If you ask a Seesmic invite now, you will get it in less than 24 hours

We now deliver the Seesmic invites in less than 24 hours, no more wait. I would like to get completely rid of the invite system but it is still here for two main reasons:

-act as a shield for the tech team as they upgrade the architecture.

The invite system is a way to control the number of new accounts created every day to avoid the servers to... melt in case of a sudden peak. We have all been users of new services that crash too often and we did not like it, so we are trying to prevent this from happening to Seesmic.

-maintain the community feeling.

One of the challenges we have as the number of members of Seesmic grows, is to maintain the community, content and respectful conversations that are today one of its strength. We have managed to remain quite idiot/spam proof up to now, in a self moderating way. As we open of course we will have all kinds of weird stuff posted to Seesmic and we want to avoid them changing the current seesmic culture. Working on it.

In the meantime, what's new is that anybody can get now a Seesmic invite easily and in less than 24 hours. See you in Seesmic.
