    Except that you can test an email platform with a limited amount of users, because those users can still email others outside of your platform, due to the way email works.

    I've had a google+ profile for almost a week, and I haven't bothered logging in after the first day, because none of my friends are on it and I can't invite them either. It's a social network that doesn't allow you to network with your social circle.

    When I mentioned that I had a google+ account, at least a dozen of my friends asked me to invite them, and I couldn't. They'll probably lose interest waiting for an invite, just as I've lost interest waiting to have more friends to interact with.

    How exactly am I supposed to help them test their platform if I can't use it?
