Robert Scoble’s Google + Tips Summarized:
• Create a manageable set of circles (e.g., Friends, Family, Tech Geeks, Co-workers)
• Learn how to distribute content to circles. (Talking Tech circle)
• Create a “home circle" and add people you want to see everyday. Or create a “Noise” circle to help eliminate people who post a lot.
• If a post is getting a lot of comments (resembling a discussion forum) then mute it.
• Turn off e-mail notifications and use SMS or filter them in Gmail.
