How To Use Google Plus

Step one should be make sure you are not a longtime/loyal google apps/organization (whatever the term is) user.

I'm really surprised that you cannot use G+ if you host your email with google. Its mind boggling for so many reasons...

The article lost me at "Waiting for a Google Plus invite?"

I'm not waiting for an invite and don't plan to use Google Plus. Won't use Facebook either. It's not like everybody who wasn't on FB is now jumping on the G+ bandwagon.
