Power Google+ users — those with lots of Circles — are intimately aware of how frustrating it can be to manage them. Your most-used Circles can get hidden at the bottom of a long list. But Google+ engineer Brett van Zuiden now comes to the rescue with some welcome Friday afternoon news: You can now reorder your circles.
“We’ve been hearing that you want a way to reorder your circles — so when you add people, view your stream, or share, that list of circles is in the order that works for you,” van Zuiden writes on Google’s thriving social network. “We thought it was a great idea, and today, we’re launching this on Google+.”
In the Circles tab, simply drag-and-drop your Circles to reorder them. Your Circles will now appear elsewhere in the social network in the order you’ve determined.
And that’s not all. “When in the circles tab, you can drag a circle up into the space where all your people are to view all the people for that circle,” van Zuiden adds. “For those in-the-know, it’s called ‘Circle in Tab.’”
The feature release is a relatively minor addition — it probably should have made the first private beta build. Still, it’s an update that could ease a little pain for Google+’s most Circle-happy users.
Google+ Update Makes Managing Circles Easier
Have you tried SpringPad? It Rocks!
I was looking for a way to take quick notes, make lists, save information etc and share throughout all my platforms (phone, computers, and ipad) when I stumbled upon SpringPad. I absolutely love it. I tested it out the other day when I went to the grocery store as I set up a “task list” of all the grocery items that I needed via SpringPad on my computer and I was able to view my list via my cell phone so that when I was at the grocery store I readily had my list available with a means also to check off the items as I got them. How awesome is that?
How it works!
Think it Spring it
Springpad gives you a place to quickly and easily save anything you want to remember. Take a note, create a task, scan a product barcode and look up the book your friend mentioned. The best part is that no matter where you are, Springpad is there with you to make sure you don’t forget something worth remembering. (compliments of http://springpadit.com/how_it_works)
So, remember “Just think it and Spring it”, and it’ll be there for you when you need it.
