25 Google+ Tips to Enhance Your Google Plus Experience Google has finally rolled out Google+ which is not yet another service like Google Wave and Buzz, but is an amazing and power packed social networking website which is deemed to rise very high and compete with today’s biggies ‘Facebook and Twitter’. I tried out Google+ after getting an invite and found it really interesting, may it be its simple and cool design or the variety of features it offers. One has to accept that Google has done some really good and hard work in bringing out Google+. # Here are some useful Google+ Tips shared by Matt Cutts and users who responded to Matt’s post at Google+. 1. 2. 3.

Google+ and Social Media Elitism So, one of the memes I'm seeing floating around in response to Google+ is how you don't need to reciprocate when people add you to their circles. Some are saying this is a great thing. Really, social media experts? I'm going to throw down and say that the only reason you wouldn't reciprocate in Google+ is because you are a social media elitist. Sure, people will rebut with all kinds of reasons they are on Google+ and don't need to reciprocate circles. The great thing about Google+ is that you don't automatically know what circles people are putting you in. Derwent Artbar Sets and Accessories Make your own mark.

Who is harmed by a "Real Names" policy? This page lists groups of people who are disadvantaged by any policy which bans Pseudonymity and requires so-called "Real names" (more properly, legal names). Often theses policies attempt to reduce or eliminate the veil behind which online bullying, harrassment, and stalking can occur. However, there are unintended consequences to anti-pseudonymity policies. This article is an attempt to create a comprehensive list of groups of people who are affected by such policies. The cost to these people can be vast, including: harassment, both online and offline discrimination in employment, provision of services, etc. The groups of people who use pseudonyms, or want to use pseudonyms, are not a small minority (some of the classes of people who can benefit from pseudonyms constitute up to 50% of the total population, and many of the others are classes of people that almost everyone knows). Marginalised and endangered groups Edit People with direct identity concerns Subject-related considerations
JoomFB - Your Joomla site on Facebook by New Nectar A Weekend With Google+. | The Refined Geek When I wrote about Google+ last week I was under no delusions that I’d be able to get myself into the program before they started doing their open testing. Like Google Wave and Gmail before it I didn’t have any friends who were in on the first round invites so I put my name in the email form and resigned to come back to it after all the hubbub had died down. One of my clever friends (who has recently become a fellow blogger) hit up someone giving out invites on Twitter and was himself granted invites upon joining in. Since my entire group of friends was chomping at the bit to get in and have a go with Google’s latest toy we all jumped at the chance to get in on the action, and I spent the weekend having a fiddle with it. The landing page of Google+ looks eerily similar to that of Facebook’s, with a very familiar 3 column layout that has all the major components in approximately the same positions.
Anti-Pseudonym Bingo – Border House People testing the Google+ social network are discussing increasing evidence that, terms of service requirement or not, Google+ wants people to use their legal names much as Facebook does. Skud shares a heads-up from a user banned for using his initials. Then, for example, see discussion around it on Mark Cuban’s stream, Skud’s stream and Sarah Stokely’s blog. Let’s recap really quickly: wanting to and being able to use your legal name everywhere is associated with privilege. Anyway, in honour of round one million of forgetting about all of this totally, I bring you anti-pseudonymity bingo! Text version at bottom of post. What squares would you add? Quick review of bingo: the idea is to play it against a commenter or a comment thread. Also, yes, thank you, we are aware that a bingo card does not constitute a logical reasoned argument.

How to invite your pals to Google+ A lot of people want to get in on the beta test of Google+, Google's new social-networking service . If you're one of the folks in the in-crowd, there's something you can do to get your friends on board right now. And it's not as obvious as clicking an "invite friends" button to invite them directly. Google opened up that possibility last night but then shut it down after a fleeting moment because of what Google's Vic Gundotra called "insane demand." Instead, you have to use a built-in e-mail option for Google+ that happens to have a viral marketing component. Here are the steps. First, figure out who you'll send invitations to. For friends whose e-mails are already in your Gmail address book or otherwise discoverable in Google+'s Circles section, add them to a special circle you created for G+ invitees. Next, start a new Google+ message, the equivalent of a Facebook update message or a Twitter tweet. Next, address the message. Last, click the "share" button.
Why Twitter doesn’t care what your real name is Amid all the noise and fury over Google’s policy of requiring real names (or at least real-sounding names) on its new Google+ network — a policy that Facebook also has, and one we have been critical of in the past — it’s easy to forget that there’s a pretty large web service that doesn’t much care what your real name is. Although it does prevent you from pretending to be people you aren’t, Twitter doesn’t block or ban users for having pseudonyms the way Google and Facebook do. Why is that? I think it’s because Twitter realizes it can provide plenty of value for users (and thus for advertisers) without having to know your real name. The social web is about reputation and influence, not necessarily names. Not real names — persistent identity with reputation attached Does that sound like any kind of online network you know of? Reputation and influence matters — not names Post and thumbnail photos courtesy of Flickr users Klobetime and Danny Cain
