Tired of being locked out of the coolest new startup service that everyone is buzzing about? Not the [coolest person at the party][1] anymore? Never fear, [InviteShare][2] is here to help. The new service is community based around sharing private beta invites.
New startups typically launch in some sort of limited beta invite phase -- they seed out a few invites to friends and then each invite can pass on a few more. That's where InviteShare comes in.
If you can't get an invite to your favorite beta site, you can register for an account at InviteShare and then browse the site to find various private betas that are being offered. If you need an invite you can add your name to the list.
If you're one of the beautiful people and you have invites to hand out you can invite the people at the top of each list by clicking on their name.
While it remains to be seen how the developers working on beta sites feel about this sort of thing, since, cheekiness aside, private betas are often private for a reason -- startups often lack server bandwidth and code may not be stable yet -- at least the early adopter crowd has a resource all their own.
The site was working fine earlier this morning when I tested it, but I just tried to login and it threw a few server errors, but a couple refreshes got me in. Since InviteShare was Techcrunch and some others presumably the server is a little overwhelmed, just keep trying and it should eventually work.
