By It’s been a crazy day here at Phandroid and the internet was turned upside down tonight with Google allowing invites to their new uber exclusive Google+ social network. The flood of new peoples from all over the world actually but quite a strain on Google’s servers causing them to shut down the invite service for the day. And what Vic Gundotra has closed, let no man put asunder.
If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to snag an invite but still wanted to see exactly what you were missing out on, I have made for you (what was supposed to be a quick) video tour of Google+ web version as well as the Android app released yesterday. Also, wanted to give you guys some quick tips for new Google+ users.
- Immediately go into your Google+ Settings and modify you notification settings. You’ll learn quick that Google+ will fill up your email inbox pretty quick.
- Import Facebook contacts to Yahoo, import Yahoo contacts to Google+, make circle named Facebook, share posts to Facebook circle.
- There are no “Friend Requests.” Anyone can add you to their circle, it’s a lot like “Following” someone on Twitter.
- Loophole to invite more friends: Make a post. Share post with someone by email. Have friend click “Learn More About Google+” and from there they can sign up.
- The auto upload feature for pics and videos doesn’t mean all your pictures and videos will be shared with everyone automatically. They will be stored in a “ready to share” folder where you choose which pics/videos to share to Google+.
Got anymore tips and/or tricks to add? Post them in the comments!
This is my guide to Unlimited Invites http://imgur.com/66rMO
Just tested it and it works. Thanks for sharing. :D
No problem, now let’s take over the Social Networking once and for all.
Hi Jano,
If you have anymore invites I’d like one please.
meeharun at gmail dot com
Thanks.
jcx4ever at gmail (dot) com .. Pls.. pls. pls
Your invite just reverts me to the sign up page. Do I need to do something else other than click on your shared post to unlock the other features?
can you add me, jhektour at gmail dot com, you’re going to be my hero
Would love an invite!
ong.andrew@gmail.com
hi
can you add me
jma86.designs@gmail.com
could you share an invitation please? :D *puppy eyes* lol jannik06@gmail.com Thanks in advance!!!
please add me stephen.kopanski at gmail. I’d appreciate it so much
Umm could you possibly elaborate on what to do once you get the email? It keeps reverting me back to sign up page :/
Once you click that link you should be inside Google+. You’ll know it when you see it =p
Technically I’m inside but all I can do is view the invite post. Clicking “Join Google+” “+You” or the logo all redirect me to signup page D:
Maybe it’s restricted to US only? Little hint: “Already invited? We’ve temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.”
@Krzysztof I’m in the US and I have a Google Profile so I’m not sure what the problem could be :/
Unfortunately same thing happened to me. :(
Dang. Does anybody know any other way to get in? Black magic perhaps?
kafvd7@gmail.com please!

Hey Jano can you send me an invite? I can’t wait to try Google+ out, thanks. Jabdo79@gmail.com
Thanks for sharing this, BUT do blow your nose before a videocast!
Really? I blew my nose like 40 times before I made the video. I’ve blown my nose about 80 times after the video. I still can’t breathe. My nose is still gross. And I still can’t see straight cuz of my congestion headaches.
Ever been sick before?

I cannot wait to delete my facebook account!
Don’t delete it, use it to tell your friends about Google+
Google + really is awesome and a breath of fresh air compared to Facebook. I am still testing much of it with a few friends and I like it. I may just well say goodbye to Facebook.
By the way folks, Vic took down the invite button due to extremely high demand. Currently unable to invite people at this point but somewhere down the line they may put it back up.
I would greatly appreciate an invite, plllleeeaseee!! sewred@gmail.com

Thanks if someone can do it!
You know.. This would all work better, if there was some feedback when you got an invite, and maybe a promise to invite 2 others from the same thread.. right now it’s just chaos.. get an invite, and response to your own post and say your good now.. then find someone who hasn’t gotten it, and send them one.
Please, can you invite me to google+ Mail: –deleted–
I just get access!
