The stream is basically the equivalent of the Facebook news feed, You can chat directly in the stream. You can search for people from the search box at the top of the stream. When you share something with Google+ it’s added to your stream and the stream of everyone you shared with. You can use the Google +1 button from the stream. You can “reshare” posts made by others (like retweeting) . The stream shows you what all of your Circles have shared with you. you can delete the post and share again to different circles. You can see who specific posts were shared with in the stream – whether they were shared publicly. You can filter the stream by specific Circles. you can create new circles right from the Stream.

you can search for almost anything from the Stream, just type +(someone/thing).

This isn’t every single thing there is to know about Google+.

How Google+ Hangouts operates.

2011-07-10T07:39:00.000-07:00

Here are some basics to know about the Hangouts in G-Plus.

you can only have 10 people in a hangout at a time. you might see X is hanging out with 9 people. that's 10... "X" + 9.

while the hangout is "live" we show only those who have been there. After it's done, we list the folks who were there at some point... up to 30 (X + 29). Why 30? uh... technical reasons, not logical ones.

you cannot remove yourself from that list. we did this intentionally. given the nature of the net, we cannot prevent bad behavior. But we can do things to help deter. By leaving your signature on the hangout post, folks know you were there. if someone was trolling, you don't have to ask "who was that guy?" you can find his signature then block or report abuse. only the owner of the post can delete, and they would then delete the whole post. but, anyone who had joined could have reposted. So even then, the original poster doesn't control it (which fits in line with our "no master of the hangout" principle).

i know that our design isn't perfect, and there are down sides and up sides to every choice we make. so we may evolve or change things as we learn more about how hangouts are used. but this is how i think about this aspect of hangouts at this time.

Google+ tips: Sending Private Messages, Sparks

2011-07-08T07:31:00.000-07:00

Here are some good tips on how to use Google+ Network, shared by the GooglePlus Community.

If you want to send a private message to someone, just use "+SomeonesName" before your message, like "+John Doe Hey! How have you been?" You can also have a private conversation that way with more than one person without having to create a temporary Circle.

If you select a Circle on the left side of the screen, below the Stream link, that will be the default Circle for the messages you write next.

You can reply to comments and other events right from the notification bar on the top right (click the red square with a number). You can also view a list of recent stuff on the Notifications view (link to the left, under your Stream and Circles).

The Incoming view shows what people that follow you are sharing with you, even if you don't follow them back.

If you want to share something to someone who does not have a Google+ account, you can type "+***** Some Message or Link", and G+ will e-mail it to them through your attached GMail account.

Hashtags have no value here (yet).

Use Sparks to get news about the stuff you're into. Add keywords and let Google fetch the latest news for you.

The Circles/People bar that appears under the Post field (where you select the circles and people to share with) accepts auto-complete for Circles, names, e-mails and even number of people in a group - for example, if you have a complete soccer team in a circle (11 people), you can type "11" to find it.
