I'm curious, what's with the cruddy URLs? For eg: https://plus.google.com/113882113745075873153 Why the gargantuan number? Yeah, it's in trial, but still..
Might just be me, but with Google opening and closing invitations like this all the time, it's not even "like Gmail all over again". It's much worse. With Google creating this much artificial scarcity to bring buzz, demand and publicity, they are really creating immense expectations and putting themselves up for slaughter. People are going crazy right now trying to get invites, to find the invites closed, their recei…
I also think the hype you're talking about only happens in a very small group of geeks. The average guy on the street still hasn't heard of Google+, and until he has and is willing to try it out, Google will lose the social war. Convincing the fb masses to bother is an extremely difficult task, and Google will need all the hype it can get. Right know, I think they're doing exactly the right thing.

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. Seco…
Don't use real users as testers, jeesh... Maybe google should invest in some QA.
Seriously, I can't find the invite function in UI. Where is it? Do I just add people to a circle?
1. Go to https://plus.google.com/circles
2. The first rectangle before the listing of your contacts should "Add a new person"
3. Enter email address of invitee and hit Enter
4. Enter a name to associate with above email address, select Circle to add into, and hit Save
I'm not entirely sure that this is the 'correct' way - I was just looking around for a place to enter arbitrary email addresses and this seemed like it. A couple of chaps I'd added this way got in, a couple more had to try a few times, and most of them see the "we've temporarily exceeded capacity" message.

Same here, I'd love an invite... email: hn@gom-jabbar.org
Has anyone looked at the source html of the Google+ pages? Anyone have any clue what's going on there? Is this the output from some compiler (Which apparently is generating the css along with the html) or some obfuscation technique?
Why is Google going to be any less evil than Facebook (or Twitter) ? Hasn't everyone read some of the infamous yet numerous quotes from Eric Schmidt (Google CEO, anti-privacy, unless it's his income/house data) ?
This is any antagonistic law enforcement's wet dream - all cloud data is legally accessed without warrants or notification these days - hey this person protested at an anti-war rally or the DNC/RNC conventions: let's lookup all their circles and put them on the no-fly list just to be careful. What would not have happened years ago because of the cost is now super-easy because you've spoon-fed it to them.
Or am I just old?
