This is what happened last night:

 

Hey Google+ folks!

 

As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites.

 

As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial.

 

Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet).

 

So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again.

 

We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system.

 

Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!

Chris, thanks for the add. They must have just opened it up again, because they sent me an email and I was able to join. I'll have to copy my Facebook profile over during the weekend...too busy now.

No problem. I ended up getting this Chrome extension that would download all your friends' contact info from facebook over to your gmail account into a separate folder, which then syncs with G+ so that you can add them to your circles. It ended up confusing my phone cause it was seeing duplicates, so once you have everyone over on G+ you just need to delete the folder on gmail.
