We all knew this was coming. With the flood of anxious Google/Android loving followers rushing to get into club Google+, the demand was so huge, so “insane,” it had to be shut down. A short while ago we reported that after 24 hours, Google+ users were finally allowed to invite friends and family to join in on the Google party. But just like that hip night club in LA, Google+ quickly rose to capacity and even overloaded their servers with people’s status updates and video chatting via “Hangouts.”
Vic Gundotra had this to say on his profile:
We’ve shut down invite mechanism for the night. Insane demand. We need to do this carefully, and in a controlled way. Thank you all for your interest!
For any who wish to leave, please remember you can always exit and take your data with you by using Google Takeout.
It’s your data, your relationships, your identity.
Not too sure what this Google Takeout business is (too scared to click the link) but I would imagine it not only wipes you off the face of the internet – but the earth as well. Use with caution.
Well I can say that I contributed to this. :p
+1
nope google takeout lets you get a copy of your personal data, just like facebook does.. except its a copy of everything or one part that you want :D
Afraid to click the link? All it does is archive all of your Google services data, and allows you to download it… doesn’t delete anything.
Bobby Thompson who lives across the street clicked the link. These men in suits showed up to his house and took Bobby away… o_O
I know i cant click the link, since I got Google life installed in my brain things have been,,,,,,,Amazing. The men in suits will show up and take my brain!
and still no invite to google +, you let them install a chip in your brain and they dont call you in the morning. I said chip on purpose by the way. Dont get confused with microchip. Its 12″x10″. Think creepy Xenobiologist from the Green Lantern move meets middle aged, overweight bald guy. Pretty cool turn by turn directions over wifi. Silly Verizon wants $5k per mouth for brain tethering. Unless I opt for the new family mind control plan. What savings,,hold on while I click this link. ALL HAIL VERIZON! ALL OTHER CELLULAR PROVIDERS ARE INFERIOR. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
could you find out/explain what this means for those of us that got invites but haven’t been able to activate accounts? did they just shut down the ability to send invites or did they retroactively rescind invites that got sent?
Mann and I just got an invite too…I so want to try G+. Hurry Google and make it open to the public, pleeeaaaasssseeeeee.
I’m looking for a g+ invite email scm2gll@gmail.com
To bad you have to be 18 to use Google+, got so excited when I got a invite.. Than I got this: http://goo.gl/hzcQQ
i got an invite hours ago and have been unable to join, while everyone i know who got an invite after i did was able to. im going to burn $*#% down till i get in, very frustrated. tried doing it on phone, tablet and computer. tried multiple browsers. tried deleting gmail accounts. google still doesn’t believe i have an invite even though i do.
Could be worse, you could have TWO invites in your email & not old enough to use either one.
what’s your e-mail address? i’ll get you in
Hi Jed, would you still be able to send me an invite at truonghuy11@gmail.com? I greatly appreciate it . Thanks.
Hey, would you be able to chuck me an invite too? keanoo@gmail.com
I’d appreciate it greatly!
Hi Jed!
Can you invite me? :)
christoffer.wiig@gmail.com
Hey Jed, any chance you could work your magic on my account jmart75 (at) gmail.com. I have an invite, but like the rest of the gang I was too late to actually use it. I’m just wondering if the post loophole still works.
If possible – i would like an invite too
Ploug77@gmail.com
I would love an invite if anybody has one. gofastmojo@gmail.com
I got an invite a few hours ago too, only to find out that I must be 18 years of age. I’m so frustrated right now.
They aren’t going to do anything to Facebook with the age requirement, a big chunk of Facebook users are Highschool students.
You mean like how 100% of the Facebook users were college students back in the day?
I’m 22 Ill take it :P
Good thing I was in before the lock :D
WHEW! just got in before they stopped it! It is FREAKIN’ AWESOME!!!
so there’s a loop hole in their system i guess, because i keep adding people, by posting something and putting their e-mails in the shared spot, and they are able to make accounts… i know for a fact because those people i added a few wrote on the post thanking me
just to be clear, i’m not sure how long this loophole will last, but for the people that i’ve added could you pay it forward and add as many as you can as well? spread the word before they shut it down!
apparently they closed off the loop hole… my friend told me on facebook, go figure, i did my best to invite everyone that i could :/
wanna help a brother out…–nothing to see here–

nope no beans :( it still says i need a invite :(((((((((((

Thanks all. :)
Can you also send me an invite?
thorjak@gmail.com
From the start you could email people back that included you in a status update.
Those people didn’t have direct access (tell them to create a new status – They won’t because they can’t).
Jed, You could be the next big thing on Google!

Purposefully circumventing their lockouts which were put in place to deal with capacity issues is actually a pretty selfish thing to do. I understand your desire to help friends get on, I myself still want an invite but I’m not going to support people who do this sort of thing.
Jed, would you be so kind and send me an invite!?

Why advertise this on YouTube, etc when nobody, even it’s most loyal paying customers can’t get an invite? This is a huge turn-off for apps users as well. I’m seeing the only alternative here to this is using Rockmelt for now. They are pushing for something big in the wake of Google’s New Wave (did I just say that?). Ouch! I own everything Google, I even converted my Netbooks to Android, I pay for their Business Apps, I own Android Phones, but where’s the love man? Where? I hate to say it, this push to the public could backfire in two ways. People lose interest quick these days and when there’s an alternative that is working, they will Flock to it (LOL).
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting!
Just tried the “Takeout” site and am TOTALLY impressed. My husband is planning on leaving Facebook… and just last night I told him to wait until I can download his pictures (not going to be a fun or fast process, I’m sure). THIS is exactly what Facebook needs… and this is Google+ just may be Google’s first successful social venture. I am loving the privacy and control. No matter HOW much I group people on Facebook and share things only with that group, there’s too dang MANY controls… and I’m an options kinda person. I hate how one darn setting can share something private (a website link post) because of a comment made by a friend of a friend – now accessible to how many people?! ANNOYING! I certainly am not interested in becoming a statistic. (1 in 5 divorces cites Facebook as a contributing factor. Yuck.)
May I please have an invite as well? You guys are amazing!
