The flood gates have opened

For quite a while now Gmail has been telling me that I could invite 6 people to use their service. Unfortunately I don't think I know 6 people who are looking for another email address. This morning, however, I notice that I've been bumped up to 50 invites. I assume that I'm not special, and all Gmail users now have many available invites.

Thanks for using Gmail and helping us improve the service. We're ready to expand our test to a few more users, and because you've been a trusted early tester of Gmail, we're looking for your help. Please invite a few more people who you think would like Gmail and could help us make it even better.

I've you've been trying to get a Gmail account, but no one would give you one, now must be the time. Just find anyone with a Gmail account, and I'm sure they can spare a dozen or so for you.
