After a few days wrangling i finally got my hands on a Google+ invite. That plus a small window of opportunity for the invites to work means i am now the proud owner of:
https://plus.google.com/117624748448534720650
Now thats not much of a vanity URL however i’m hoping that one will turn up sooner rather than later.
If you want an invite simply send your email to markrush@gmail.com and i’ll work through them… promise

I’m using gplus.to/robotpixel as a vanity URL, not an official google one but it works non the less…
Hi Kyle… yeah ive seen than but im really after the killer ones google will fingers crossed use.
What are your thoughts on Google+ Mark? I have to say I’m very impressed thus far – and the scope for integration with other Google services is huge!
Hi Thomas
It looks good tho i think theres some google+ UI problems that they’ll need to resolve before it becomes an easier social metric to monitor. As with Twitter it will probably modify SERPS based on trending information which is good ish for the user and terrible for SEO… my guess is its not long now before one of our Indian friends sets up a service offering 1000 +1′s from different IP’s for $30 lol.
Haha yeah true – though I suspect Google understands that +1 can be gamed fairly easily and in its current state it probably isn’t a reliable ranking factor!
