I don't use either and have no plans to.

#83Needs a "who cares!?" option.
Oh there is. You don't click on the link.
Which is pretty much the opposite of what you did. So presumably you're asking for such an option for "a friend." ;)

#84You should add an option for those that haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. Some people, including me, just aren't that cool yet :)
I'm in the same boat because I have a Google Apps account, so Google Profiles (and thus Google+) isn't available to me (yet?).
Same situation here. I'd love to know if this is ever coming to Apps accounts.

Agreed. Count me in the "I'd like to have a chance to test it over Facebook" section ;-)
If you guys have gmail accounts I'll invite you. EDIT: HN usability fail navigation Tip #97: The email field in your profile is invisible to others. Put your email in the About field so that others can see it.
I'll take one if you still have them. Thanks!

Wasn't that the same thing said about Facebook circa 2005-2006?
The situation then was vastly different. The concept of social networking was still being defined. facebook is social networking in most people's minds. The concept has been solidified. Google's recent offering does nothing to reinvent the concept. Also, social networking was still something mostly young people were into. The network-effects now are much greater in magnitude than they were then. The biggest factor wa…
In my view, Facebook is a bit degenerate at this point and not getting better.

I've gotten an invite through the real invite thing and the "tag trick", but i still get the "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon" message. I'm starting to think that google just doesn't love me.
Keep trying. It can take a while. It was nearly 24 hours between when I received an email with a join link and finally getting past the "temporarily exceeded capcity" message.
Its been over 36 hours for me and I'm still not in.

I always feed like a second class citizen with my google apps account.
I've seen the phrase "second class citizen" used a lot recently and I usually think it's a bit over the top.
In this case though it seems about right - I'm a total Google fanboy but as an Apps user I'm just not allowed to use their biggest new product!

This hasn't worked for a couple of days at least. Yes, the invites go out, but the signup page only intermittently accepts logins (presumably as they open/close the floodgates).
I just joined G+ 2 hours ago with such an invite.
I must be missing something. When I select the 'view post' on the invite email, the interface tells me that I need an invite. Quite a conundrum!

My gmail is in my profile. I would appreciate an invite. Thanks!
