Google+ oversharing issues – a video walk through

July 7, 2011 by Angela Wilkinson 7 Comments

While watching the Facebook Announcement on Video chat I was also messing around with Google plus, reorganising my existing circles and looking forward to reorganising all my remaining contacts. Mark Zuckerberg talked about sharing and the growth that is being seen in sharing activity, did you know that there are over 4 billion things shared every day?

It got me thinking that I should perhaps stop having fun “circling” my friends and take a look at the privacy and sharing settings on Google+. If you’ve just set up your Google+ account this quick walk through should be of use, especially if you’ve been focusing on the more exciting functionality of circles and huddles.

Although Google are advising that a Google+ experience for business will be coming in this year, there may be times when showing you as an individual is appropriate and if you want to use Google+ as an individual, now is the time to become more familiar with the privacy settings as Google has confirmed this week that private profiles will be deleted at the end of July.

If you have concerns about oversharing this short video will show you the options that are available for both your profile, the things you share and for those ever popular circles.

    My thoughts on Google +1

    Clearly lots of benefits for the webmaster, but what’s in it for the punter (so far)?

      Good point Tom and I liked your article’s statement about us now having the “measurability to justify campaigns targeted specifically at driving social action.”

      For the punter it’s still early days and with Google restricting the flow of invites we’re not seeing the full range of different users. A friend posted a similar comment on Facebook last night, he’s on Google+ but not all his friends have got accounts/started using it. In the short term I guess it’s a good thing for those who have chosen not to have a Facebook account but who do want to do all the things that you can with Facebook.

    There has been so much fuss about Google+ lately. It’s much better if we just enjoy it.

      That’s a valid point Webdesign, there’s been lots of forecasting done and opinions given but it is still early days – how are you finding Google+?
