- amirmc 15y agoI have a better question. How many of these people are actually posting? It feels a little pointless to follow a bunch of people who have no public posts. I've gone through all the links in this thread (at the time of writing) and included only those where I can see posts (i.e more than just uploading a profile photo). I've simply copy/pasted the links from the original submitters into this post. Hope it's useful.

- sssparkkk 15y agoSo, how are these hackers sharing their technical insights on G+ without bothering their real-life friends and family? That's right, they aren't. Unless you manually add all your followers to a 'followers' circle and share to that (and subsequently pollute your default stream with your followers' posts) there's currently no way on G+ to keep your technical public persona apart from your more personal, private one.
- dfxm12 15y agoIn all honesty, if these people really care about this, they'll have an account for their "online personality" and a personal account. See the difference between Facebook fan pages and actual Facebook profiles. Of course, now the problem is that there is no elegant way (currently) to manage 2 G+ accounts...
- ResearchShows 15y agoSounds like it's working as intended. Facebook for friends and family, Google+ for all the tech and work stuff.
- wccrawford 15y agoIs that really a concern? For now, their friends and family can ignore any posts they don't care about, just like Facebook. Hopefully, G+ will eventually implement tagging and people can filter out tags they don't like.
- ccarella 15y agoI have a very early stage startup called Subjot, with a goal to create a network that matches people with the posts they care about. We are in private beta but you can use this invite code to check it out - http://sjot.it/m0bqQy http://sjot.it/m0bqQy Subjot is a microblogging site where you assign subjects to your status updates. Then instead of following people and EVERYTHING they post, you subscribe to people's subjects and only see their status updates in the subjects you have subscribed to. I'd love everyone's feedback on the product. I think G+ is only solving the problem of selectively publishing and not of selectively subscribing to updates that might be interesting to you.

- seri 15y agoIt seems to me that the most active use for G+ at the moment is as a broadcasting system, very much like Twitter. Maybe Google has envisioned this, maybe not. I admit I didn't. I thought Google would have done whatever it takes to promote more intimate and private communication among close friend circles. But while G+ is arguably a better broadcasting system than Twitter, it is still broken. A tech celeb would love to consistently post tech stuffs, but while this activity satisfies his geeky followers, it would annoy his friends and families. And there is no way a tech celeb can manually add his followers into different circles. I imagine if G+ fixes this problem, it will completely replace Twitter in no time at all. One solution is to introduce a concept called Channels. Suppose I follow DHH. The problem is DHH has a lot of interests, ranging from Ruby, entrepreneurship, to Forbes bashing (DHH fans bear it with me here). Now DHH doesn't know who among his followers cares about which of his interests, but he creates some Channels, namely "Ruby", "Entrepreneurship", "Forbes Bashing", etc anyway, so followers can filter themselves. Now a Rails guy found DHH's G+ page. He would like to follow DHH, but he doesn't care so much about DHH's financial insight. Now that when he adds DHH to his "Follow" Circle, he can choose to pick some among many DHH's Channels and everyone is happy. Finally, DHH's "public" posts are only visible to those who specifically added him to the "Follow" circle.
- mkr-hn 15y agoSounds like it would work like the feed-anywhere system on WordPress. I could grab the robotics feed from an interesting person at example.com/robotics/feed/ and easily forget that it's actually a competitive crochet blog.
- NinetyNine 15y agoI've been working on an early stage startup which does something very similar to this, although less celebrity focused and more on common circles. It's funny actually, when Google+ happened, I figured they did exactly what we've been working on, but they didn't. Seeing as everyone on HN seems to want something like this now though, it seems to be putting a lot of pressure on.
- soilandreyes 15y agoI guess the reason is that for most people, almost none of their personal friends have signed up - only their techie circles are there.
