24 hours later and I am now a part of Google+. First impression: a-ma-zing. The navigation, the concept of circles, the notification system is very intuitive. Not used to +1-ing things yet, but I am sure will get comfy with time.

Would be happy to invite you, but I believe you might need a Gmail account. I am not sure as the information is still very conflicting.

If you are a regular/established member of this community (no 1-time posters, no "I-just-signed-up-to-get-my-invite" crowd) either PM me your gmail account or post it below.

If I add you, you are supposed to receive an email with information and link in it. If it gives you an option to "Join Google+", but does not allow you to actually register, wait up to 24-48 hours. Even though Joe invited me, I had to wait for my invite to be activated. THAT part does not depend on anyone but Google.
