Things have changed so much over the years. The apps that are being created by these tech giants are becoming a great marketing tool.

Promises more granular control on the distribution of Google EarthPlus. It is a major selling point of the circle, which is now at least, Google Plus, most major facets of the Mother.love sms

mostly users face this problem for so many times but there is no solution permanently, but definitely we can found the right one earlier.

since the google reader “like” integration into google+, I have indeed noticed a change in the number of +1′s a post gets. it’s a little early to tell, but I like where this is headed.

Thanks for your deep analysis, I will certainly dig through it properly soon enough. Maybe you care to comment or reshare my attempt to figure out the current situation, as I too have been a very avid Reader user… https://plus.google.com/u/0/106918599239677012839/posts/3ytfzWdVZeg

Your point brought forward is logical. This reminds me of a Google+ posts where an author said you should be creating circles based on content, not by people. So in your instance, if you want tech news to be shared, then you have a Tech circle, just like you described. With Google+ with circles, one could avoid the requirement of having multiple Twitter accounts for different topics.

However, Google+ still is not the solution for your request of the core problem of online identity. This is essentially multiple personalities. It is not achievable in real life. You look the same wherever you present yourself. Representing yourself differently could be even a crime. Anyway, the only common piece of information I could see that is presented for all circles is the Profile Picture. Everything else in Google+ you can limit per circle basis. Therefore, as long as you are happy with your current profile picture, Google+ does solve the problem better than any other service.

Yep! I have faced a similar problem myself. I had my blog hooked up to google buzz, where my friends (my only buzz followers) would comment and like the post. Some people would leave comments on the blog itself. Other times, people would “like” the post and share it from the RSS feed in google reader. People would comment on facebook as well. The whole thing was a giant boondogle.

I’m glad google is killing buzz and integrating reader with plus to make an overall more cohesive platform.

Also, I made a blog post about this very fact:

I really wish commenting, liking, and sharing had a sort of unified structure across the web. My email works with any email client I send it to, I wish there was a better parallel across facebook / twitter / tumblr / etc.
