Google plus is one of our favorite social network.It has lots of features many of them are familiar to us and some not.So am giving you some of google plus tricks you don't know.
1. Control who sees your posts
While this isn't an advanced feature, it's arguably one of the best things about Google+: You can easily have a private conversation with one or more people, share posts publicly or to certain groups, and even share them with people who aren't on Google+ (no need for them to sign up just to see your update, unlike Facebook). It's also a feature that seems to be the most confusing to newbies. The short of it is:
- To share a post privately, delete everything in the To: box and add the name of one or more people. You can also enter an email address.
- To share a post with your circles (groups of your connections on Google+) or everyone, enter the name(s) of the circles or Public.
- To mention a person in your post, regardless of your sharing settings—and also send them a notification to get the person's attention—write their name with a + or @ sign in front of it in the "Share what's new" box.
ProTip #1: Click the right dropdown box at the top of your post after you've sent it and select "Disable reshares" for an extra (albeit, not foolproof) measure of privacy on any post.
ProTip #2: You can create a circle with just one person (e.g., your significant other) for easy sharing of stuff without cluttering each other's inboxes.
2. Format your posts
Another nice thing about Google+ is you can write as little or as much as you like in your post. For long rants, especially, Google+'s unique formatting capabilities make your post more readable:
- Bold a word or phrase with astericks: *bold*
- Italicize with underscores: _italics_
Strikethroughsomething with hypens: -correction-
3. Use keyboard shortcuts
As with other Google products, Google+ is friendly to keyboard ninjas. Type a question mark (?) to see a list of all available keyboard shortcuts, which Google updated not too long ago.
4. See who's shared your posts
Data/analytics nerds might loves this: Google+ Ripples shows you how many public shares any particular post has gotten, how it's been reshared over time, and other statistics about your posts. To see the visualization and details, click on the drop-down box on the top right of any post and select "View Ripples."
5. Save posts to empty circles for future reference
Circles don't have to have anyone in them. Create one or more empty circles that you can share posts to for easy bookmarking. For example, you can create ones like "ProTips" or "Photos" for your favorite finds, "Drafts" for those Google+ posts that start to turn into more blog-length updates, or "Note" for simply sending yourself stuff.
Similarly, you can create an Evernote or Pocket circle with just the email address those services give you to send stuff for saving—so you can easily save Google+ posts to those services.
6. Share your circles with others
Part of networking and joining in a community is connecting people together. You can do that by sharing specific circles with others. Go to People in the left menu, Your Circles, and then click on the circle you want to share. Under the Actions menu, click "Share this circle." As Kari Coad notes, it's probably best to give a heads up to people in that circle you're sharing.
7. Create a photo slideshow for your profile
Did you know that on your profile page, your avatar photo links to an entire photo album—not just your profile photo. With this album, you could showcase your creative work, a series of images, whatever you want everyone to see. Click on the left menu and select Profile. Then under the Photos menu, scroll down to Profile Photos, and in the dropdown menu, select "Add photos."
8. Use a GIF as your profile pic or cover photo
Better yet, you can even use an animated GIF as your profile photo and/or your cover photo. (Google+ is the only social network to let you use animated GIFs in your updates as well as your profile.)
9. Use Hangouts apps to enhance your hangouts
Hangouts already comes with several cool tools built-in, including voice calls from the desktop, remote desktops, screen sharing and Google Drive support, and SMS support and location sharing, to name a few. Several third-party tools add even more capabilities, such as learning Spanish phrases in real-time with people in your circles, playing multiplayer games, and using whiteboards together.
Last but not least, how about some fun/stupid tricks? When using Hangouts to chat with others, try typing in "/pitchforks" or "/shydino". The first will make an angry mob run across the chat window, while the latter will bring up a shy dinosaur. You can add "/ponies"
