Google+ Invitation Detour That May Work

Yesterday, I wrote a post about what to do after you accept your Google+ project invitation. Then, I invited everyone to send me their gmail address so I could send them an invitation.

But, I didn’t know that Google had closed off the Google+ invitation route due to “insane demand.”

Thanks to my Google+ friends for finding this possible way to bypass the Google+ invitation shutoff, courtesy of Techcrunch.

An additional work-around ā€“ which also appears to work on its own ā€“ is simply creating a status update (itā€™s called a ā€˜Shareā€™ on Google+), e.g. ā€œinviting peopleā€ and then pasting the Gmail addresses of friends you want to invite into the ā€œadd peopleā€ box (Next to +1 and Comment links). They should then get a copy of your status update in their email and link saying ā€œLearn more about Google+ā€. They can then click on that and will get taken to your post, with a Join Google+ button.

I just tried it and it worked! Let us know if it works for you, too.

Interested in what the new Google+ interface looks like?

Here’s a slideshow that takes you behind the screen.
