Google Plus has 10 million users & a new Android app update.

Google CEO Larry Page gave Google Plus a major plus today, confirming some of the speculation about Google’s invite-only social network.
On Google’s quarterly earning call, Page revealed that more than 10 million people are already in the Google+ field run. Those people are power more than 1 billion shares and 2 billion +1 button clicks each day. It seems that the initial exclusivity for users – a factor often cited as why Google Wave never got off the ground – is so far an effective strategy in creating excitement and “stickiness” for users.
And that’s only the beginning. Google will enable more businesses to join the site next week, and also made an update to its Google+ Android app that addresses some of the concerns that users have shared. Among the new features:
Customize the main stream to show updates from only one particular circle. So instead of seeing a catch all of everyone in your many circles, you can focus on people in your Android Circle or Work Circle directly through a swipe from the homescreen.
Huddles are now less annoying. Many have complained because they received Huddle invitations from strangers and had trouble muting or leaving them, but the latest version lets users dismiss the invitation completely. You can also set the app to only accept messages from people in your circle or extended circles (connected to people in your circle). You can also add an entire circle to a huddle – please do not abuse this, though.
There are other features ranging from the ability to set a photo as a wallpaper to compatibility with the Swype keyboard. Download the update from the Android Market and check out our guide to using the G+ Android app.
UPDATE
We are no longer sending invites through this post. We’ll try and get more people in later. Be sure to follow Androinica.com on Facebook and Twitter to stay up-to-date for the next invite spree.

Isn't it Ironic that I used Facebook to log in so I can get an invite to its competitor? lol
FB actually blocks your email from being seen. can you make a regular comment using Intensedebate?

What can Google plus actually do for you? I'm quite hesitant to join the network as I don't generally know what it can do for me. I'm already used to Facebook and their android and iphone app to the point that it actually makes little sense to transfer to another social network that does the same. I kinda remember how apple's Ping network didn't actually work for most people. I mean, if I'm to experience the same in Google Plus, then my question is, why join?
Sweeeeet Androinica is the best ( if they grant me an invitation wink wink)
Would love an invitation if they're still going,
I would like an invite too. It would be great.

Am I to late ?? Can´t wait, till google+ will be public. An invite would really be great.
I would love an invite.. I've got the app on my phone but can't use it to get a feel for it.. ha ha ha.
