What is
Google+?
Google+ is literally Google with a plus. The "+" is the social networking
it adds to all of Google's other services, including Gmail, YouTube, and Blogger.
Google+ brings popular social-media features like comments, photo- and
music-sharing, videochat, etc. to your social circles.
It's basically what any user chooses it to be, from an ongoing conversation
to a platform of self-expression, with tools for making it as individual
or collective as you want.

Signing up for Google +
When you first visit Google+, you see a link that invites you to "
sign in with your
Google Account." If you already have a Gmail address you're all set. If not,
click on "
Create an account."
You'll then be asked to answer a few simple questions such as your real name,
a username, a password and your birthday (as we said earlier, to get an account,
you must be at least 13 years old and if a child isn't old enough, they won't
be allowed to use the service).
You will also be given an opportunity to add a profile picture and then you'll be whisked
directly into Google+. The service may also ask you to "find people you know on Google+" by entering an email address from
Yahoo or Hotmail. This is optional. Google+ won't contact the people in your contact list, but will import contacts from those services and give you the option of adding them to your circles.
Once you have an account, the first time you visit Google+ you'll be asked several questions
including school or work name and where you live. These are designed to make it easier for
friends, family and others to find you, but they are optional. Researchers have found that
entering school or city name or posting a photo. Of course, there may be reputation issues. The photo should be suitable for sharing with the public and, if for any reason, you don't want to share your photo, school name or city, you have that option.
Your profile
Your profile is where you see and can edit information about yourself as well as
anything you've posted. You can get to your profile by clicking on your picture
(or the default icon if you haven't posted a picture).
At this
point, you have the option to add to or edit your profile by clicking
the blue
Edit Profile link.
To add to or change your profile, you click on the section you with to edit. For
example you can type in a brief description about yourself or click on the About
link, where you can add or change information about your occupation, education,
where you've lived and even "how people reach you at home" (your phone number).
There are also places where you can say if you're in a relationship, "who you are looking for" and more.
For each of these questions, you have the option to leave it blank or not, and
you get to decide who gets to see that information. It can be only you, "Your
Circles",
your extended circles (which includes circles of people in your circles) or anyone on
the web. You can also choose
Custom which allows you to specify only certain people.

Your Circles
Google has introduced the concept of "circles," as in social circles, to connect
with people and make it easier for you to control who see what you post and help
you home in on posts from people you want to hear from.
Think about the people in your life. Adults have work colleagues and people they
went to school with.
Kids have classmates or teammates.
Everyone has family, and
just about everyone has a group of close friends and acquaintances that are not-so-close.
These people are part of our lives, but we don't necessarily share the same things with all
of them. Circles makes is easy to share different content with different people.
You can have as many circles as you want and they can overlap. A student could, for example,
have a circle of everyone she knows at school but also a circle of everyone working on a
project for
English class, one for everyone on the basketball team and a separate circle
for family. You could even have a circle for people you've never met but who share a passion,
such as a particular cause or political candidate, and not have to worry about sharing personal
information with folks you don't know offline.
