Well, fortunately, it is upgraded by all the Aston Martin and robot-goodness karma I bring.



So. It's all good.

But, in all seriousness, I'm really digging the upgrades to the search capabilities to Plus. Well done.

I do not like things that are not intuitive...

I upload a picture and want to share it with multiple circles.

This should not be difficult.

It is.

Now it appears as a post for EACH circle I share it with?

Why not let me add multiple circles at once?

Am I sofa king? Wat am I missing?

you can, easiest way is on the left where your stream for all your cirlces are listed, if you are on the main stream for all your circles, each post you make will be defaulted to all circles. If you aren't you can click add circles/friends when making a post.

Not sure how many people still use this but the Google just updated the Google+ app for Android and its looking a lot nicer (ICS style app):

https://plus.google.com/u/0/10796852...ts/1fkf5A4Kom8


Doesn't have all of the features from the web version (the recently introduced What's Hot and Ripples) but now you can send pics in Messenger (aka Huddle). Google added a lots of new features in Google+ the past couple of days if you guys haven't checked it in a while. Have yet to try the Mobile Hangout maybe one of these days. lol.

^ i found that real life friends suck on G+


It's very interesting to start adding LOTS of random people.
then you can weed out the useless post/people.

I have some very interesting friends on G+
Everything from politics to android news to girls sharing their dirty thoughts.

you should be able too??

Anyway I like it, I've had a similar look because it came out in labs earlier. But this version is more functional.

I love how it adjusts to your browser! Now when I make it half a screen it will adjust!

I like it.

No, in the current older version under themes you can 'create your own theme'. The new version currently doesn't have it. They need that so I can use my own colors in the theme or better yet let us upload a pic of our own for the background.

Send feedback. They'll probably implement it eventually. They're just waiting to clean out bugs first.

This is pretty cool. Some people on Google+ have created a Secret Santa page where you can post your public Amazon wishlist. The community then can gift you secretly or you can gift others secretly. You do need to put your shipping info but only your name and city will be public.

How to enter your wishlist and how to gift:

https://plus.google.com/113269791493...ts/4VoCPUqeXff


Post your wishlist here as this is their latest post on the page although I'm sure they'd get a notification if you post on the other posts:

Dudes, the whole point of G+ is to circle people that you find interesting.
in the search bar you can type in your interest.
Find friends from all over the world.


for example: photography


you can then network with TONNES of people that have the same interest as you.


I've met lots of cool local people!!!
Remember to engage!!!!


My name is Justin Myers. search for justnspace.
I can introduce you to some of the trendy people on G+.


its all about engagement.
engage your audience.
Circle the hawt bishes!!!!!!!!

Well I've added a few pictures and found a few people from Acurazine, including Justin, but that's about it. It's taking me a while to get used to it, I've always had Facebook.

I spend a lot of time in the "What's Hot" section. Always find something funny, interesting there. Oh and yeah, circle a lot of random people. It makes it more fun and useful that way.
