Well: when I entered my name & email in the form provided, it got a 500 internal server error. When G's servers are overloaded, you know there's ginormous demand. And you know there're bugs still - they don't even call it beta! it's limited Field Trial. This is the way they rolled out GMail, which seems to be doing ok.
- jleader 15y agoHint to Google: If your servers are overloaded, "Please go back and try again" is a really dumb thing to ask people to do on your 500 error page!
- esrauch 15y agoThey have a kind of loose definition of what they call beta. Consider how long GMail was in "beta" when in reality it was pretty much a finished project. It's true that the invite system worked for gmail, but it's a bit different because gmail still has fundamental value if you are on it and literally none of your friends are.
