I can send google+ invites to anyone, just need a gmail address or hotmail/yahoo that has a google account associated.
Not a fan of Diaspora*, simply because im not a fan of the multiple urls called seeds like diasp.org, joindiaspora, diaspora.eu etc. if i join a network, i want my id to be unique. anyone can create a diasp.domain etc with my name and claim to be me.
