Google+ Enters Open Beta

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday September 20, 2011 @05:55AM from the google-hangouts-replace-real-hangouts dept.

First time accepted submitter morgosmaci sends us a Google Blog post about the transitioning of Google+ from a closed "field trial" to an open beta. As part of the update, Google threw in a number of enhancements to the Hangouts feature: an Android client, named hangouts, integration with Google Docs, and a preliminary web service API. And you can finally search for users, posts, and other content.

And yet you _still_ cannot join Google+ if you have a paid-for Google Apps for Domains account.

I think you're starting to get into the "Free as in freedom or free as in beer" territory. This is open as in "available to everyone", not open as in "open source".

Yeah, the next time some says, "Can you please open the door", I am going to punch them in the face.
