Hi, I got into the first 25 comments in the Google Social Blog but
haven't received an invite, does anyone know anything about this or
can anyone help me?
My YouTube name is DarkXDragon (Even though it says it up there
*shrug*).

Ok, the thing about this is...its great. I love it.
To be honest, I will never use it. But they first day I got it, I
wrote down what all my friends watched then creeped them out the very
next day by telling them what they were watching.
I wouldn't like it if my friends did that to me. Don't continue with
this feature, its of no use to anyone.
BTW: If you are going to continue with it, put the bar fixed at the
top of the page, so it doesn't move whilst you scroll.
