On: Poll: What do you think of Google+?

[antihero]

Invites are so bloody rare. Gmail was groundbreaking (and empirically offered way more space, etc) so people were going nuts for invites. This is, at best, a "bit better than Facebook". And much as people dislike it, Facebook is a pretty powerful tool, as opposed to webmail before Gmail, which majorly sucked.

The invites weren't actually that bad, nothing like Gmail was initially. Most (Everyone?) had unlimited invites for a good 4-5+ hours.

You could actually get in if you refreshed the main page, they seemed to let people sign up through some magical formula.
