Seriously, there's a lot of people that are on the "in" already here, but for the rest of us, either let me see what all the fuss is about already or STFU with the incessant "I'm cool you're not" posts about this thing.
"How many people did you work with on Google+?
We're a surprisingly small team (esp. by Google's standards), but we try to make up for it with passion and speed."
To which I ask, how many people did you work with on Google+?
If you're going to spam my favourite technical website with pr for an application that I'm not even allowed to use, are you at least going to send me an invite?

Hey everyone, let's all completely stop talking about G+ until run4yourlives gets an account.
Point still stands though. I'd prefer that we not turn this site into a "look what I have that you don't" PR session. It's so much more than that.
Especially since you can provide a wonderful amount of feedback to the team by, ironically, using Google+ itself.
But why do need to use my twitter info to login !! And on top of that "anyasq" can tweet on my behalf !Sorry !! Aint gonna happen.
Sorry, we're working on allowing other login mechanisms. The publishing permission is so you can tweet out questions you ask easily if the box is checked. We never misuse any permissions.

Unless you have a good reason for forcing really terse questions (even shorter than Twitter's 140-character limit), please, please make the tiny text input into a textarea. Or if you want to be fancy, start it off as a one-line textarea but expand it if I start typing more. I have to write my question somewhere else and paste it to actually be able to read it back. Otherwise, really great job hustling to get great pe…
Thanks. I think we're going to lift or lessen the constraint on question length. We were trying to have them fit in a tweet, and also we noticed that most interview questions are relatively short, but we've gotten that feedback quite a lot.
No thanks.

That being said, given all the products that had to co-operate somewhat for this to be released I doubt they were 'small'.

"See who I follow, and follow new people. / Update your profile." No thanks.

Too late, somebody invited me as a result of that comment. :-) Point still stands though. I'd prefer that we not turn this site into a "look what I have that you don't" PR session.

It's a really standard cycle on HN - not the first or last time it will happen. If it gets too irritating, then someone will write a browser extension to hide all stories about Google+, or adapt an existing extension (as they did with Bitcoin and a bunch of other topics that briefly took over the site).
