As far as I know people won't be able to invite others, so there is no invite to share. You'll only be able to recommend (8) friends, and they will have priority on the others. BTW: I am in the developer preview but I haven't received the invite for the real thing. I asked to the others in the sandbox but it doesn't look like there's any invite being received so far.

Thanks for sharing this. There is definitely a good chance this thread is a lost cause.

It's like a HN version of the recent Reddit exploit...

According to google's official blog (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/surfs-up-wednesday-go...):

- They're sending 100.000 invites starting from today

- They'll ask some of the invited users to nominate others to also receive early invites

So they're probably not giving all of them away today, not everyone will get invites to share and if you do they won't be direct invites but nominations.
