According to GV’s Twitter account , invites are starting to go out en masse. Now, don’t start going crazy if you’ve registered for an invite and don’t see anything hit your inbox today — as Google Voice head Craig Walker notes, the waiting list is a bit lengthy to say the least: About GV invites…there’s a pretty long list as you can imagine…will take a little bit to get through them all:) In due time, in due time.

So it makes sense that Commissioner Carolyn Bivens wants players to embrace social media tools in order to boost interest in the flagging tour. But tweeting during play?

Even Google Search is only creeping along slowly right now, and YouTube, Google Reader, Blogger, Google Analytics, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Apps are pretty much unavailable as well.
