Ugh, I have an email titled "... invited you to join Google+" but it's really just a bunch of shared items and clicking them doesn't let me in. Anyone care to invite me? gabriel.d@gmail.com

Sometimes following the links from the shared items (if they weren't public) will allow you to create a profile and sometimes it won't. The invite button and interface was up for a very short time and is already gone again so the shared links method is likely the only way to get in at the moment.

If anyone need an invite, feel free to send me an email for the same. Email is in the profile.

Edit - I have got around 30 requests. I will process them in FIFO manner, by the end of the day.

And it's already closed. Honestly, what's with this stupid game?

not sure if you need an acct to read the post:

Hey Google+ folks!

As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites.

As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial.

Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet).

So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again.

We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system.

Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!

I just was able to invite 2 family members, 2 friends, and several people who posted on my blog asking me how to get invites. I am out of invites now. I invited people who I thought would really use it. I must say that Google+ is very well done. I enjoy it every day. BTW, a little off topic, but I have blasted Google on several occasions about dropping Google Wave. Turns out I complained for nothing: the latest Wave…

I'm glad to hear that Wave is doing well. I thought about grabbing it and trying it just to see how it was doing and maybe contributing, but just never had the time. It makes me happy that it has a real chance of survival.

Annoyed that people with a Google Apps account can't join google+, when trying to join the error message is:

"Oops... you need a Google profile to use this feature."

"Google Profiles is not available for your organization."

This is apparently something that Google has been promising for a while now, I also recently went through the pain of migrating my domain over to supposedly link up to Google Profile, but it's still not ready yet: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Apps/thread?tid...

Anyone have an idea on when I can use my "real" e-mail rather than creating a dummy @gmail.com account?
