Google+ invites now easier to share thanks to a special link

August 7, 2011 | by Andrew Kameka

With an estimated 25 million members, Google+ has exceeded the realm of what’s typically considered exclusive. However, Google still hasn’t fully-opened its gates to anyone who wants in, so people are constantly asking for Google Plus invites.

Google is finally making it easier to bring people into the fold through a special invite link. Rather than have users manually invite friends or try to use workarounds that don’t always work, users can simply share a link. When an existing Google+ users logs into his or her account, there should be an “Invite friends” button in the right panel that looks like this.

Clicking the button will bring up a window in which someone can copy-and-paste a link to share on the web or email directly to their friends and family who have yet to make the jump from Facebook, Twitter, or Mys…nevermind.

The catch is that only 150 people are able to click the link, which is the first time I’ve seen Google place a limitation on the number of invites that one person is able to send. Best of luck to everyone who spots someone willing to open the door for them. Once you’re in, be sure to read our guide to using the Google+ Android app and check out our sister site PlusAddicts.com that covers the Google Plus website, Chrome extensions, tips, and more.

By the way, a few readers asked why there’s no Androinica Google+ page but we keep inviting people in and covering the app. The reason is that Google doesn’t allow brand pages yet, and though a couple Android sites are breaking the rules, we’ve decided to just be patient. We look forward to being able to share with you on G+ as we do on Facebook and Twitter, but for now, we think our readers care more about getting into Plus and seeing it for themselves. As such, we’ll continue covering G+ and trying to get in as many people as possible. (<— ahem)

No, it's not the first time Google sets a limit for invites. Same thing happened with Gmail while beta.

Hi friends

I think that you will agree with me that there is a lot of jewelry lovers worldwide.

I am a giant jewelry lover,
too.

I was looking for some splendid and original necklace for myself for
pretty long time. I wanted to get something
truly unique.

I was searching through a lot of jewelry stores on the internet for over a week, and I was
lucky enough to find
the company which is selling a lovely glass necklaces.
Wow, I realized that I could get a splendid necklace which
will give me truly special look I was dreaming about.

So I ordered this necklace from the on-line store which is owned
by WEXONMART, Inc.

I placed the order, and I received the package from WEXONMART within two days.
These guys are pretty fast, for sure.

I was stunned when I opened a package. The necklace was so gorgeous.
These necklaces have been designed by the famous and very talented jewelry designer.
This designer has a lot of extraordinary clients like country music
stars, girlfriends of politicians, etc.

If you are looking for such splendid necklace for yourself than you can consider necklaces from WEXONMART, too.

They are selling a lot of luxury items like magnificent crystal vases, amazing gifts for
your loved ones, etc.

I hope that you will find my post helpful.
