Google is expanding the availability of its Internet connected eyewear Google Glass to more people, but not the general public just yet.

Google Inc said yesterday that it is allowing the 10,000 or so people who have been testing out its wearable computer to invite three friends each to buy Glass.

The gadget, which works like a smartphone but is worn on your head like glasses, costs $1,500. The invites will be available in the coming weeks.
