I just read an article on it. Seems that Google is worried about the fact that 75% of members are male.

Nothing I have seen said they were "worried" about it, it was just an interesting piece of data. It's still in Beta, and by invitation only, so the membership is obviously going to be geek-skewed for the time being!

And I post that statement as an admitted geek who is most assuredly female.

If you have heard of Google+ and want to be a part of it, I can send you an invitation, as we are now members. And once you join, we can create a "circle" of Pet Talk folks there! Let me know, post if you'd like an official invite, I don't know how many I am allowed to have, but might as well use them!

And once you are a part of Google+ of course, please "recommend" our sites!

So how do we find each other?

Maybe you can search for me by name? Not quite sure yet, but you can try that - karenwatts ...

I still haven't checked it out, it tells me to update my browser. I'm pretty happy with what I have, so will have to think about it.

Found you. There were three, but your location was listed also.

One +1 of Google+ over Facebook is you can share or post to different circles rather then everybody. I can share with both off roading groups or just one, or I can share to both Pet groups or just one. You can stream to every circle or some or just one. It has "hangouts" for video chats.

Haven't found my invitation.

I'll go send you a new one! Wait a few, and then check your spam folder in case it goes there, okay?
