Google+ Invite Begging thread

Invites are currently closed. There is no way to get in right now.

I don't think a list would work because the person needs to be active to pm the person giving out invites his email. A list of emails is a bad idea.

I'm just adding all the emails to a circle, and when invites go live just send that circle invites.

It's fine if you get the emails pmed to. A list of emails posted in public isn't a great idea though haha.

Hopefully invites open up soon. I have a few friends to invite but after them I'll invite people from here.
 
techcrunch says:
An additional work-around – which also appears to work on its own – is simply creating a status update (it’s called a ‘Share’ on Google+), e.g. “inviting people” and then pasting the Gmail addresses of friends you want to invite into the “add people” box (Next to +1 and Comment links).

They should then get a copy of your status update in their email and link saying “Learn more about Google+”. They can then click on that and will get taken to your post, with a Join Google+ button.

Let us know how you get on in the comments below (ironically, Facebook powered).

Update: It would appear the last suggestion here is the simplest and most fool-proof.

this way closed as well?

yeah, that was basically the circles method we were doing earlier. it doesn't work anymore.


oh, techcrunch said it was different. c'est la vie
The better, more guaranteed hack is one or both of the following.

An existing user on Google+ creates a new Circle, called (for example) Invites. They then add the emails of the people they want to invite to that circle.
 
But will it work when Inivites are open again?

i hope so.... i think another gaffer is adding a bunch of emails to a circle and then sending out invites once google enables them again.

that's essentially what we were doing.

after you put all the emails into a circle, you post/share something to that circle. those not on google+ would receive an email asking to view/comment on the post. when you check that email, you just click on the "learn more about google+" button and you'd be directed to a sign up page where you'll see your first and last name in text input boxes.

good idea. any way to make sure i'm on that list? i posted pages ago...
 
Fuck. I'd love to help, but have a meeting right now. So hopefully when I get back. You can PM me and if you haven't gotten in yet, I'll do what I can.

What method is working, the circles method isn't for me.
I'm trying the make a post and make it viewable to certain emails way.

Faster than the circles way and seems to be working.

I never got your email. Maybe it's just me?
