#statistics #posts #GooglePlusStatistics #WeeklyPhotoProject2013  

+Jalaj Jha used to make ranking lists of the most used +Daily Photography Themes , but then something changed with G+ that made the operation too cumbersome.

Wonder if similar system could be used to get nice statistics of the themes of the +Weekly Photo Project 2013 ?

Now I just manually circled the participants into weekly theme circles, when I wanted to get an idea about how many had participated each theme.

Quality photographers sharing big circle 1080 pixels and above circle collected by me.  G+ allows us free storage of photos up to  2048 pixels. A lot of people have big monitors this days. When I am in mood to look at photos that fills my monitor I turn to this circle.

Do you feel I have forgotten you? Am I regulary plussing your photos and you share big? I am bound to make some mistakes, please send me a private message or note it in the comments.

This circle share is dedicated to photographer who share big and are active every week. They are also sharing mainly photos or photo related stuff. You do not have to share every photo big, but I have to see that its the trend in your sharing.  To get on the list you also have to pass my basic taste in photos. I will keep adding to the circle on my own. You can ask to be included and nominate others that you think fit.... more »

Impact is not an option. The only questions is what are the ripples your subtle choices are making?

Own your impact and design a model that makes you proud today and tomorrow.

          Top 1000 most followed active
        photographers sharing content on G+
                  Circle One: J to Z

This  is the second of two circles,  The first was shaerd on 16 May here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103236949470535942612/posts/FPsHj9E2QEo.  The circles have been divided alphabetically to help give more exposure to people with fewer followers and shared at different times to help keep down the stream saturation. 

Please plus, comment and share.  This circle has no requirements for future participation but your support and encouragement is appreciated. 

It has been two weeks since I announced my intent to update my circle of the 500 most followed photographers on G+.  I decided to do things a bit differently this time and so I'll share the top 1000.   To buildthe circles and the list I enlisted the aid of  +Bill Wood

Write a Google+ Bio People Can't Resist with This Formula

This isn't the least bit scientific, but the more people write in their Google+ profile bio, the more likely I'm going to follow them. A long profile bio tells a lot about a person.

 You tend to learn something interesting ... and if they are interesting in their bio, then they will hopefully fill your stream with interesting posts.

A short bio, however, is not so compelling. It's the difference between a quick brush with a stranger on the street versus an hour chat over shiraz ...

I'll follow someone after nursing a shiraz for an hour. Not so much after bumping into them on Main.

See, unless you are a web stud like Sergy (do I need to mention his last name?) or Kevin Rose, you need a compelling story if you want people to follow you.

It's not enough tow... more »

How to Use Related Hashtags to Build a Google Plus Following

Most of us can agree that the engagement levels on Google Plus are quite impressive. The conversation is something I have been unable to find anywhere else on the Internet. Well, that conversation just got better with the introduction of Related Hashtags.

Someone I did not put it together that +Chris Messina was the man behind Hashtags at Twitter. I knew the man behind the hashtag was working with Google+ but for some reason I didn't put it together that it was Chris. I digress...

If you are looking to find more people or pages of similar interest this tool is amazing. Take the time to play around with it and you will see that Google Plus is full of interesting people you have never bumped into. Are you using Related Hashtags yet?

Building a following and high levels of engagement was a... more »

Is "What's Hot" stream in G+ different for men and women? What about single and married etc?

Interesting notions and discussions around the theme, see eg posts by

I'm currently testing G+ as a married male: the first impression is that now there is much more technology in the What's Hot stream.

*Welcome to #AutoEnhance  & #AutoAwesome *

Earlier today at Google I/O, +Vic Gundotra announced #AutoEnhance  and #AutoAwesome  - two new features to help make sharing your photos more fun and more creative. To help you become more familiar with these tools, here’s a brief Q&A along with some sample images to enjoy. 

Can you give me some more details on how Google+ will enhance my  photos?
Sure! Auto Enhance analyzes your photos as you upload them, then optimizes brightness, contrast, details, noise, focus, and many other factors in order to help them really shine. Just click on the Enhanced hover button on newly uploaded photos to see the results. You can also manually turn on Auto Enhance on older images by clicking on ‘More’ and select ‘Auto Enhance’.

Will the Auto Enhanced version overwrite my original photos?
No.We will never o... more »

OK! Many of you do not believe the Minecraft Palace we shared earlier was truly made in Minecraft.

IT WAS! :) It took 240,000 blocks with 135,000 sandstone blocks and 24,000 lazuli blocks and was created by the talented DJpaulii

There are few things more fascinating in computer science currently than neural networks - computer networks designed to emulate the way the human brain learns. 

(You may recall the story from last summer of Google's neural network learning to identify cats by watching YouTube!) http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/using-large-scale-brain-simulations-for.html

Wired takes a look at neural network and Deep Learning specialist +Andrew Ng and the current starte of the art.

+Tony Bates about online learning:

"The core 21st century skill is knowledge management, the ability to find, evaluate, analyse and apply information, although almost as important is independent learning. These are skills that can be taught, or perhaps more accurately, facilitated."

We are looking for a clever or better the best wordplay where you explain what Twitter is, what Facebook is and what Google+ is.
It's that simple.

#googleio #io #googleplus #CircleCount #followers #rapidrisers #SuggestedUserList #SUL #transparency

I hope that after Google I/O next week the mystery of sudden increase of followers is solved or at least a bit clarified. It's been puzzling to watch the follower count rise these last weeks (+CircleCount keeps nice statistics).

Following some discussions here in G+ and because the follower number increased so much so suddenly, it's become evident that the rise is not only due to what I do in G+ with eg +Weekly Photo Project 2013 , +Summer Photos and +Metropolia Career Services , but what Google does in G+. (Sorry, I don't remember the names right now and with iPad it's more difficult to go and search.)

About I/O, eg this looked interesting for a non-techie:

Buttons

A special service of CircleCount.com is the following button.

The button shows the number of followers you have directly in a small button. You can add this button to your website, like the +1-Button of Google or the Like-Button of Facebook.






You can add this button directly in your website. For more information about the CircleCount Buttons and the description how to add them to another page click here.
