Google+ Circles Tips
1 .Delete a circle to see a fun animation of the old circle rolling off screen. Create a circle just to delete it.
2. Delete a member of a circle by pointing to their image in the circle, clicking on them and dragging them out
3. Add multiple people to a circle by going to the Circles page, clicking on them in top section in sequence – they will highlight in blue – then dragging the last one to one of your circles. They will all get dragged along.
4. To add people who have added you to their circles, but you haven’t add them, go to the “People who’ve added you” tab and select “Not yet in circles” from the sort menu. All the people not in your circles will be listed first.
5. Right click on a circle and select “View circle in tab”. This is a terrific way to see who’s in a circle and allows you to do neat things like drag all the people inside it to another circle.

Google+ Messaging Tips
1. If you’re sharing a post with a small circle of people, you can prevent resharing. Click the arrow at the top-right of the post and choose “Disable reshare.”
2. You can’t share Limited posts publicly. (You can still share Limited posts with other individuals and circles.)
3. Clicking on Limited next to the timestamp to find out exactly with whom you would be sharing your comments.
4. Click on the timestamp on a post to find its permalink URL
5. You can add a single individual to the recipient list in the share box, as well as Circles.
6. If you want to send a private message to someone, just create a normal post and share it only with them in the “sharing targets” section. Bam! Instant one-on-one conversation! (G+’s version of Twitter DM)
7. If you want to make a post publicly visible but aim it specifically at someone, share it with them and also with Public (or also with your circles, etc)
8. If you type + or @, it shares the post directly with them, just like if you added their name in the sharing targets. You can also do this in a comment, to pull someone else into the conversation.
9. Want to see who can see a post? Next to the dateline at the top of a post, you’ll see something like “Public” or “Limited.” “Limited” is a link — click on it to see who has access.
10. At the top right of each post, there’s a little circle-and-triangle menu. For your own posts, this menu lets you edit or delete the post, or disable commenting or resharing. For other people’s posts, it lets you link to the post, mute it, block the person completely, or report abuse.
11. If you can’t figure out how to set your share to “Public” try deleting the blue “Your Circles” box below the post box and then click on “+add circles or people to share with…” to get the options in a drop down.
12. You can edit your posts. If you screw up and make a typo or post something you might regret later, you can edit your post by clicking on the down arrow in the upper right corner of the post box.
13. If you make a post “Public”, nobody ever gets mailed.
14. If you make a post aimed at your “Friends” circle, people in that circle who aren’t yet in Google+ get mailed.
15. After you add a circle in the ‘share’ dialog, hover over it and an option will appear to ‘notify about this post’. That helps you control whether people get mailed.
16. Drag and drop any media to the share box on desktop version.
