Here's a quick tutorial on how to do it and increase your chances of getting them in:

Add the person you want to add into your GMail contacts.
Add that person into a circle of your choice (preferably Friend or Family, you could always move them later on).
Create a post on your stream and make it limited to whoever you want.
Share that post to the person's email address you're trying to add.
They'll receive an e-mail and its just luck from that point.


Also, it seems the more people that share post invite, the higher your chances of getting in.
This works great, I just added a few peeps.

Here is the Unofficial Google+ manual created by Googlers:


https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...li=1&sle=true#


You can contribute to it as well if you sign in with your Google accounts. Its basically like Wikipedia in real-time. Might have to keep retrying because a lot of people are contributing to it at the same time but you can read it.

The mobile app should be able to accomodate more than one e-mail and you can switch between the two. I'll try to send an invite your way though.

Lol. Yeah my phone was going crazy with the notifications. Trying to minimize that with the new thread. You get kinda caught up with the realtime commenting on there its almost like you're chatting instead of just posting.

Just a heads up, if you're already in Google+ share your Google Profile link as its easier to add you to the circles. I'm trying to add everyone to the Acurazine circles so everyone can add each other. If you're still waiting for an invite then give your e-mail address. I think invites are up again. At least, I can see them on mine right now.

Google decides to piss off Facebook...and probably not with your hair loss.
