Google+ opening invites shortly
by Kevin Omondi 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Guys, Google+ is about to open the invites floodgates in a few minutes as denoted in an email below. I will try to invite as many skunkers as possible so respnd urgently as we do not know how long this invite window will be open. The email Hey Google+ folks! As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites. As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial. Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet). So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again. We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite *a handful* of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system. Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!

According to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc dated May 15, 2011 99% of ALL internet traffic in Kenya comes from Mobile Operators as 3G, EDGE and GPRS. What is happening or is going happen to our ISPs? Do you think this is accurate? David K -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war." - Navy SEAL INSTRUCTOR
