Posting To ‘Public’ In Google Plus

Posted in Review on October 29th, 2011 by skylercall – 2 Comments

After a long wait of being left out, Google Apps users were finally granted access to Google Plus this week. Imagine my excitement when I heard the news. I have been looking forward to trying out Google’s attempt at dividing conversations into interest groups known as Circles; something they have pushed since the launch of Google Plus. See the embedded video from YouTube if this is news to you.

Unfortunately, I quickly found that many people are posting primarily to the public and not effectively using Circles. I might follow you for a specific reason and don’t want my time used up sorting though the mess of “status updates” and silly posts to get to what I came for. If you are easily offended, do not read the graphic to the right.

I look forward to Google Plus improving as individuals explore its features and find their place in this new community.
