I'm interested in checking out the Google+ project, which is google's direct competition to facebook. http://www.google.com/+
At the moment, it is invite only. Hoping someone here can send me an invite, if they have any available.  |

They're not letting anyone in at the moment, with or without an invite:quote: Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.

That's what they put on the front page from the beginning. But persons have been getting invites from friends who are already in. At least, that's what my sources tell me. |

By having this: "Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon." Not a good start if they can not cope with the test users.. |

It does seem they have capped the number of users who are able to log in to the service at the same time, based on this news article: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387896,00.asp
And they disabled the invite option from last night, due to the demand.
@David, space or server capacity is never a problem for Google. Probably they had google+ running on a few servers that could accommodate a limited amount of users for testing, but underestimated the interest. Whenever they are ready to open, I am sure they can slap together some more warehouses of servers to accommodate everyone.  |

I know it makes me sound stupid, but how do I send invites? I got in last week, but I can't find how to invite others. Anyhow, it looks like it's open at the time I sent this reply. |

I need an invite HuwR. When I visited the link from an Email, it said it was closed. |

Same, the French version of Google + is also closed by invitation only |

send me the email address you want me to send the invite to and I will send you one. It was accepting them yesterday as that is how I got one. I won't be able to sort it till tonight (UK time) as I am out most of the day.

Cliff, when viewing your stream, look at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar.
I'm in now as well (here), so if anyone needs an invite, shoot me a mail with the address you want me to send it to.

Looking smart there Shaggy, with your suit and all. Think this is the first time I am putting pictures to names on here. |

I wonder if we could start a Snitz Circle? |

Forget the circle, I'd love to do a Hangout w/ Davio, Shaggy, Huw, Rui, MarcelG, Classic, and a few others.  |
