Unfortunately, Google disabled Invitation option (for now) after the Invite-fest on Lifehacker. Apparently a user found an alternative to this, sharing posts with accountless users (with a gmail account) will receive an email with an invitation option.<p>WAIT, DON'T POST YOUR EMAIL JUST YET!<p>I'll be sending invitations (with the above method) to any user who emails (check my profile for my email address) me with his/her email. Other users who're already invited to Google+ are requested to follow the same.<p>Upvote this post if you received an invitation.<p>Edit: It will take 10-30 minutes for your account to be included in the access list, till then you'll receive this message - "Already invited - capacity overload blah blah message, try later".<p><i></i>Edit2: If you are unable to get an invite message in the email, apparently you haven't created your google profile. It looks like that you need a google profile to get it working. Please re-send me your email after creating your profile.<i></i><p>This is no con for spamming and google hasn't fixed the loophole (yet). http://i.imm.io/6YFW.png<p>Just so if you're confused with the time, it is GMT +5:30<p>Edit3: If this still doesn't work, apparently you need to wait till the next day when google re-enables the invite button. Re-send me your email then.<p>Edit4: I'm going to sleep, will reply to PMs when I'm back online.
So far, this method has worked for some lucky users. Don't worry, you'll be included in the access list soon. This happened because of too many users trying to join Google+ at a time. Google+ is just not ready yet, it is still in field trial. Apologies to everyone who wasn't able to join Google+, I'll re-send all the invitations once this gets fixed.
A friend invited me using this exact "loophole", and I used it to successfully invite a few friends.<p>Google+ is spreading virally in my social network, despite Google's attempts to limit the number of users :)
Some users have reported that re-clicking the "Learn more about Google+" in the email after some time redirects them to a page which asks them to join it.

Once the invite button is enabled again, I'll try invite everyone to Google+ directly, everyone who emailed me.
I hope your method works. I posted in another thread and was forwarded to the exceeded capacity page and now I am getting a 404 error so I guess that invite link doesn't work.<p>Any who I shall email you.
Arg, Google is killing me with it's "Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.". Getting an invitation and still not being able to join is bad practice ...
Mine didn't work. I've resent a request after adding some information to flesh out a google profile.<p>I received this <a href="http://imgur.com/u5vEI" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/u5vEI</a>
thanks for the email, but the notification received still didn't have the ability to invite me, but merely redirected me to: <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/up/start/?sw=1&type=st" rel="nofollow">https://plus.google.com/u/0/up/start/?sw=1&type=st</a>
