One suggestion posted, somewhere, was to cross reference the GMail contact list with people who requested an invite. Then send invites to people on both lists earlier in the process.

It may not be the best approach but it would help bring people into the system with something in common.

Alternatively, rank the people on the "keep me posted" list by their network centrality within their group of contacts, invite the ones of more centrality first, and give them a limited number of invites to give away themselves.

(That is: select evangelists from the "keep me posted" list, invite them first, and let 'em do their work.)

If they aren't already doing this, then they should really start soon.
