Google+ Invites - G+, as all the cool kids are calling it, is back to allowing invites. Most people here probably already know this. But just in case you don't know, does anyone else want one? Post your @gmail address in this thread and I'm sure you'll be signed up in no time at all.→[More:]Many thanks to danf for sending me an invite.

I think I sent you an invite correctly. Let me know if there's a problem!

posted by deborah 08 July | 18:23

I do not appear to have received anything, alas.

posted by JanetLand 08 July | 18:56

I'm in! thank you BP!

posted by JanetLand 08 July | 19:03

How does one send invites? I have an account, but don't see an option for inviting people, except for adding non google+ people to my circles. Is this the way to do it?

posted by mosessis 08 July | 19:12

mosessis: Go to the main home page, and look over on the right side, toward the bottom. Below the "Get Google+ for your mobile device" you'll see another button for invites.

The button disappears sometimes when invites are closed, though in the last 24 hours or so it's been pretty consistent.

Ah, I was doing it wrong. Thanks for stepping up, BP!

posted by deborah 08 July | 19:20

Sweet as! I was definitely doing that wrong. Thanks!

posted by mosessis 08 July | 19:33

janetland I added you, and it's my real name so if there is a name you don't recognise, it's me!

Invite to toastedbeagle as well!

If it's still open I could use one! Gmail is my username at gmail.

posted by grapesaresour 08 July | 21:14

I'm all out. Hope someone else has some available.

posted by deborah 08 July | 22:01

Looks like the button gone away for now. I think they're trying to control the flood of new folks coming in.

posted by BoringPostcards 08 July | 22:03

Bah. In the event that it returns, sysinfo at the gmail place and my undying thanks (or my thanks until it leaves beta. A tossup, really.)

My email is in my profile if anyone has an invite. Thanks.

posted by arse_hat 08 July | 22:37

Purdy please! My gmail addy is in my profile.

posted by jamaro 08 July | 22:43

I added all the emails above, and for the ones that said "sharing by email only" (ie, haven't got an active account yet) I sent an invite. Hope it works out!

posted by galadriel 08 July | 23:17

Thanks!

posted by arse_hat 08 July | 23:23

Yay! Worked here, and thanks galadriel.

posted by sysinfo 08 July | 23:23

Thanks galadriel! I will commence poking around in the new shiny thing.

posted by grapesaresour 09 July | 00:09

Thank you!!! :D

posted by evilcupcakes 09 July | 00:46

Kinda fun figuring out who everyone is.

posted by deborah 09 July | 01:11

Whee, thank you Galadriel!

I am paranoid about online anonymity. If I join this as essexjan, will I have to use my real name at any point in registering or display?

I'd love an invite if they're still available--wordnerd at gmail.

posted by leesh 09 July | 07:02

I'd love one too. Thanks!

LyonMar.56 at the gmail.

posted by marsha56 09 July | 08:21

Sent three more this morning. Am I the only person left in the world who still has invites? I feel kind of weird and alone ;)

Senyar, in theory they want a full name. In practice it looks like they are not cracking down on names that aren't quite one's full and legal name. Yet, anyway.

posted by galadriel 09 July | 09:46

marsha56, if what I tried with leesh works, I will do it with you also.

posted by danf 09 July | 09:50

Curious...

pips123@gmail.com if still available... mille thanks!

Thank you! Dan's came in first, so I took his. I guess that leaves you one more, arse_hat. I'll check it out.

posted by Splunge 09 July | 16:40

Thanks guys. I actually got two invites. One from Galadriel and one from dan. I think I used the one from Galadriel, so Dan you may still have an extra invite.

But either way, thanks to you both !!

posted by marsha56 09 July | 16:59

Well y'all can add me to your circle. Or not, I guess. . .

posted by danf 09 July | 18:14

I have invites if anyone still needs them. Can't see who might still be waiting.

posted by dg 09 July | 19:04

I have invites again. Sent one to Splunge just in case he didn't get one yet.

posted by deborah 09 July | 19:11

Oh, heavens... I need to stop by here more often.
