They're hoping to do the same thing they did with Gmail: use artificial scarcity to their advantage.

It'll work if the people there get invites - that way it'll gradually expand until it opens up to everybody.

It's more natural with an email client, though, because email is already federated, so interoperable with the existing email system. This doesn't appear to be.
