Good idea, then maybe when whoever's sent the invite can put a mark beside the name to indicate 'Invite Sent' or something?

No problem, I hope you will also help out on the invite requests and also pass this on to other people and forums, more the better

Yes no problem, will be glad to pass out some invites to anyone needing them

[Guest worto03]

Was about to send an invite but invite link has disappeared again from my Google+. No idea what's going on. Will try adding you and sending you a post - this worked for me to invite a couple of people two days ago but it too them nearly a day of trying to get Google+ to accept the invite

They only show it when the invite system is up, another way you can send out invites even when the system is down is to go and make a status (put anything, I just say invite) and at the bit "add circles or people to share with" put the email addresses of the people who want to join and just click share, it will then send out emails saying that you shared a status and at the bottom it will say "learn more about google+ or if they view the status then its the "join google+" above the status

[Guest super san francisco]

i'm already in, could invite people if they want to.

[Guest worto03]

Thanks guys, I'm in, I don't seem to have any way to send invites out so I guess it's over again for a while.

Looks good so far.

No this way to send out invites is still possible

just like to say thanks for this

if sending out invites to my friends do they have to have a gmail acc or is it possible just a normal email address

cheers howard

[Guest ufizo]

Google accounts with gmail ID only, i think I read that somewhere on google.

but not 100% sure.

I think it will ask them to login to gmail as soon as they try and use the invite link so it may work

[Guest Thar]

The invite button has reappeared for the time being, just invited someone on the spreadsheet using it.

[Guest Tony Sidaway]

I received an invitation on Friday from another user here and I've had fun trying it out, adding all my Twitter and blog follows and adding a few more interesting people I hadn't seen elsewhere:

This is my profile

Any ZTE Blade or other Android users who would like to link up do please follow me and send me a private message identifying your interests. If you do that I'll be able to put you into my own Android circle so you'll receive any Android-related posts I make.

Here is a blog posting I made about how to organise your Google+ account so it's a bit like a turbo-charged Twitter rather than the Facebook-like model that is presented to you when you first log in.

Just a note Invites seemed to have been open since yesterday around 18:00GMT (09/07/11) and are still open now 11:00GMT (10/07/11) Maybe google wants a lot of new users

[Guest cgk]

I didn't even have an invitation, I just went there and it let me join.

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

Is it possible to configure privacy, so that no-one (you are "friends" with [or have them in your circles or whatever :blink:]) can see your posts etc?

It seems you can do this either by creating a Circle and calling it "No-one" for example, adding no-one to it and sharing it with that circle. Or, it says under the photos tab "Albums that you haven't shared remain visible only to you", so just don't share :huh:
