Google just launched its new Facebook thing: Google Plus. And it’s invite-only. But people aren’t exactly killing each for Google Plus invites. Oh, how times have changed since the Gmail Invite Gold Rush.
A simple trick to invite people to Google plus-
1. Create a post. I suggest something that explains that the post is being used to invite them to Google+, also explaining that invites are being limited. (They will get that post in an email with the first few words as the subject line)
2a. Inviting by suggested contact list: Create a circle with everyone you want to invite in your contact list (I created one called, creatively, “Invitees”). Add that circle under “Share”
2b. Inviting by email: Typing their names directly into the box under what you want to share, where it says “+Add more people.”
3. Hit share.
Note, I’ve been informed by a Googler+ that invites are rate limited by hour. So if they can’t click through that first time, they can try again later with same link. (You don’t need to resend it)
Update: If you are still not on Google Plus and need an invite to join then, please signup from here
