Alright, added some of you guys. LET'S DO THIS SHIT!

Kinda feels like being really excited for a Friday night, but it's 5:30 and you still have 3 hours of waiting around until the real party starts.

I signed up (thanks jiji!) but I can't find anyone so it's like Facebook, except with nobody, and that kind of sucks :X

TEEEPO · « **Reply #122 on:** July 11, 2011, 11:59:54 PM »

someone should all the work and make a list of members with a link to their profiles so i can get this circle going.

So far almost everyone I know is like, "Google what?

" Then I explain it and they go, "Ohhhh so like Facebook!!!" Fuck, why didn't I think of that? Would've saved me 2 minutes.

"Google+ you ask? It's Facebook." smh, in 2 months when they become the G+ expert, I'll make sure to add them to my "Other" circle.

So is there a way for someone to make public circles/groups/lists whatever so we can make an Evilbore circle without having to go find everyone ourselves?

Not yet, but it's toward the top of Google's list from what I understand. That and sub-circles.

Just shows up in the stream unless you add someone specifically, then they get a notification.

edit2: how are people adding me, I'm getting notifications, but it's saying I'm not in any of their circles... I thought you had to add someone to a circle otherwise they're not added

Even more annoying is it saying only 3 people have me in their circles when it actually 14. Makes me seem even more unpopular :'(

If you block posts from someone do they know? One of my brother's friends added me and I figured I'd add him to the "obscure circle that will not see any of my posts but will give the nicety of adding him back" but apparently he spams posts like a madman and I want to block them.

I'm not even courtesy-circling people on G+. Fuck that, I'm done with faux-friending. If they add me, they can see my public posts and I will not see anything from them ever. I'M TALKING TO YOU, FEDERMAN!

Probably because they want to flesh out their now-barren circles. When (if) G+ gains more popularity and people have enough real life friends to populate their circles i'm sure it'll become much rarer.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #170 on:** July 15, 2011, 03:52:53 PM »

I've been ignoring this thing up until Patel talked about it on FB, and now I'm slightly intrigued. I'm someone who hasn't been entirely convinced of FB and Twitter widely different approaches social networking, so I'm willing to try something new. Any spare invites left?

demi · « **Reply #172 on:** July 15, 2011, 04:09:25 PM »

If you aren't "social" in the first place - G+ wont be any different (even worse, no Bejeweled Blitz). The only positive I can see is that this one is less intrusive, and is "part" of the everyday services you use with GMail, YouTube, etc. so it's not much of an eyesore.

You log into GMail, you sign onto your Google Reader, iGoogle, and there's the top bar with notifications that people replied to your stuff, added you, etc.

I'm not against social networking, but I found FB and Twitter approaches lacking in a few key areas; the former is harder to manage and very bloated while the latter encourages everyone to spam and doesn't foster extended conversations, by definition.

Mt biggest gripe about SN will always be trying to convince the people that matter to jump ships, regardless of the service's quality. And I really don't really have it in me to invest in more than one service.

Having said that, I'm still liking what I'm hearing about G+.

Then:
1. Don't add them to your (active) Circles.
2. Don't post things Publicly or to a Circle they are a member of.

You'll never see their posts, and they'll never see your posts. When someone adds you to a Circle it's like "Following" on Twitter. It doesn't mean shit to you or your posts.
