social network I have stumbled across this handy cheat sheet. It comes to us courtesy of Google Plus-er Simon Laustsen, and, boy, am I thankful . You will be, too.

  87. Can anyone please send me an invite???

    Dadheller@gmail.com

    Please anyone. Been trying for awhile now

    1. Got it

      1. You sir are awesome I got the email but it still says I’m not invited.

        Should work later right?

        1. They’ve been turning the faucet off and on. I wanted to help people take advantage of it while it was in full flow. I’d think that once you had the invite, it would just be a matter of timing. I sure am enjoying it so far.

          1. Angelzdad@gmail.com I would love an invite thanks in advance
