This post is being written as both a good news announcement for those still waiting for a Google Voice invitation and also a warning to those that already have a Google Voice account.

First, for those current users, be prepared to begin receiving more than your fair share of people begging you for a Google Voice invitation.  Of course, at this point you are most likely wondering why, after all Google Voice does not allow individual users to invite one friends.  Well, that is where the good news comes into play.

Beginning today current Google Voice users will start to see an “Invite a friend” link on the left hand side of their Google Voice inbox.  In other words we will finally be able to invite people that we deem worthy.

There is a catch however, these “Invite a friend” links are going to be showing up beginning today, however you may not see it in your account for a little while.  According to the Google Voice blog, it could show up sometime in the next few weeks.

Additionally, the first wave of invite links will be limited to three (to give out) per person and they will not be received immediately, instead those will be rolling out “gradually.”

And just in case you feel the need, yes I am a current Google Voice user, but have not yet seen the “invite a friend” link in my inbox, but I will say, those first three will likely go to family members anyway.
