Newcomers to Google+ have been blocking strangers who add them to circles just because they don't understand the principle of Circles.  Blocking in this case is quite unnecessary:On Google+ anyone can add anyone in their circles and start following the posts.Those who follow you on the Plus don't see anything you post to your circles, only your Public posts or the posts to Extended circles

I posted about 'Who sees your post?' and the feedback from both Google and my Circleverse was great!Who sees the content you post in the stream?Remember: Your public posts show also in the streams of all who have you in their circles, depending on their settings. No need to post limited unless you really don't want anyone not in your circles or  outside Google+ to see your content.Public =

Very many newcomers to Google+ are annoyed that strangers are posting in their streams. That's why in so many "popular" posts the comments are a bit acrimonious.Why do you get stranger's posts in your stream?The Explore stream portrays popular posts from users. On this tab you can also find your Google+ saved searches.The amount and quality of the WH posts depend on your Google+ account language

Follow the leaders?- Thoughts about getting in those circles... Also for business pages!I can’t say this often enough: If you want to have people circling you, first you should be doing this to people yourself. There are lots of lists the search and suggestions for all interests and now you can ask people to share their circles with you directly, either in private or in public.Try searching

Based on a few discussions I've had with my circlers both on my private profile and my Pages I felt the need to write about the choices we all have on Google+.It's all about followers, isn't it? (WRONG!)Let's assume you are 'a publisher', i.e. you post most of your stuff publicly on Google+. It is quite normal that you are perhaps interested in various things, not just in one narrow sector.

About the new personal mute feature compared to 'Ignore'With Ignore you do not add the person to your circles and they cannot notify you.With personal mute you can have the person in your circles but don't receive any notifications from them, however you still see their posts in your stream depending on the circle settings by the slider.You can also mute someone directly from a post by clicking

The hashtags used on Google+ work in two ways:You can click on them and they will take you straight to the search, showing posts with the hashtag in question. People who search for a certain topic can do so with or without the # and a keyword: You get slightly different results with either method, I've noticed.Using hashes is a good way to get your posts noticed by the public, not just in photo

Differences between Google+ Pages and Google+ Profiles:  Pages are extremely similar to profiles, but they have some key differences.- Pages can be made for a variety of different entities whereas profiles can only be made for people.- The default privacy setting for elements on your page profile is public.- Pages can’t play games.- Pages don’t have the option to share to ‘Extended circles’.

Beginners tip: Do you have 'Favorite' circles?I have set my Home pages' top two (empty) circles to be 'Later' and 'Drafts'When I find something interesting: A link, a long post or useful info, I save them to an empty circle called 'Later'. Then I can read the post when I have time, or if I'd like to reshare the post later for my circles or extended circles I can just do it from there.

Using the +1 or the share button:The difference between the old +1 button and the fairly new Share button+1 is always public.

Can we enjoy the best of all the social media worlds?The simplest way I can describe the difference between Facebook and Google Plus is that while Facebook helps you to keep in touch with the people you already know, Google+ helps you to get in touch with the people you want to know.With Twitter you can keep abreast of the fast paced news world, see where your friends have checked in lately and
