Google+ is not Facebook. If you are adding people into your Circles that don't know or never will know, you are doing it wrong.

Google's own research shows that people in their real life social networks tend to have 4 to 6 groups or "circles" with between 2 to 10 people in those groups. The tools that Google has provided in Google+ are really meant to service real life connections.

I am not saying that the internet doesn't afford new ways to interact and new types of relationships, but Circles are specifically meant to share with a specific set of people and, likely, people that you know.

Sharing publicly in Google+ makes little to no sense, despite the fact that Googlers seems to be doing it themselves. Twitter is for public sharing, or Buzz, or a blog or website.

Following a bunch of folks on Google+ or throwing them into Circles is not going to give a positive experience. Ask Robert Scoble. The tools in Google+ are meant more to service real world connections in a virtual space not to service all your virtual relationships in one interface.

Broken magic, dammit.
Well here's the unshortened link while I figure out what went wrong with the mojo

Sword and Laser is now my largest circle, by far.

Make it count, people!

[Jeffrey]

I haven't been invited yet even though I am a heavy Google user.

I read on lifehacker that if an invitee added a non-invitee to one of thie circles the non-invitee would get an invite.

If someone is willing to try it, my address is jswhitsitt@gmail.com

Thanks, Jeff

Oh, sorry for the duplicate invite, Jeff! I didn't see the profile link until after I sent the invitation!

Just like to point out that this (gplus.to) is not a Google product. It's an unofficial shortener, just like plus.ly. I have no idea if there could be any privacy and security repercussions from offering a direct link to your page to a third party.

[Paul]

Possibly - however profiles are public at the moment so it is findable in most cases

So dude, are you linked up to some of the other S&Lers. How do we circle you then?

[Al]

I don't see where my gplus.to url is so https://plus.google.com/u/0/110193882...

[Paul]

go to gplus.to and enter a name in the nickname then enter your id in the id box - your id is 110193882671324386332 taken from your link above

I solemnly swear (to try) to only post Sword & Laser related updates to the fine Sword & Laser people, and to not abuse your trust by sharing inane kitten videos and travel reports...

Well, I said I'd try!

[Anne]

What? No kitten videos? I'm disappointed.
