Google+ Attempts to Surpass Facebook, Twitter


Google+ is offering a much simpler way to invite friends to the service. Google engineer Balaji Srinivasan announced in a Google+ post that a new feature is being rolled out over the next couple of days which lets users invite friends through a link.


“We’ve heard that you want to invite your friends, but sometimes you don’t know their email addresses… or sometimes it’s not easy to find it,” he wrote.

Clicking on the “invite friends” button, will see a new link that users can email or IM to friends.

Srinivasan, however, noted that since Google+ is still in limited field trial, there is a limit of 150 people that can sign up to Google+ per link.

The new feature is expected to further boost the fledgling social network.

Google+, the social network Google launched just over a month ago, already has more than 25 million visitors, according to Comscore, an Internet traffic watcher.


Only two weeks after launch, Google+ boasts 10 million users, making it one of the fastest-growing social networks ever. Additionally, people are using Google+ to share content over 1 billion times a day.
