Google+ Open For Everyone With a Google Account

by | Thursday, 07th Jul 2011 | 73 Comments | Share

For the past week or so you might have heard a lot about , it was launched on 28th June and opened for invites shortly thereafter.  However, for over a week, Google stopped accepting new users and also denied existing users from inviting new ones.

Google Plus Open For Everyone

If you have been mystified with Google’s new take at social networking, here is some Google news. Google+ is now officially open to anyone with a Google account. All you have to do is to go to https://plus.google.com and Sign in with your account and you will be in. Existing and new users will also be able to invite anyone they want to join the service. So no need to ask anyone for invites anymore and also can finally get rid of those spammy Google+ invites.

By the way, we have been using Google+ for over a week and you might want to read through our series of articles which will be helpful to you when it comes to using and understanding Google+.

Have fun with Google+.

Update: Looks like there is some glitch, but the signups have definitely opened up and so have the invites. Please sign in in next few hours to get in. This is very much apparent because earlier Google did not allow users to Sign In, also invites are definitely back on.

    Your news article is already out of date, as they have closed the service once again.

    I can sign in but I can’t create anything. Basically, I get the same page as anyone not signed in.

    I am a Google+ user, and I’ve read somewhere in my account that people I add to a circle (you can add people’s emails) who don’t have an account can see my posts, but they can’t create content. It’s still invite only.

  11. stephanie on July 10th, 2011 at 12:30 am #

    So i got and invite and it wont let me join! What’s wrong :S?

  12. Craigyas on July 11th, 2011 at 2:44 am #

    Yeah, this is untrue, it is currently closed to those without an invite, but I got one and am in, I also invite 269 of my closest friends :P

    Keith, I received the same message from Google: “We’re still ironing out a few kinks in Google+, so it’s not quite ready for everyone…”.

    I must wait! :|

    Thanks anyway for your help!

    I’m always in favor of showing those that think they run the show that there are plenty of alternatives for us to turn to, but before everyone rushes to join Google+, I would like to provide an interesting piece of perspective for you all to bear in mind.

    It’s really annoying that all my friends have already signed up & are having no problems with Google Plus.. BUT it wont let me sign up??! I’ve been pumped about this project for weeks & it wont work? When will it be up & running? When will i be able to finally join my friends hangouts?

    Help me to create a Google plus

  20. Mark on July 17th, 2011 at 9:42 am #

    This article is inaccurate. I am not able to access Google+ through any of my google accounts. It may be useful if you amend this article to avoid people wasting time wondering why they cannot successfully follow the instructions.
    thank you.

    hw 2 sign up?

  24. Rocket on July 27th, 2011 at 6:52 pm #

    Your last update is wrong, you still need to be invited (and this has been the case for the last week). Signing into your gmail account only produces a page that says invitation only and google is out of invitations.

    (suggestion) add a date next to your “Update” so we can see a timeline.
