Get Your Friends a Google+ Account Without an Invite

If you already have an account, you can get anyone inside

Google+ has raised quite a lot of interest these past couple of days. The initial reactions have been very positive and this may be Google's first competitive social project, so people are at least intrigued.

When Google enabled existing users to send invitations to their friends, the surge in activity promptly led Google to shut down invitations.

But if you have a friend on the inside, you can get an invite of sorts quite easily.

Anyone with a Google+ account can share something, be it a status update, a photo or anything else, with the people in their circles, or even with friends who don't have a Google+ account.

In this latter case, the friends will receive an email notifying them that the user shared something with them and a link to "Learn more about Google+".

All they have to do is follow that link and they'll be able to sign up for a new account within seconds. There's no limit on the number of people you can 'send an invite' like this and the process is hardly complicated.

Once you manage to get your hands on a brand new account, you can share something with whomever you like and they will be able to sign up as well, so you could build up a circle of friends in no time at all, as long as they're the early adopter types that are going to be excited about Google+.

Granted, this is not a sure fire way, Google may move to block this like it did previous ways of sending out invitations or getting people inside. For the time being it seems to be working so all you need to do is to find a friend with a Google+ account.

TL;DR: If you already have a Google+ account, write something and share it with anyone you want by typing in their email addresses. They'll receive an email notification and a link to sign up.
