I got my invite but I don't want to pay to try out their plus service. If it offers everything Hulu on the computer offers plus a backlog of every season of shows they stream then it's probably worth the money for some people (The ones that don't steal or mind watching ads). I don't really follow many TV shows anymore and I think I'll be fine sticking the 5 trailing episodes per show on my pc.
I just didn't know anyone else that used GMail. They claimed the public "weren't ready" but I'm thinking that's total rubbish, people adopt to new ideas much faster these days than ever before, provided the idea is a good one. They're keeping it running throughout the year before pulling the plug. Good riddance.
