    Heya,

    Has anyone got a Google+ invitation they'd be willing to share? Would love to try it out.

    I'll make you a mix CD or something in return!

    Thanks!
    Simon.

    My Google account is from Google Apps. I get the feeling I won't be able to use my account for Google+ (I can't create a Google Profile at the moment).

    I'd be disappointed if this is true, anyone have any information?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,221 ✭✭✭BrianD


    Isn't it just a matter of having a Google account?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,035 ✭✭✭✭-Chris-


    It seems not.

    I can't create a Google Profile because I've a Google Apps account. When I try and join Google+ it tells me I can't join unless I have a Google Profile.

    Hmmmm

    You can side-load the android app, which I got from XDA. Unfortunately it isn't in the market for Ireland yet.

    There does appear to be a back door into Google+ where you don't need to get an invite. But you do need to know someone with a Google+ account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭hamsterboy


    Yeah I got an invite somehow from a mate. Looks pretty cool.
    Whats the back door... maybe I can add a few of ye

    You can add people using their email address as your friends. If you then post a link on your "wall" you have the option of emailing it to your friends (as they do not have Google+ accounts). When your friends get the email, they can click on the link and voila, google+ access.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭PaulPinnacle


    Here's a handy guide on inviting others to Google+ from the guys over at Sociable.co.

    Google actively control the flow of new sign ups, so even with the 'backdoor invite' you're not sure of getting straight in. Once you do receive an intro mail, keep trying and eventually it'll let you in when they reopen the doors.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,215 ✭✭✭shanec1928

    On your home page there will be a button down the bottom right where you can add emails to invite. The button seems to come and go depending on how many people you've invited or linked with.

    Any Boday want invitation for Google Plus? I have a plus to invite.

    There's no limits on invites, all you need to do is share content on + with the person and they'll receive an invite from it.

    The only 'restrictions' are on the type of mail addy you use and whether Google themselves have the doors open for invites to be accepted (they seem to be open constantly for the last few days).

    It has to be a standard google account (app accounts aren't working yet) and you may need to have an existing Google Profile set up (though I'm not sure either way on the latter).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 487 ✭✭Shifty


    If there's a spare one going, I'll take it please!

    It really sucks that you can't use google apps with this. I have spent the last few years slowly but surely transitioning myself from my gmail account to my google apps account. I am sure they will sort it out eventually :(

    They're actively working on it, they know it's a major issue, but it's a tricky one for them to solve with a scalable solution that actually works.

    Google+ and Google Profiles are totally personal. They relate to a specific individual (they're actively culling non personal + accounts far more aggressively than FB ever have). App accounts on the other hand are business owned, not individual owned. If you were to create your + account around an app address, it could end up with you losing that mail addy should you change jobs, lose jobs, business goes under, migration to a new domain, etc.. They will find a solution there, but they're better to do it slowly and correctly than to simply rush in and bodge one together.

    Failing that, I'm happy to receive pm's for the next hour if you want a G+ invite :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 246 ✭✭jammer84


    So how's the Google+ looking for all of you that are currently using it? Is it worth looking for an invite to?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,500 ✭✭✭ReacherCreature


    I hardly use the thing but I've got invites (I think), so PM me if you want one.

    No worries. Hope it's working out well for you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭joeKel73


    Invites going here too, PM your gmail address if you want one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭jpmiddleton


    I will send a couple of invites if anyone wants any PM me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭joeKel73


    They give you an invite link now you can use so I setup a "Bóards Dotie" profile and here's the link for invites;
    https://plus.google.com/_/notifications/ngemlink?path=%2F%3Fgpinv%3D_QlxqjyowIA%3AudfYyZHaSqc

    It should be good for 150 invites anyway, but I don't think the counter even drops.
