can anyone explain why i can't do all that stuff ? ^^

i created a profile and signed up but i can't create a circle cause i do not have all those buttons next to the google+ logo : /

I have a Google+ account, but whenever I go to the homepage it says you have to be invited or something, and there's only a limited number allowed to sign up. Can you explain this maybe? :)

I just randomly decided to join Google+ so I can make circles of all the major people I watch on YouTube... at least those who have a Google+ and when I was about to make a circle... I could not find the menu... at all, for Google+. I could only see my profile and the search bar that I use to find other people's profiles... what the hell.

@NeverendingTwilight4 got the exact same problem do you by know why it doesn't work

This was really helpful. Thanx. Quick question: do people you've added to a circle see that circle's particular name? So, if I add a friend to "friends" but not "best friends" will she know, for instance, that she's just a "friend" but not a "best friend"?

[splinterwatsup]

@juliereiser No the people you put in a specific circle will not know what the name of the circle they have been added to is called. So if you create a circle called "Idiots" and you add a bunch of people to that circle they will know you added them to a circle but they wont know you added them to the idiot circle ;)

@splinterwatsup thanks!!!

If I share something on a circle, only the people (in that circle) who added me on a circle can see what I shared right? If he doesn't have me, even if I share with him, doesn't mean that he can see, right?

[splinterwatsup]

@segr3do That correct,if the other person has not added you to a circle he/she will not see it on their stream,this makes google+ a lot like twitter in the sense that you can follow people that wont necessarily return the favor. But if you add them to a circle and share with that circle if they come to your profile page they will see what you shared to them,but they need to look directly on your profile.

@splinterwatsup ok, now I understand much better the circle system. thank you for your great help :)

[rockstar186]

Thanks for the video. I just got my Google + invite but I'm still a little confused.

1) Am I unable to read postings from people in my circles until they have added me as well? My stream is blank despite having people already in circles

2) What happens if I drag the people from my gmail who aren't on Google+ in circles? Will invites be automatically be sent?

3) Is Google+ meant for random "stranger" followings like Twitter (like following people you don't know)?

Hope you can help. Thanx

[splinterwatsup]

Hi @rockstar186 thanks for your question.

1) If you added a person into a circle but they dont add you,you will not be able to see that persons posts unless he/she is sending them to the public. ATM a lot of people are posting public stuff to try gain followers,Follow me on google+ and check if I come up(As most of my stuff is public) If its not then you might be doing something wrong.

[splinterwatsup]

@rockstar186 2) Unfortunately it wont automatically send your gmail contacts invites just because you put them in a circle,to send them an invite simply go and post something new and add the circle with the account in it,then tick the box that opens up informing you that there are some contacts who are not on g+/. This will send them an invite.

3)With Google + You can follow stranger and friends just put them in the correct circle!

Is it like facebook and myspace. Do you search for your friends and add them?

[splinterwatsup]

@GFX911 Yes its just like Facebook,you can go and simply search for them in the search box and you will find your friends,as long as they have a google+ account.

[robmundo]

Can my friends see the circles that I've created or is that only visible to me?

[splinterwatsup]

@robmundo Only you can see the circles you have created,this means you can't see your friends or followers circles ether but u can see that you have been added to a users circles however you will not see what the name of the circle is.

@splinterwatsup

That makes much more sense. Thanks!
