sent. sent.

i wonder if it's going to limit me or what. it has a small mail message icon over your username right now. i think it was saying earlier that the messages might be delayed. someone else might need to take this over it might start rate limiting me?

i can't tell for sure though.

yeah i don't know what's going on.

the people i've added it says this when i hover over their names:
"Sharing via email only." :(

the way i did it was click on "Find and Invite" and i plugged the invitee names in. but i also read in this awful link the invites were shut down.

i'll be careful not to share shit that will get emailed to you.

Yeah, their wording in several areas is absolute garbage.

I was excited to get on here but I'm not convinced the video "hangout" feature alone will be able to sufficiently differentiate it from Facebook. And I don't see any other major ones that will tip the scales...we'll see! Go google+ go!

Speaking of giant groups, has anyone done a hangout with 5+ people? Can everyone talk/hear each other at the same time or do you have to take turns somewhat?

Fuck I just forgot my video still doesn't work...arg

Yeah Sao Paulo kind of sucks. As far as Br goes it's probably the ugliest part. But I do miss the churrascarias.

Hoping to be able to make it down there for the world cup. We'll see.

nny: I know... I think in Rio it's worse though... In SP they're more isolated and far from the main city areas I think. Here everywhere you look you see a favela.
