G+ is still in field trial, but it is far from "closed". I have 150 invites, as do all users to the best of my knowledge. The growth was limited for the first couple of weeks, but that is no longer the case.

I would disagree that controlled growth of a new product is a mistake for a company at Google's scale and brand recognition, and I would also disagree that it is still a "closed invitation-only beta thing".

I feel like it has lost the momentum it had during its first few weeks though. If they ramped up the invites faster, I think it would have retained a higher user base now.

Yeah? What's the male/female ratio on your google+?

I would say mine's somewhere between 1:1 and 2:1. Honestly, I don't see this as being the problem so much as the fact that it's just so quiet by comparison to Facebook.
