An invitation is sent to each of the plurality of unregistered users to join the social networking service and two or more requests to join the social networking service are received from two or more interested users, respectively, the two or more interested users being included in the plurality of unregistered users. Each of the two or more interested users is registered to use the social networking service based at least in part on a join criterion.
