Oak Knoll Mom Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm still peeved that G+ reset all my circles, and emptied most of them.So if we used to be in contact, and are no longer, just feel free to notify me again. I've lost track of who's who. G+ isn't very stable yet. When did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Okay, I'm trying to do this. I've joined and now it wants me to add people to my circles. The suggestions are people I don't know. Well, I know one, but he is not someone I want to add. So, is there anyone who wants to be in my circle? I'll just leave that page open until I get a brave volunteer. :lol: I've got to get some IRL friends who like technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I add them as friends but they don't add me, I don't see their feeds, right? Like on FB? They will get a notice that you've circled them and have the chance to circle you back. If they don't circle you back, you will still see any post they share publicly. If they do circle you back, you will see any post they share with whatever circle they put you in. Clear as mud?

Kertie Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'd love to know other homeschoolers who are on G+ to add to my homeschool circle. :) Is anybody on and tinkering with it who would be willing to connect? LOVE this idea!! I'm on it and excited about it--still tinkering, but have figured enough out to like it way better than FB. But, that could be just a personal preference:). The "hangout" feature is really great--works well. Anyway, I'll pm you! And create a homeschool circle:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way to do that would be to add the entire population of TWTM forums as a group. But we have a lot of members who post once or twice or 50 times never to be heard from again.

Oak Knoll Mom Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Can somebody add me to TWTM circle? I like the idea of having seperate social circles: TWTM, family, friends, kids schools, etc. TIA Google+ circles aren't like fb groups. It's more like fb friends lists. You aren't added to a group, but rather you create a circle. Go to the circles page (little icon at the top of your page) and create a circle called WTM. Then go to this list and add all of us to that circle. Now, when you go to google+, you can click on your WTM circle (listed in the left hand column) and see what we're all talking about. When you post something that you only want the WTM boardies to see, you click on "+Add circles or people to share with..." and choose your WTM circle. Oh and make sure you add yourself to the list so we know which circle to add you to! Edited September 25, 2011 by Oak Knoll Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL So if you get a notification that a Kirsten is "after" you, have no fear. Just trying to build up a homeschooling circle:). My profile pic is a black-and-white of me as a bald-headed infant:).

Georgiana Daniels Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Before I sign up, I have a question: When people from one circle respond to a post you make public, can everyone in other circles see it? This is the whole reason I left FB--I could NOT keep my family/professional separate, and things family would say were completely inappropriate for my professional connections to see.
