Google+ invites shut down due to high demand

From InfoWorld: Interest in Google's new social networking service has exceeded not only the company's expectations but its ability to keep up with the new demand.

Late on Wednesday night, Vic Gundotra, a senior vice president of Social for Google, posted on the Google+ network that the company has been overwhelmed with interest and had to stop taking new users.

Google+ is no longer taking new users, even if they received invites to join.

"We've shut down invite mechanism for the night," Gundotra posted. "Insane demand. We need to do this carefully, and in a controlled way. Thank you all for your interest!"

The shutdown means people can't invite anyone else to join Google+ right now -- and even people who already had been invited onto the network can't get in.
