The important stuff you need to know

• Massage your profile. Control what the public, specific groups, or certain individuals can see about you.
• Move in the right circles. Assign folks to different groups and share the right stuff with the right people.
• Jump into streams. Get all the updates, pictures, and links from people you know.
• Host hangouts. Organize and attend group video chats.
• View and share photos. Make them available to whomever you like—whether or not they’re Google+ members.
• Get notifications. Monitor what others do (and share about you) on Google+.
• Go mobile. Use Google+ on your Android, iPhone, or mobile web browser.
