So I got in, how do I add people now?

Go to Circles and manually add an email address. Or just navigate to someone's profile and hit "add to circles".


To people sending out invites: try adding content to your post. The last two invite shares I did were with content and each share got 1 person in (out of 10).

Still stands:

I will invite any person who PM's me the correct answer to any of these questions with their email:

- Where did the Ferrari "Prancing Horse" logo really come from? (You will only find the answer to this in written form) (No one has answered this correctly)

- What special tradition happens to every BMW before it comes off the line? (No one has answered this correctly)

- Question erased because it was too easy...

- Which car company has made every single one of its cars out of carbon fiber?

- What specific car's braking force is equivalent to that of the Bugatti Veyron's airbrake?

- Only one car looks like it has a pair of balls (as in testicles) for exhausts. What car is this? (No one has answered this correctly)

- What do the Scottish Highlands and Gran Turismo have in common?

- If you were to walk into the Ferrari factory in Maranello you would expect to see a lot of red, but in fact you would see a lot of green (the color). Why?

- I erased this question because I can.

Good luck... lol.

Bonus Top Gear questions(Answered questions will be deleted):
- What real car did Top Gear actually have a hand in designing?
- Besides his height, what is Richard Hammond of Top Gear always haggled about?
- There is a certain car company the hosts of Top Gear hate more than any other. Which company is this?
- What company do they love the most? (It is not Aston, Ferrari, Pagani, BMW, Ford or Jaguar... so that should help)
- Jeremy Clarkson once played a video game, which car did he drive in this game?
- Top Gear once drove a car up a building, which building was it?
 
PM email and I'll send out G+ "loophole" invite. If the G+ link says overcapacity then try the link again after a few hours.
 
I just sent my cousin the "loophole" email and he said he hasn't received it yet...so are invites closed again or something?

the invites take a long time to process now. sometimes 24 hours or more.

my friend received an invite last night through the share method and just got in a couple hours ago.

doesn't matter if you see the "overcapacity message", you just gotta be persistant and try signing up every couple hours.
 
Sent my GF an invite using the loophole thing.
No email received, but after using the "Join Google+" link from my email inbox she was signed up within 15 mins.

Using that link is your best bet to get into it (after an 'invite' of course).

As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites.

As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial.

Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet).

So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again.

We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system.

Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!

This is like the end of 2012 when everyone is rushing to get on the ark.
:lol :lol

No more PMs, please. I'll send invites to all those who have already messaged me. The requests came faster than I expected and I've read that your invites are more likely to get in if you keep the number small.
 
So I didnt get an invite email yet, but I just went to the Google+ site and just hit "Join" and apparently I'm in it now? that was easy..
