Since 28 June 2011 Google has ventured into a NEW social networking, which some of you might have been experiencing in the last few weeks. NW Okie has been reading and trying to organize her Google+ account (nwokie). You might have noticed a NEW icon link at the top of the OkieLegacy eZine webpage next to the twitter icon. It is the Google +1! Google's +1 works like Facebook's "Like" button.

[Click on the image for a larger view!] We found this Google Plus Cheat Sheet online that some of you first timers connecting with Google+. Some have been saying that if Twitter and Facebook had a baby it would be Google+ (G+). That may sound a bit weird to some, but G+ is a lot cleaner and less cluttered than Facebook. You can type more than 140 characters in a post as opposed to Twitter. For beginners it might be a bit confusing, but there are sites and Google Tips out there to help you slowly get accustomed to it so it is not so overwhelming.

We find the following site online to help those beginners just getting started. CLICK HERE for Part One: Intro to G+ and Circles! It says do not let circles make your head spin. G+ is built around the idea that we all have different circles of friends and acquaintances. Be creative! Let your circles help you filter the people you read and the people you share your thoughts with. Maybe this page will help others from becoming overwhelmed with setting up their circles; following and posting to friends.
