If anyone can send me an invite or the exploit I would appreciate it: chicubfan at gmail.com Thanks!

I would also appreciate an invite - [email protected]

It worked. If I get better internet signal at work I will try and exploit a few more in.

So I'm in...and totally confused. I imported my contacts from Yahoo (apparently this is the best way to import Facebook contacts) and only a few showed up. I dragged them to a circle....does that send an invite?

Check your email.

Sent you a PM if you're still sending them out. Thanks!

I'll be interested to see how this pans out. I don't have a facebook account and don't plan on ever having one. But I do use a lot of Google services already and this seems better-thought-out and more useful than Wave or Buzz, from the write-ups that I've seen. If they can make it feel like a natural extension of all the Google stuff you already do, I think it could at least put a small dent in facebook usage for some. I guess we'll see.

From what I understand....

Dragging them to a circle does not send an invite, but if that person creates a Google+ account they will automatically be in that circle when their Google+ account is activated.

To send an invite I have created a circle for invite requests, add that person's email manually into the circle, and then share a post to that circle. When you share the post there is a checkbox that says something like "include an e-mail to a non-Google member of this circle" That's how I sent shadowhawk2020 an invite.

How many regular invites do you get?

Amator

As far as I can tell, I don't have any. I don't see a listing for invites anywhere on my home screen or in settings.

Dr Mabuse

Yeah they are opening and closing them, demand is overwhelming beyond what Google expected.

I don't see any invites on mine either. Unless it's that 'Circles' shit.

rocketsauce

Ha, I saw an article yesterday that the invites are starting to pop up on Ebay for like $30

Will this be like LiveJournal, which fizzled almost immediately once it was no longer invite-only and "exclusive"?

rocketsauce

Is google voice still invite only?

RichC2

Possibly, it might also pull a Facebook and fail once it's no longer exclusive to universities.

Groucho

No.Forgot about Facebook. That sure was a fiasco. Long live MySpace!

Amator

Possibly, but it's easy to forget to go to LiveJournal (or MySpace, or Wave, etc.) and have it gradually fade out from your memory.

Being that you will receive notifications on any Google service I think will let it stick around in people's minds long enough to gain ground.

rocketsauce

Wait, you're saying Facebook failed once it wasn't exclusive to Universities? I'm sure google would mind that kind of "fail".

Groucho

True for people like me who use a lot of Google services. But it seems a lot of people's ONLY web experience any more is via Facebook.

Timber

mgivens at gmail.com if anyone has any available.

Thanks

If anyone could add me via the exploit, I'd really appreciate it!

fumanstan

I tried to add all of you guys.

Amator

Timber, Matto, just tried the exploit for both of you.

That will be my last attempt until I get home from work tonight. I have a lot of stuff to do today.

rocketsauce

Could you guys try to add me as well? chicubfan @ gmail.com?

fumanstan

D'oh!
