The most dramatic news stories of the week, and perhaps months, is of course the launch of Google+ social network. Despite the fact that the connection until it is done by invitation only, people already received invites, including thanks to our blog. Judging by the first reviews from Google+ seems very positive, the product turned out interesting. Today we want to present an overview of some interesting pieces of this social network that can help you better get used to it.

1. If you prefer to use the keyboard shortcuts you can use the key «j» to move down through the records and «k» to move up. If you want to add a comment, then press Enter, and you can start writing.

2. When writing messages, you can apply some formatting. For example, if you select a word * asterisks *, it will be written in bold, and if _nizhnee tire_, the italics.

3. Next to each entry you can store the displayed category to access this recording. Click on this link to see the list of names of readers of this record.

4. If you want someone to mention in your post, simply type the + or @ and start typing the desired name. A list from which you can select the desired contact.

5. One of the key features of Google+ is the ability to publish messages only for certain categories of users in Google terminology - circles. But you can also publish the recording, which will be visible only to specific users. To do this in the field Add circles or people just start typing the desired name.

6. Published pictures can be edited. To do this, click on the image, and then in the drop-down menu Actions in the lower right corner, select change photo. Right panel appears containing several settings and filters.

7. In Google+, as well as in Gmail has built in chat window. The difference is that you can easily change the size simply by dragging the borders.

8. If some post in your stream gets a lot of comments that you are not very interested, you can hide it. You can use the drop-down menu next to each entry. You can also block users. The same menu next to your records allow or prohibit commenting further Sharing entry.

9. Gmail is now so closely integrated to Google+, you'll not only receive messages for all updates, but also be able to take notes right here.

10. Google+ interesting feature is the ability to customize their profile to display different data for different user groups. For example, for employees, you can specify the place of employment and education, and for friends to show their hobbies and interests, but to hide the place of work, and for her friends just to correct marital status... :). You can also see your eyes the profile of your chosen person. In my opinion such profile customization options earlier in the social networks did not meet.
