Indians Active on G+
Earlier this week, I made a post about trying to make my own "Indians Active on G+" circle. Thank you to everyone that contributed, re-shared, tagged and discussed this initiative. I've looked through every profile that was tagged and had the pleasure of discovering some very interesting people. Here is the circle I created. People in this circle come from all walks of life, live in all parts of the world and have diverse interests (sounds just like India :) 
.... and have a common thread binding them.. India. 

I've humbly included myself in it, but please feel free to remove me or anyone else if you'd like to re-share it. I've not added some folks with very large following that were tagged in the initial post. Will build this circle out a little more as I discover more people.

'Plussers Who Give A Boost' Circle Share (Part 1 of 2)

Who's given you a 'boost' on Google Plus? Are they in this circle?

Here's latest round of the 'Plussers Who Give A Boost' Circle. This is an awesome circle of great plussers who help others on G+. The cool thing about this circle is that you had to be recommended by someone else to get in.

Please Add & Reshare so others can discover these awesome Google Plus 'boosters.' If you'd like to join in, please suggest 3-5 people who've given you a 'boost.'

The circle is split into 2 parts to make it easier for everyone to add; Part 1 is first names A-K and Part 2 is first names L-Z. If you don't find everyone you're looking for in this share, here's a link to Part 2: http://goo.gl/CUnYf

Here's The 'Best of Google Plus 2012' Circle Share (Circle 3 of 3)

Last week I asked other plussers to name 5 Plussers they think should be named the 'Best of Google Plus 2012'. They nominated others based on what they think makes a really good Google Plusser - original & quality content; makes you think, laugh, & enjoy Google Plus more; engages with others; shares and helps others; etc. We got 1,308 nominations for 730 Plussers.

This is the third of 3 Circle Shares of those named the 'Best of Google Plus' - this circle contains those who got 2-3 votes. These are plussers other plussers think are among the Best on Google Plus and I believe we should all circle and consider following them because other quality plussers we can trust recommend following them.

Vince's 2012 Top 200 Kindliness Photographers.

It's all back to why we circled a particular people in the first place? Yes it's all because of that artistic and impressive work. Well on top of that, a photographer needs to interact and talk.

Why these people are in the circle?
They are here because they interact and communicate. At least at their own post, they reciprocate and say Thank You to those that had left a comment.

Because of their kindliness, I had certified them and you are safe to circle all the 200 great people here. You can start to comment on their work!

Happy New Year!

Do you need to jump through hoops? Of course not - We surveyed over 20 Photographer's circles - some had ridiculous rules like "Fill in form and paste this kind of picture, send biodata etc." We don't ask for any of that - self-introduction and promotion is more than enough, in fact, just ask for inclusion.

In keeping with the political nature of the moment. I have decided to wield my Google Plus Endorsement wand and ask you to join me in circling these ten amazing people that make our community better. If at anytime you are at all not satisfied with the future posts by any of the Plussers I Endorse, feel free to Uncircle. 

+Danial Hallock really knows how to bring the GPlus community together. Oh, he is also a fellow Vet/Serviceman
+Jo Sparkles let's you know her opinion but does it in a way that does not offend. 
+Rahul Roy was the Plusser I went to since the beginning to learn to make my GPlus experience better. Thank you Rahul.

The Three Hundred
Rough Draft

A few weeks ago I posted a rather lengthy post about how I was changing my #circlemanagement  strategy from purpose based to engagement based (http://goo.gl/kqE8h).  This is the first rough draft of that circle, minus a few ninjas that prefer not to be shared out.  As such, the landscape of this circle will change drastically over the next few months; but I wanted to give the people who are following this circle a glimpse of what to expect.  

As always, If you're notified you're in it. If you're in it, why not recommend a few people for me to circle up, or share the circle out with your stream? :D

I don't often share circles, because I don't usually see the need.

But this is the one circle I check most often, on a daily basis, and I end up resharing from it most often. So here it is, my secret weapon circle: 

Folks who post a lot of science like +Philip Plait  are in here, as well as +Rajini Rao  and +Betsy McCall  The insightful commentary and daily curated threads of  +Alex Grossman are important in my stream too, as is the humor of +Steve Barry.  +Natalie Villalobos is in there for her beautiful yoga pictures, which always relax me.  +James Williams for digging up the best articles and also funny pics.  +Chase Sterling  for her blog, +Melissa Carlson  as an excellent news anchor using Plus. +P E Sharpe  for her off the wall style humor, (and stunning art.)  When I look at this list I'm amazed by thequality of peop... more »

Tremendous Ten

Instead of sharing my Engagers, Science and SciFi circles, I am going to pick up 10 people and share as to why I follow them. This circle is not exclusive, people are not top of my circles; at times. So who are these? They have special streams and reasons why I follow them and I will list them down. Add them if you feel their streams meet your interests, it will make your stream richer!

1. +Charles Strebor - Awesome photographer who has reminded me why I wanted to be one when I was younger.
2. +Feisal Kamil  - Posts very similar to mine, science and related, has a terrific sense of humor.
3. +Charlie Hoover  - His posts are thoughtful and amusing at times, but gets you thinking. The QOTD series has been wonderful.

Great engagers!
This is my original great engagers circle, but I know that if I don't publish it when I shared the second one people feel left out!
Everyone in this circle I have engaged with over the past 6 months.
My Google mentors are in there as well. Very worthwhile adding these people in if you haven't already.

+Boulder Locavore  - Toni from the Boulder Locavore blog always makes me hungry. The food always looks fresh, colorful and inviting. If you are into local sourcing of food and what to make with it, this is for you!

+Kita Roberts  from +Pass the Sushi  has a special place in my heart, because it is full flavored, no apology kind of food. If you feel like going all out, find a recipe and dig in!

+Jerry Stone  has some great tips and tricks from his Cooking Stoned Youtube Channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/CookingStoned. As well as being the guy to go to for awesome popsicle treats!

Ever wonder who are the people behind the stories that are "Hot on Google+"?

Well, I've been carefully curating a list of "Hot" Plussers - people whose posts made it to the "What's Hot" list. I update it every week and am careful to ensure that the list is fairly balanced and consists of some really interesting people.

I've left out celebrities, mostly because I don't care about them.

I'd encourage you to Add This Circle to your circles and engage with all of these folks. In the spirit of #followfriday

Special props go out this week to +Rahul Roy for my favourite story of the week.

PS: Don't forget to share this circle once you've added it

Technical problem, friendly talk, letting off steam, learning a lesson or getting advice.

These are MY recent valuable people.
They have all taught me something in the near past, something I value.

They have been personally engaging, I mean interacting on posts and generally helping me.  
Besides they post interesting stuff.

Worth circling, I'd say.

See all the people in the circle here: http://bit.ly/OQ8KBo

Thank you so much, my friends!
I will be portraying a post from each of these wonderful folks OR displaying their talent in some other way in the coming days.
I'll be using the hashtag #JaanaRecommends  ... :D

How to have a better stream - Part One

Someone recently mentioned to me about how they couldn't seem to find good photography in their stream.

Well.. here is my way to help that.

These are active photographers who have a variety of styles and cover everything from point-and-shooters to some of the top pro's on G+.  I've been through each one's stream and they all can offer you something to make your stream better. Say howdy to them and see if your stream is not a more visual place.

Like the circle.. feel free to share it and help share some great photographers.

I'll share the 2nd 1/2 of this circle in the next few days.

The Interactors (v4)
they do not merely lurk

An expanded update of a favorite circle of mine: the most interesting people who tend to interact the most frequently with me (and each other) on my posts. I like to have real interaction with you all, so I appreciate that--and here's my way of showing it. I'll continue to reshare this as it grows over time. I hope you will too; everyone in this circle has something interesting to say.

Science and SF Sharers

This is a circle who I put together who actively supported me by sharing my circles in the recent past! Making the SciFi community a place where people support each other and engage has been a dream of mine :)

As a special Hat-tip to the people in this circle, I am sharing it for all to add and reshare! As of now, I am keeping this circle small. Thanks to each and every one in this circle!

Awesome Sunday Special!

The #BestShot  BUNCH - Version 1

Here are the folks who have followed us at +Give me your best shot #BestShot in the last 24 HOURS. WHEW.

First THANKS to everyone who has already followed us and submitted their shot

*Second: *FOLLOW these great folks who are out there also looking for their #BestShot * 

Finally.. Please "SHARE" with your circles...

WHY? Because that is how more people are going to find us.

We'll never require you to share to participate like others do.. but we sure could use the help in getting the news out there and helping to build OUR events =)

These are my top quality +Google+ sharers.  I hope you find them as rewarding as I do.

Thanks +Moritz Tolxdorff, I'm using the idea and pinching your intro with modifications because it's so good! :D

My Top 99 + 1 circle
I want to jump on the train and share my Top99 (+me) circle. These are the 99 users who are on top of my relevance list.

I have removed family members / people not wishing to be in shared circles and added instead the profiles next in line.
Many of these folks are engaging with me on nearly daily basis by chat, hangouts, mail or posts / comments.

Want to create your own?
► Click circles on the tab on the right
► Make sure relevance is selected (default)
► Select the top 99 users. (Drag a box around them)
► Drag the whole group to "drop here to create new circle"
► The new circle will open up. Make sure its 99 and adjust it if needed
► Share it and use the hashtag#top99  and... more »

I've never shared a circle circle publicly... but if your fairly new to G+ or even just over looking...

These people are a part of who I've become.  They are all #awesomesauce  in so many different ways, I hope you enjoy the share Google.

MSD 2.0 FINAL
Must-See-Daily Circle - now @ 170
"This should be everyone's go to circle!" - me

Happy Friday all!  I follow a lot of people and the main stream can get a bit too active to really work with at peak times. I've slowly been adding people to this circle, and have enjoyed browsing only this circle from time to time. I end up reading 90% of the posts by the users in this circle. My mouse's scroll wheel appreciates the break (the circle was previously called the "less scrolling" circle).

Quick summary of users included:
*Google Plus tips and viewpoints:* +Rahul Roy +Shamil Weerakoon +Johan Horak +Denis Labelle
*Photography:* +Thomas Hawk +RC Concepcion +Victor Bezrukov +Charles Lupica +Jarek Klimek +Scott Kelby +Alex Koloskov +Margaret Tompkins +Lotus Carroll +Toby Harriman +Gemma Costa +BrianMatiash +Sly Veg... more »

Interesting People W/ Under 2K Followers
Underappreciated Engagers

Those of us active on Google+ know that one of the best things about it is the community of people. I don't have a huge following, but I still want to give back to the Google+ community that has been so good to me. When I was starting out on Google+, there were a few people (+Gideon Rosenblatt, +Bearman Cartoons, +Rehan Ahmad) that shared Circles containing me that really helped me to get started here. So, to give back to the G+ community, I've created my own Circle of great users under 2,000 followers, or as +Bearman Cartoons would put it, "Underappreciated Engagers."

This Circle is very diverse. It has people from different areas of the world and different walks of life including those that are cartoonist and those that are marketers. If you want to increase the amount of original... more »
