\"\"<\/a>I just saw this Via Dana Oshiro on NewShelter<\/a>. I have not really taken to Google+ for the same reason I did not take to facebook.\u00a0 Too much scrolling.\u00a0 What i like about Twitter, and still find myself going there first, is everyone is limited to 140 char and replies are not shown by default.\u00a0 There is a way to do that, which will be supported after a major overhaul of TwittFilter. So I have not really looked into these that closely, but hey, you might want to know how to use Google+ better, if you have not already seen 50 posts on it already. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

1. PRESENTABLE URLS
\n<\/strong>Your current Google+ URL is probably quite ugly and tough to remember when you just look at it in the browser bar. Although this site lets you create a Google Plus vanity URL<\/a> because it\u2019s a redirect there\u2019s a chance that it could be hacked to redirect your links to spam sites. Instead, it\u2019s probably best to just list http:\/\/profiles.google.com\/username. Mine is profiles.google.com\/dana.oshiro.<\/a> Note: I did make a short URL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. GOOGLE + SHORTCUTS
\n<\/strong>While these are a bit buggy, for the most part these shortcuts seem to work in navigating Google Plus.<\/p>\n
