The U.S.'s biggest tornado ...
I was just alerted by +Katherine Bond and +Johnny Johnsen that a F5 tornado has torn through the area near Oklahoma City. These things are terrible, but from a distance they are also fascinating. I searched #YouTube and found a video of this monster. It's not today's tornado, but still devastating enough.
+Katherine Bond told me, that the tornado season is starting now where she lives. My best wishes go out to all those of my followers who live through this every year and to those who've lost homes or friends and family to those monsters. Be safe!

My computer has its head in the cloud ...
Or at least some of the data, that is in it. New cloud service #Copy is giving away free storage space. Truck loads of it!
After my complete technological melt down at the beginning of this year I've been moving loads of my data to the #cloud as a back up. I'm using different services because I'm trying to make most of the free storage space they all offer. Now a new player has entered the ring and he's giving away huge amounts of storage.
The original amount of free storage you get at Copy is 15 Gb which puts them in the same league as #Google . But they seem to be trying to gain momentum quick, so they are doing this limited time offer for huge amounts of extra free storage. You can earn 5 GB of extra free storage for yourself and whoever you refer each time you introduce someone new to Copy! That makes a wh... more »

Bring it on! ...
A new #GooglePlus app version for #Android has been released and it brings many of the features announced for desktop at I/O last week.
All that automatic stuff that G+ now does to our #photograph s, like auto-enhance and such, now comes to the Android app too. It also includes some #Snapseed features, which I welcome very much since my phone is Snapseed incompatible.
There is more, though. Latitude, related hashtags, integration of the new #Hangouts app, etc. etc. Find out in the article.

Similar to our Infographics album we thought it might be handy to organize our Tech Bites in an album, too.
This is probably the coolest F1 album on Google+, don't you think? Don't miss the HD videos - check out the pics' captions and follow the links posted there.
You might want to share this post if you agree that it is supercool or plus this post if you simply enjoy staring at the animations and circle us in if you haven't done so already!
Enjoy, +Sauber F1 Team

Anatomy of a Google Plus Post - updated for Google+ 3.0
Google PlusTips & Google Plus Basics
Important Interactive Elements of a Google Plus Post
With the update of the Google Plus design on May 15, 2013 we have quite a few changes. To help you understand some of them, I offer a visual guide to the clickable parts of a New Google Plus Post.
All the referenced or highlighted areas are clickable, including the Poster's name and profile picture. The Options Menu (expanded on the right) will show different options if you are a viewer or the author of the post.
This post was found inside a Google Plus Community (GPC) and was captured that way to show some of the additional areas possible on a post. It was originally created out on my Profile's stream, and then reshared into a GPC called "Hangouts on Air".

Day two at the studio ...
Cassandra and Anastasia are recording more songs and a video
We went back to the studio today to work on some of the songs we recorded the other day, record another two covers and make a video. Five and a half hours of work! It worked out beautifully though. We are now finished with the first set of songs (five of them all in all) and will hopefully get the masters and the video next week, so I can finally show you guys something. So many have been asking and I thank you very much for your interest. I think you'll not be disappointed.

How I post at G+ ...
When you've spend some time on #GooglePlus like me you tend to forget that there are new G+ users (goobies) starting on this network every day. The platform can be an intimidating place when you start out and the amount of fantastic features can be overwhelming, so let's start with the basics, shall we?
Today I had the 100.000th person adding me to his/her circles. To celebrate that, here a few tips on how I make a post.

The new Google+ ... Is it any good? ...
I wanted to stay out of this hype about the new #GooglePlus . There are so many around here who know so much more about this platform and are so much better in putting it into words, like +Mike Elgan or +martin shervington and +Ronnie Bincer, that I didn't see the need to add to the thousands of posts, but I've been asked by a few misguided souls, so here are my 2 ¢ worth.
+Vic Gundotra split the improvements at G+ into three "major areas" in his keynote at the _Google I/O 2013 (http://bit.ly/105yMt0). I'll do the same and give you a quick digest.
➢ Stream ... (http://bit.ly/YY7whx)

Install Android apps on your PC or Mac ...
I have a few apps on my phone that I always liked to have on my PC. Like #SeriesGuide (http://bit.ly/102tWgd), which I use to keep track of what episodes I've already watched and when the next ones are going to be aired. That app would make much more sense on my PC, since that is where I watch my TV shows. I now found a way.
#BlueStack is an app, that brings the #Android app experience to #Windows and #Mac machines. It's currently in beta and free of charge. The app player comes with a selection of pre-installed apps and the opportunity to download even more. You can get them from #GooglePlay , but also from other alternatives like the #AmazonAppStore . What I like is that the installed apps open in a window, with the option to go full screen

Do they finally get it? ...
I know the tyre issue is a hotly discussed subject in the #Formula1 and I'm also aware that many don't agree with my opinion about it, but I have to say; this is about bl***dy time, and all!
I guess the idea behind reducing the life span of the #F1 tyres was, to make the races more interesting. More pit stops, more ways to win races via strategies. In my (humble) opinion it backfired, though. #Pirelli overdid it. Drivers don't drive to their limits any more, since they are more worried about getting their tyres through the race distance than about racing. This will hopefully change again now.
What's your take? Are you one of those who say, crap tyres are just another challenge #FormulaOne teams have to overcome, or do you believe that tyres that only last 20 laps make for artificial racing, just like DRS (Oops, ... more »

Google puts storage together ...
Up to now we had 10Gb of storage for our #Gmail and 5Gb for our #GooglePlusPhotos and #Drive . This has now been put together, so we have 15Gb for all of those. I think that's a brilliant idea. I'll never use 10Gb for my emails, but I was wondering when I'll run out of memory for my #GooglePlus images.
What do you think? Do you like the further melting together of all major #Google products? Let me know in a comment and share!

Formula 1 Race Hangout - Barcelona/Spain ...
Happy Friday everybody! It's weekend again and guess what. It's race weekend! First some info about the first training:
First practice standings
1) Alonso 2) Massa 3) Vergne 40 Grosjean 5) Sutil 6) Hamilton 7) Bottas 8) Raikkonen 9) Rosberg 10) Di Resta 11) Ricciardo 12) Hulkenberg 13) Perez 14) Gutierrez 15) Maldonado 16) Kovalainen 17) Van der Garde 18) Bianchi 19) Vettel 20) Webber 21) Gonzalez 22) Button (No time set)
Second practice should start around now, but first to our #Formula1RaceHangout . Here is how it works:
➢ We all watch the race on our own individual TV sets. There is not going to be a race broadcast in the hangout for several reasons.
▸ A broadcast would take over the hangouts audio and would make it impossible for us to talk.

★ How I use the Interaction Ladder for my circle system ... ★
Holy cow! More than 80.000 followers! More than 4.000 of you added me to your circles just today! I can't even begin to tell you how honoured I feel.
I guess it's time to tell all those of you who don't know me yet, how I roll on G+. There is only one thing that is more important to me than interacting with you and that is if you interact with me. To reward those who do I adopted +Bud Hoffman's Interaction Ladder to my needs.
As always I want to remind you, this system works for me, it doesn't necessarily mean that it would work for you too. We all have very different expectations of what we expect from our #GooglePlus and our expectations are as different from each other as fingerprints. No two ways of using G+ are alike.

Dead Giveaway ...
You all have heard and read the story of #CharlesRamsey who helped to free those three women from nearly a decade in captivity. Ramsey lived next door to where one Ariel Castro is alleged to have kept the women in a makeshift prison until Monday afternoon. He became quite a celebrity by giving a series of interviews to Cleveland television stations as the story broke Monday night that were replayed on national news. CNN's Anderson Cooper tracked him down for a lengthy conversation the next night. The interviews are performance art masterpieces, so filled with colorful language and astute reporting that he trended on Twitter and was the subject of Internet memes and an Auto-tuned song.
I tried to stay out of the hype, as I usually do when something goes viral, but I have to admit that the man deserves recognition (if there were more like him, the world wo... more »

This is not exactly new (actually it's more than a year old), but I just found it now. About 30 Dolphins stranded at Arraial do Cabo (Brazil) in the morning at 8:00 AM on March 5th 2012.

▸ A broadcast would take over the hangouts audio and would make it impossible for us to talk.

You might still be at a stage here at #GooglePlus where notifications don't bother you much. That will change though, I promise you.

Get Your Guts In Gear
An #IBD Event I Need Your Help With
As most of you know, my oldest son Domenic, who is 8 years old, has Crohn's Disease. Just over a year ago I decided to become an advocate for #IBD , #Crohns , and #Colitis . Instead of basing my advocacy around raising money for research I felt strongly that we needed to raise the level of education around the disease. My advocacy has been growing stronger and stronger each day and I feel we are raising the level of education and working towards the ultimate goal of making IBD, Crohn's, and Colitis a household name.
Unfortunately, education alone isn't going to bring a cure for this disease. Research must be done in order to find new medical procedures and medications that will help Domenic plus the 4 million people worldwide that have this disease.

The first official Formula 1 team community ...
As most of you are aware the +Sauber F1 Team has become a bit of a favourite #Formula1 team of mine. The reason for that is, that they don't only understand the #F1 , but are arguably the most social media orientated team around. Their interaction with their fan base (executed by a guy only known as #TheTeam , a bit like #TheStig at #TopGear ) is second to none and they've proven that they are as innovative in social media as they are on the track. And now they've done it again. They are the first to create an official fan community!
No matter if you are a #Sauber fan or root for any other #FormulaOne team, come and join us at the Official Sauber F1 Team Community! I'm honoured to have been asked by Sauber to assist in creating and moderating this community and I'd love to see you all there.

Voice-controlled home automation with Android ...
I've always wanted to fully automate my home via voice control, but was unable to do so, due to the high costs involved. Even with systems like #HomeAutomatedLiving (in short #HAL ) or #HomeSeer it would involve several thousand Euros to get everything done and still wouldn't be able to do everything I want. I've always thought #Android practically offers itself for home automation though (I believe +Mike Elgan wrote a post about it once) and now somebody came up with just that. Only one word: WANT!

In my last "How I ..." post (http://bit.ly/ZNdxLO) I mentioned that the best way to get noticed on G+ is to engage, interact. But what is "engaging" and how is it done best?
I've seen questions all over #GooglePlus when it would be appropriate to use either +1, comments or shares. Do they have different values and are there rules for when to use which? Of course there are. Yours! Just like with everything else here at G+ you have to find your own way, your own rules. Let me tell you about mine and who knows?

Today was an exiting day for my family and me. My daughter +cassandra graikowski had her first day in a music studio. She did a few covers of Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Adele songs and we had great fun. You'll be hearing more from the new star on the music sky in the near future.

If you want to know why the #WestminsterBridge is also known under it's unusual nickname, #PeckerBridge have a look at the shadows. :D

Scroll to top ...
Are you daft like me? Are you so used by now to clicking on the bar at the top of every #GooglePlus page to scroll all the way up to the top, that you do it on other websites too and are surprised for a second that nothing happens? Do you believe this feature should be build into every website? Have I got news for you!
Obviously this is not really a #GPlusQuickTip , since it is designed to bring a G+ feature to any other website, but since it originated here, I'll be generous. Add the #extension Scroll to top (http://bit.ly/QJTtYT) to your #Chrome bowser and enjoy this nifty feature wherever you go on the web.
Please share! (Even if you did know about this already. There are those amongst your followers who don't.)

When "i" is replaced by "we", even "illness" becomes "wellness"! ...
#MySpecialPlussers series - +Frank Garufi Jr.
I took the expression above from the stream of one of my best G+friends, or better said from his page +The Crohns Colitis Effect, which I'm linking to below. Unlike in my other MySpecialPlussers series posts, I didn't plug a post out of the introduced person's stream, but I'll share his page here, since I know that that is, what he'd like.
Frank has a son (the one you see in the picture) called Domenic and Domenic is a prime example of all those brave children in the world who suffer from a chronic disease, in his case #CrohnsDisease . That's a nasty beast of an illness, if I ever saw one. It is so devastating for children, because it not only makes you feel extremely unwell, but it can also b... more »

Get noticed on Google+ quick ...
This should give you a bit of a head start, if you are a "Goobie" (G+ newbie).
Many old hands here won't agree with this post. They will tell you, if you want to be successful here at #GooglePlus you have to grow your follower ship organically (slowly). Write good content and people will notice you. And the old hands are right. They will notice you. Maybe in a years time or so and by then you'll have fallen into the #GhostTown hole and given up. If I've created the illusion that I have the secret to instant G+ fame, I apologise, because I don't. Just like with all my How I ... posts ( #jghowi ) I can only tell you what I did, to get some interaction out of the platform straight away. Everything else builds up on that.

"Words Will Never Hurt Me" - Yea Right
You know the nursery rhyme, "Stick and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? Could there be a bigger lie than this? I can't believe that this is what so many of us were taught.
We ought to learn, "Words cut like a knife." Or maybe, "Words can cut, but they also can heal."
We all need to be conscious all the time of how easily our words can become like jagged glass, a knife, or even a club to someone else's spirit. And hopefully use that awareness to choose our words more carefully and wisely.
"Words will never hurt me" - false. "Words can cut, but they also can heal." - #truth

Choose the thumbnail you like for your link ...
When you share a link, #GooglePlus will display the first image it finds on the page as a thumbnail. That is not necessarily the best one though. Don't worry. If there are other images on that page, G+ will grab them all and you can choose which one you want displayed, if any.
Hover with your mouse pointer over the thumbnail. A little bar appears at the top of the image where you can use the arrows on the left to choose the pic you like best or the cross on the right to not show any thumbnail at all.
Please share! (Even if you did know about this already. There are those amongst your followers who don't.)

30.000! ...
Whoah! Last night I went to sleep with less than 30.000 followers and woke up this morning to 31.000. I turn around and we are talking 32.200. This is just amazing!
I noticed that the majority of people who recently started following me are pretty new to G+. The #GooglePlus community is incredibly helpful, so please know that there is always somebody here to lend you a hand with advise or tips. You can always contact me, if you have questions. There will probably come a time when you'll doubt G+ is for you. I went through it myself and I thought, telling my story might help you through a difficult stretch at the network.
In July 2012 I put my experience with the Google+ Ghost Town Effect on paper. Please do me a favour and share this along! Many do or will feel lost here and I don't want any of them to feel left on their own devices. This is the... more »
