It's been a little over a month since Google+ launched, and I've been using it quite a bit during that time. I thought I'd offer my thoughts on the new social media site from Google.

The Bad: Invite-Only

I just want to get this part out of the way first. For a social network to thrive, people need to be able to freely use it and their connections need to be able to freely join. The invite-only atmosphere continues to turn off many new users simply because Google+ is useless without people you know on it.
