I haven't seen any hype surrounding google+ except for HN and other similar communities. I don't think the regular FB user is even aware that google+ is in testing phase, or that google is even working on anything like it. Heck, how many have heard of google wave outside of the geek circle?

For the UK the BBC news, daily mail, the sun etc to name a few are running the story.

Yeah, add the guardian to that. I think most outlets are talking about it.

Suspense is all very well, but Google really need to let us in soon or they're going to miss out on the wave of free hype.

Anyone who fancies sending me an invite, my email is jonnie at cleverna dot me

I've been sent an invite, thanks to whoever sent that, but it turns out I can't use the damn thing because I have a google apps account set up for my domain, just like everyone else here probably does.

Plus requires a google profile in order to use it, and Apps accounts can't have profiles. Apparently someone from google has said this will be coming "soon."

WTF google? Hasn't it occurred to you that the set of power users/evangelists/early adopters and the set of people who have their own apps account on their domain might overlap a bit?

This isn't so much dropping the ball, it's bordering on an own goal.

Any googlers reading this: sort it out. Or go and bother the nearest person responsible for sorting it out, lest my disappointment spill over into murderous rage.

You need to set up profile switching.

I didn't realize it had hit mainstream media, I guess swedish media is behind as usual (or I'm reading the wrong sort of mainstream media)

I thought the same about Chrome when it was released, then one day there was a link in the Google Search homepage telling everyone about it.
