Aw man, I just made a new Yahoo account and tried to do this and then realized Google Plus is not accepting new invites.... oh well.

I recall when Gmail was invite only and a lot of people wanted invites. People were even selling invites on eBay for a while!!! LOL... not for much money but still... it just goes to show that people will do anything for even a tiny bit of money.

So we will see how Plus works out. I am still unsure what to think about it, but either way, it seems cool. I just wish I could get an invite myself!!! :'-(

Google tried to recreated that invite scarcity with Wave as well -- didn't work out too well for them there.

Seems like the odds are pretty good that by the time they open it up to everyone, the hype will have died down. I understand the desire to scale up slowly, but this invite-only model is getting annoying.
