Interaction. Interaction. Interaction.

In real life, people commonly ask me, “how in the world did you get so many followers on Google?” Of course, being an early adopter helped, but the most important thing I did when I arrived here was interacting with other users. I can’t say it enough, interacting with people’s content shows them two things: 1) You’re paying attention. 2) You invested time in starting a conversation.

There are so many people on Google+ that have some incredible content to share. Now, of course, this content might not all be relative to you. Someone into +Lady Gaga and fashion design isn’t going to take too much interest into +Robert Scoble's posts, but at the same time a budding tech blogger wouldn’t make much of an effort to follow a well-known cake decorator.

The point is, all of your circles should be relative to you. You should circle people that interest you.

So how you do you find people that interest you? Well, sometimes you have to take a gamble. You have to see what they have to say, determine if it is relevant and then decide whether or not you want to continue interacting with them. It’s the same principal as making friends at school, work or sports bar.

In order to help some users interested in interacting with more people I created a call to action last night asking users to comment and share if they were interested in being exposed to more users. The response was overwhelming and a great demonstration of how community members can come together.

Lately I have ranted a bit about the Suggested Users List and the What’s Hot List, but the real truth in the matter is that they...don’t matter. This network is only to you what you take out of it. So, here’s an opportunity for a couple of hundred people to show you what they are all about.

Special thanks to +Natalie Villalobos and +Robert Scoble for helping me in the back channel with “re-aligning” my focus. It took a while, but I think I’m back on track to doing what I do best.

There are a few great people in here including Googler +Sara Eleta Reid, funny hangout man +matthew rappaport, culinary extraordinaire +Lee Allison, Google+ enthusiast and business expert +Denis Labelle, and Nashville local +Andy Torres
