Google+: 50 Helpful Posts to Get You Started

So a couple of days into it and I’m already digging Google+.  It’s new enough that the streams aren’t clogged with links and nothing else, plus since it’s in the beta/early adapter stage, there isn’t too much noise on the stream yet. Still, it’s fun watching my friends get added little by little and I’m looking forward to sharing more with you there as well.

There’s a lot of helpful sharing going on right now, as everyone discovers new bells and whistles, and I’m coming across some extremely helpful blog posts. If you want to learn more about Google+, you’re sure to find one or more of these interesting, shareworthy or useful:
