Hello, have you noticed if there is a confidential option (like for lists on twitter) please for those circles ? Or simply some lists 🙂 that is the most important for me to work an efficient way and find back contacts that I loose regulary on an FB account with lots of contacts FB because lists too complex there…or a tag like on linked ? Also is there a way to share our tweets when we want if we add a tag like with linkedin please ? ( if you know if a tag exists for FB by the way that would be great too…) automate is great but I do not like to share all everywere. I prefer flexibility. Do you find Google + flexible ?
I’m okay with the numbers. There’s no way I could focus my attention on 5,000 people anyway. I’m small potatoes – I can only hope for more than 5,000 people would be interested in what I’ve got to say.
Hello Chris, Nice video. I am getting near the 5k limit. Just wondering when I do hit the 5k limit, and I really need to follow a specific person, can i drop someone from one of my circles to make way for them?
Thanks for sharing this tip. If (when?) I get to be that big on G+ I’ll make sure I add back people I really care to listen in on. I also see it would be near impossible to interact with 5000 people on a regular basis, so there’s that.
This might not be the “popular” opinion but I have strong objections to the five thousand limit rule on both Google Plus and Facebook. Twitter painted each of these services in a corner, which ultimately lead to consternation not necessarily with individuals like myself and Mr. Voss (and the real geeks who were the first to really fully embrace Google Plus) but with the individuals that follow us and join the band wagon.
Regardless what we personally feel about the “popularity contest” mentality a lot of people have it has become part of our new digital culture. I would love to be able to break the glass ceiling of the 5000 circling rule, the way I see it its rather easy to follow a large number of people if you know how to effectively do it. Sure placing 5000+ in a circle is impossible to follow but if Google Plus were to adopt Twitter’s list functionality it would make following a large number of people far more manageable.
Right now, Google Plus makes it easy to blast messages to a selected group and that is a good start, but now Google Plus developers need to focus on how to make easy for its users to read a single circles incoming messages. Twitter has done this fairly well, but it too has some limitations especially if you are one that list people that list you and you find that listing incredible long. We have to understand that the concept of the present day “social network” is still in its infancy and I think as new players come to marketplace (so to speak) developers are going to find new, creative and unique ways to distinguish itself from other competitors.
Right now its a tit for tat battle, instead of evolving and coming up with better concepts it seems the two behemoths are just trying to match one another. Neither one is really trying to out do the other and the only ones that suffer are its users. Instead of trying to change the social norm, they need to embrace the idea that no matter what limitations they try to implement, that they should stop trying to cut their noses off to spite their faces and focus how to embrace the social norm and make their services match what their user base wants.

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Chris Not sure about circles but social media generally can put one in a spin!

Great post as usual Chris- what plug in are you using to show thumbnails of relevant posts? I use link within but doesn’t show this many?

Yes u can uncircle to add
I hope they raise the limit. I can see hitting 5000 quickly and that would lead to alot of housecleaning.
