where are you guys seeing the option to invite?

Add email to a circle and then share something AFAIK

Go to your stream and on the right it says "Send Invite"

mark@paz.id.au if anyone is generous enough to give me an invite

I believe that it is only open to gmail addresses at this stage, though they will open up to google apps soon I believe, last I heard

EDIT: I guess I'm wrong seeing as it looks like you've got it now

done, i think

I'm in! Thanks Paz.

 

[paz]

my @paz.id.au is assocated with a google account now anyways

My Hotmail address was associated with my Google account too. I guess that's why it worked.

Yeah it's a bit confusing, how to invite people. I found a site explains it best, though it is a hack, read more here.

A simple trick to invite people to Google plus-

1. Create a post. I suggest something that explains that the post is being used to invite them to Google+, also explaining that invites are being limited. (They will get that post in an email with the first few words as the subject line)

2a. Inviting by suggested contact list: Create a circle with everyone you want to invite in your contact list (I created one called, creatively, “Invitees”). Add that circle under “Share”
2b. Inviting by email: Typing their names directly into the box under what you want to share, where it says “+Add more people.”

3. Hit share.

So basically, create a Circle (here), on that same page, click the "Add a new person" link and start populating that "Circle".

Then go back to your home page and create a Status update and only send it to that newly created Circle.

If anyone is looking for an invite, let me know and I'll try and hook them up. It's been hit and miss the last few I've sent, so no guarantees.

And anyone that's using G+, feel free to add me to their "Circle".

Cheers,

I had a bit of a play.. seems cool but I don't see how it will appeal to enough people to seriously take on Facebook.
