I find circles to be the best part of G+ though I haven't tested hangouts yet. Circles solve the problem I've been having with all these social sites - I can choose what I share and write to specific people. For example natively I am from Latvia so there are loads of Latvian speaking followers, but I also have added most…
Could people please only share to your Polycount Circle in English? I keep getting Russian messages that don't make any sense to me and are therefore not interesting. kthxbye
gplus.to/rashidi add me too if you havent ffs :P sweet to have a polycount circle that might share some nice stuff, a little more informal for smaller news items.
What is up with these "Shared" posts? I'm not talking about the posts that people who I'm following share... I'm talking about this massive amount of stuff that is being shared on my feed, from people who aren't in any of my circles.
Adding them into a circle is the way you add them to your stream. Don't think of it as the Facebook "friends" system, but more like Twitter's "follow" system, with the ability to put people into groups. Don't be shy to follow people you're interested in :) It doesn't have to be mutual.
I just realised this google+ thing has gone public, i think. Its let me sign up anyway. So i'll be adding people to circles. Not sure how it all works yet. Here's me: https://plus.google.com/102572897179418146685/posts
