I would like to hope that all the people adding me on G+ from GAF actually know who I am. I don't really want randoms on my G+.

I know who you are.


....


Have I added you yet? *eyes you*

For what it's worth, it's pretty easy to handle the large number of GAF people. Just click on the side for Friends posts or Family posts, or whatever. The ability to separate things out like that is really nice.

When someone adds you on G+, it means that they put you on a circle, right?

Does it take a while to update who has put you on a circle on your profile?

Has anyone read anything about circle groups or shared circles or I don't know how to call it, something like a universal circle where once you're in it, you're in it?

Try adding it again, maybe it was a glitch

Tried it multiple times...well that proved to be useless (the chat, not G+). If I can't auto add people then...I can't really chat with any of my friends. Wonder why it doesn't work

I got an invite from my cousin who lives in South America, I accepted it but everything is in spanish.

Is there anyway to change the language of Google+?

Why?

You'll get a notification you've been put in a circle, but you won't get a notification when you've been dropped from a circle.

How do you get on the GAF page?

There isn't a centrally controlled circle - just create one of your own and add GAF people to it.

I don't think they've gone as far as adding centrally controlled groups yet, I'm sure it'll come later.

Now to figure out how to get in the GAF circle?!

They aren't like Facebook groups. They are how you categorize people, the channels through which you share things only with those whom it is relevant. Essentially it is like Labels in Gmail applied to social networking, including the ability for one person to be in multiple circles.

For you guys with android phones, a really easy way to share your gaf circle is to start a GAF Huddle and only invite your gaf circle.

Everyone in the huddle will have access to your circle list, and you can add then en masse real easily. Then anybody inside the huddle can invite their gaf circle to the huddle and list will grow.

I added like 60 people all at once last time.

I don't believe so....but I've seen someone mention something about 10 active people at a time...but that doesn't seem right.


JTwo: is that gaf huddle still going on?

The android app is fantastic. I didn't realize but it also installs a seperate Huddle app so you can launch into a huddle convo straight from the homescreen instead of going through the G+ app.

Also, the Huddle feature NEEDS to be in other OS version of the apps, kinda pointless if it's not. I don't know what to do with Gtalk now, they either need to get rid of it or just combine it somehow into one central texting/messaging app. If they expand on Huddles, it can be Google's "iMessage" or BBM.

The photo instant upload is great too! :)

The instructions say that you can add up to 50 people in a huddle. The 10 active people are for Hangouts I believe.

I really hope they support other phone OS implementations as well as Android--really want this on WP7. I would think they'd have to, if they want this to be a legit competitor to Facebook in terms of usage.

Has anyone been having problems with chat? It says I'm online right now but my friends don't see me and they can see each other. I'm using Firefox.

BTW: they have added me on their circles and I just tried on Chrome with similar results.

Does this adding circles to gchat thing take a long time? I did it a couple days ago and nothing's happened
Click to expand...

Well, do you know if anyone in the circles you've added to your chat list has added you to theirs? It's not enough that you just add them (which should be obvious if you think about it).

Another thing I just found out: I've been wondering why I've only been getting push notifications about new Huddle messages to my phone, and not about anything else (have only been getting those when launching the app). Turns out to have to go to the Google+ settings (in your desktop browser) and enable the other types of notifications you want pushed to your phone. For some reason they're all (except for Huddle messages) disabled by default, unlike e-mail notifications.

You son of a b, you added me with your dummy profile didn't you? Suppose I should delete it then.
