How to stay informed with Google+?

Google+ is reinventing itself with several advanced features that is lacking in Facebook as Twitter and LinkedIn etc. The most important being the process of disseminating information. This may be some of the many reasons why Google+ is shining in the social networking field with its ability to connect and share with people.

Selective information gathering with Circles

Easy to organize whom you follows in to the Circles depending on multiple criteria

Then the users will have to choose the updates from the specific circles that they wish to see

The updates in those specific circles are known as Streams

It has to be noted that the default Stream provides users with updates from anyone that the users have added on to the specific chosen Circle

Users now can select the streams regarding the specific circles that they wish to see

One of the major attractions that come with Google’s main stream is the customization that can be done regarding the amount of updates that the users are able to see from each circle. The slider that is present helps the users with the capability of preventing Google+ from showing the Circle’s updates. Users can also customize it by just showing a fewer selective updates only.

If the user wants to show everything from the circle, then selecting the Default Stream will do the job.

Information by using Sparks

Sparks can be considered as another important feature that can be placed on top of the information.

Sparks can be considered as a news stream that has been integrated in to Google+
