I'm not social enough for this browser, I can't "connect" for an invitation if I don't have facebook and there is no other method to get an invite? I hate it when websites do that.

Normally I'd agree with you, but in this case you're signing up for a beta for a web browser that is (at least right now) almost entirely built around Facebook. If you don't have a Facebook account, why do you want an invite?

(quick edit: I'm genuinely curious--sorry if that came off a bit mean, that wasn't my intention.)

The on site video shows twitter and other sites. You're right though. I think I was more complaining about about site doing this facebook connect only thing.
