Blizzard now is allowing current Beta holders a chance to invite a friend to join all the fun.
Quote from: Beta Invite EMail
Congratulations! This is an additional invitation to the beta test for Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft® II: Wings of Liberty™ for you to share with a friend! You are receiving this email because you are currently participating in the StarCraft II beta test, and we want to encourage you to test out some of the social features of the revamped Battle.net® online-gaming service by inviting one of your friends to play with you. This email contains your additional beta key for you to send to a friend, along with instructions to help your friend get started.
This key can only be used once to upgrade a Battle.net account to participate in the beta test, and while we encourage you to share this key with someone you know, it must not be traded or sold.
Once your friend has joined the beta test, be sure to add him or her as a Real ID friend by opening your friends list in the bottom-right corner of the Battle.net interface and selecting Add Friend. Enter your friend's Battle.net email address in the Real ID Friend field that pops up, and then send your request. Once your friend accepts the request, you'll be able to communicate more easily, quickly join parties together for some team-based 2v2 games, and more.
So what are you waiting for? Send this beta test invitation below to your lucky friend and start playing some exciting team games!

It may be nice for those who have the key, but 2 be honest the most

Looks like now the ones that got invited can invite someone else, so this would be the 2nd invite a friend wave.

Why do you think so ?
Most ppl with key(including me) have shared their account with some friend(I know that its forbidden, but everybody wants to play :D ). So this is great opportunity to stop breaking the rules and give that friend a key. Btw as it seems invites chains each others. What I mean is that I got a beta key from a friend and since I have some blizzard games in my account, I received the friend invite beta key mail by Blizzard the day after. I gave it to a friend, which added it to a fresh(without any games added) Battle.net account. He didn't receive a friend invite beta key. So guys if you get invited, give your key to some friend who have some Blizz games in his/her account. In that way he might receive an extra key so that you will actually be able to invite two of your friends.
i hate the fact that it's so hard to get your hands on a key.... =( this sucks i wish someone would just GIVE me one that would be awesome...but then again dont we all?
cant we just give the cd key to one person at a time then they can register it on a b.net account with other games then they give the extra cd key to the site again to give it to someone else with a b.net account with other games on it then repeat?

The problem with that is that people aren't that keen to give their key to a random person on the net. Personally, I'd keep the extra beta key and give it to my friend.
Problem with that is that you don't get an extra key. Its entirely due to play-time; if you were active before the cut off you MAY have gotten a invite-a-friend. Plus keys are binded to accounts, so this would never work.
So... once you create an account on Bnet2.0 you can't create another account without another cdkey?
Who wants to invite me ? : )
