In our continuing effort to keep you abreast of all of Grooveshark’s features, we present you with a quick howto on using Grooveshark’s Invite system (or at least show you where it is).
The first step is to ensure you have registered for Grooveshark. It’s free, and if downloading music isn’t your cup of tea, you can still use Grooveshark’s personal radio for full-streaming.
Now that you have your account setup, let’s get going.
On your homepage you’ll see the latest songs from the community on the billboard, the top users, and the top playlists.
AND, if you scroll down to about 3/4 of the page, you’ll see the “INVITATIONS” section on the right hand column.
Currently we don’t have the ability to import your contacts from Gmail, Yahoo, etc. but we figure you don’t want to blast your entire email list anyway.
Grab your friends’ email addresses, and stick them into the invite manager one at a time, be sure to keep the “add this person..” box checked so that your friends will become your ..friends on Grooveshark as well.
Sometimes your friends might not open their emails immediately; I have a number of friends who do this, so make sure to keep bugging them until they finally signup. I’ve found that getting my friends to sign up for Grooveshark is the hard part, but once they’re on the site and start using it, they’re always giving me the “why didn’t you tell me about this sooner, blah, blah.”
Now, I’m not supposed to tell you this, but the Grooveshark algorithm may take into account the amount of friends you have on the system, and the amount of friends you refer to the community in determining how often you receive recompensation ($.25 credits), so it’s in your best interest to get your buds on the site as well.
Remember, to enjoy our free full length streaming and personal radio, you must register or check our InviteShare if you just can’t wait !

Was it immature of me to laugh when I saw that the word “abreast” had a link attached?

The author probably included that intentionally, sort of a reference to the Thanksgiving turkey, perhaps?
