GooglePlus Helper: Shared circles and circle tips on Google+ | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

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 and suggestions for all interests and you can ask people to share their circles with you directly, either in private or publicly.
Try searching Google+ for "shared a circle with you" and save the search, then you'll have a never ending supply of interesting people, recommended by the Plussers.

How Not to use Google+

How Not to use Google+ | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it
Understanding what you should and should not be doing on social networks like Google+ is often challenging. Here are 9 of the most common mistakes people make on Google+.
Jaana Nyström's insight:

Is Your Foundation Strong, or Crumbling?

Social Networks, particularly Google+, can be immensely rewarding and valuable, both personally and professionally. They're a tool with with you can connect with and engage all kinds of other people.

But in order for those relationships to last, they have to be built on a strong foundation. In a nutshell, that means being a Good Social Citizen. The problem is, Google won't tell you what that means. Just because you've created a Google+ account, that doesn't mean you'll automatically know what you should and shouldn't do.
