Google introduces Google Spaces Here's what I've seen so far:
1) It appears to be a sort of topic-based sort-of Hangouts/Collections discussion/messaging environment, with link sharing, YouTube sharing, etc., and simpler invite mechanisms. 2) It is available both on mobile apps and desktop. 3) It appears to have direct invite mechanisms for Facebook but (as far as I can tell so far) not for G+! However, a universal link invite system does exist. 4) Posts are white text on a hot pink background. No, I'm not kidding. That's what I'm seeing so far. I don't recommend looking at those pages for very long if you don't want fascinating semi-permanent afterimages. 5) You can access it (if it's rolled out in your direction yet) at: http://spaces.google.com Or if you're really feeling adventurous, try this invite link I created as an experiment.
