What is Google+? Google+ is the latest social media innovation offering a series of tools to help you stay connected with the people you care about. Google+ comprises of several new features including Circles, Sparks, Hangouts, Mobile, Location, Instant Upload, and Huddle. Here is a quick video of the project and we‟ll go through each feature. Check out this short video for an introduction to Google+.
Getting Started With Google+ • Google+ can be accessed from http://google.com/+ or http://plus.google.com or http://google.com/plus or, for mobile device, from http://m.google.com/plus. • Google+ has a “+1” feature that functions in the same way as the “Like” feature on Facebook. Step 1: Setup a Google Profile. Once you have access to Google +, the first time you attempt to access the homepage will bring you to a pop- up window that will prompt you to create a Google Profile or update your existing one.
Getting Started With Google+Step 2:At this step you will also be prompted to integrate your Picasa photo albums. Theyll betransferred with the same security settings as they had before (ie: if an album was onlyshared with a few people, only those people will still have access), but you might want togo through your albums.
Getting Started With Google+Step 3: Establish your Circles1. Click on the circle tab. This opens a page where all of your circles will be displayed.2. On the left there will be blank circle with text drop here to create a circle written inside it. Just hover it an then the text will change to Create Circle now make a click on that.3. Type in the name for new circle and then click on create Create Empty Circle.
Getting Started With Google+ Step 4: Check your privacy settings Click on your name in the upper right corner of the screen and select Account Settings from the context menu. Switch to Google+ to access the notification preferences. All notifications are enabled by default and usually linked to the primary email address of the Google+ user. I suggest you look at the notification settings and modify them according to your needs. If you do not want to receive notifications at all, disable everything on that screen.
Getting Started With Google+Step 5: Add your contactsAt the moment Google+ only allows you toimport your HotMail or Yahoo contacts whileyour Gmail contacts will already be listed.Tip: Learn from your mistakes at Facebook -start from scratch and experience a newsfeednot cluttered by the frivolity of high school"friends."
Getting Started With Google+ Step 6: Organize a Huddle Huddle is a new way for you to easily stay in touch while youre on the go. With Huddle, you can text groups of people or individual friends in Google+ Mobile 1. From the Google+ Home screen, touch Huddle. 2. Touch the conversation icon to start a huddle. 3. Start to type the name of a person or circle youd like to add. Add up to 50 people to each huddle. 4. Write your message. 5. Touch Done. Your message will be sent instantly. When you start a huddle with someone for the first time, theyll automatically receive an invitation to join your huddle.
Getting Started With Google+Step 7: Master the Hangout (Check out this video)Hangouts mixes the stuffiness of webcam conferencing with thebreeziness of, well, hanging out.You can start a hangout from the stream whenever you want. You caneither go to plus.google.com/hangouts or simply click the green Start aHangout button on the side of your stream.Youll be taken to a "green room" where you‟ll get help to get yourcamera set up and choose additional circles or individuals to add. Noone can see you while youre in the green room. Once you click thegreen Hang Out button your video feed will be broadcast.

+Stream The Stream brings together information from friends in much the same way as the Facebook News Feed. Features: • Unlimited Characters! • Filter your stream by Circles • Edit your post • Delete your post • Link to this post • Disable Comments • Disable Reshare • Share photos, videos, links & location • Upload photos via drag and drop
+CirclesShare the RIGHT information with the RIGHT peopleGoogle+ redefines privacy in the social network by forcing you to group everyone you want toconnect with into Circles. It provides four default circles to get you started: • Friends - your closest buddies who you share those drunk pictures with. • Family - your parents and siblings and in-laws who you share pictures of the baby with. • Acquaintances - your work buddies who you dont want to know why youre really skipping work today. • Following - the public people youre interested in, who probably dont know you in real life. You can then define your own circles or modify the existing ones to fit whatever grouping you need.
+Circles Manage your social circle and organize your contacts into groups for targeting your posts. No one can see what youve named your circles, or what circle they are in. You can easily drag and drop friends into circles. Go to the Settings Gear and select Profile and Privacy to see how your profile looks to other users. Type in a user name from different circles and click Preview to see what your profile looks like from the specified user. Watch this video on Circles

How to Send a Private MessageIn Google+ both public and private messages are sent from the same place. When you post astream update, you can decide precisely who receives the message. If you want to send aprivate message, just @mention the person or their email address in the stream and update andmake sure that “public” or none of your circles are added.① In the Stream area, click “Share what‟s new…“.② Use the @ symbol followed by your friend‟s username or email to add them to the stream update.③ Make sure that the public tag is not added and make sure that there are no circles added to the message.④ Click Share and your message will be sent!

+Cheat SheetThis is your basic Google+ CheatSheet, courtesy of Simon Laustsen.
+Friend Cap Like Facebook, Google+ has put on a cap on the amount of friends you can have.
+Vanity URL Currently Google Plus profile URLs are defined by a long string of numbers and Google+ doesnt offer its own vanity URL shorteners (yet) like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn There are some alternatives here. http://bit.ly/pa1WEp You can use a third-party service at your own risk, such as Google Plus Nick. Just copy and paste the numbers on your profile URL after "plus.google.com/".
