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!

  Don't use real users as testers, jeesh... Maybe google should invest in some QA.

    Testing at scale without real users is quite difficult. You might as well limit the number of initial users so that you can try to iron out the worst bugs before allowing tens of millions of users. Doing a beta for an online service is standard practice - other websites do it, even online videogames do it.
