I think this type of thing risks tiring people out though. There are only so many times people can get excited about getting an invite to a new service before it feels like chasing old highs.

I clicked the link before looking at the comments. I saw "request an invite", sighed, and hit the back arrow.

I'm tired of Google request-an-invites, and it was a reaction completely independent of the comments here (which I hadn't yet seen).

Something to think about, I guess.

Or even share on Google+

… on second thought, I'm sure even Google knows they'd be preaching to the choir there.
