I think it's not invasive at all if they already have the service. "Oh, we need to connect, are you on Snikket?" isn't any more invasive than "what is your number". Where it gets harder is when they do not have anything you have and then you start saying "please install..." which is much more invasive for a casual contact. For this kind of lowest common denominator you can't really beat SMS or email because almost everyone has both already.

Not only does virtually everyone have an SMS installed, virtually everyone also has it in their daily app rotation (even if it's not their preferred platform). So using SMS feels more polite to me.
