Some users have reported that they have been able to sign up to the site faster if they used a number of other Google products. We want to know if this is true.
Tell us what Google products you used before signing up to Google+ and we’ll see if there is a pattern.
[Update: 2011/July/07]
In our completely unscientific, not statistically significant, straw poll of 42 Google+ invitees (those who got access to the site and those who are still locked out) it seems that begin a Google Fanboy (such as ourselves) does not help you get access to Google+ sooner.
We conducted the poll, above, to see if the rumors which suggested that subscribing to multiple Google services (such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Profile, etc) helped users gain access to Google+ were true.
In the poll people who said they frequently used Google services were no more likely to gain access to Google+ than those who said they never or infrequently used Google’s other services.
One frequent suggestion going around the web suggested that if you had a Google Profile you were more likely to get access to the social network sooner. Just under 50% of respondents who had a Google Profile got immediate access to Google+. But a similar percentage of people who have not been able to access Google+ since being invited also have a Google profile.
It also seems that knowing the person who invited you doesn’t help in getting access sooner
One Google+ invitee who did get access to the site said, “I’ve had invites appear the other end up to 27 hours late and others appear instantly (users would have v similar profiles in terms of products used). I’d imagine it’s a bottleneck issue rather than correlated to tools (Google close the doors based on engineers available to monitor performance, I’ve a contact that worked in the team up until a week ago), so this is the over-riding issue for invites.”
Interestingly, one user was able to sign up to the site without getting an invite at all, “I didn’t actually get an invite. I went to their main page and was able to sign up directly.” I think we are all legitimately allowed to dislike this person.
