Sharing your Google Plus Circles – meh.

It’s Battle  of the Public Lists!  We’ve got Twitter, Facebook and now G+ that can all share lists (or circles) publicly.

I certainly don’t want to share all my circles.  I have some pretty down and dirty ones.  Yet there are some I would be very happy to share and I’m interested to see how the new Share a Circle  function works.  So I took one of my circles (aptly called Givers and Sharers) and made it public.

Circle

You’ll notice I made it public but also shared it to my circles.  Everyone in the circle should also be notified and can see those I’ve included.  Interesting that you cannot see what I named the circle.

Hmmm…then I found this video from G+:

I’m not sold yet on the idea that I want to publicize my circles even after my Circle Saturday post.  Hey, I already have next weeks Circle Saturday written.  I really hope the Circle Saturday thing catches on.

I think the reason this isn’t such a big thing to me is that it’s very temporary.  This share happens in my stream.  It’s just a point in time and it disappears down the stream in a few days.  It’s not bookmarked over on my sidebar.  It’s one and done.  It’s like a group POKE, but then you can’t return the Poke.  Maybe it’s more like a Tweet containing only a #FF and 6 @Names with no explanation why.  Not very valuable, eh?

Compare that to a public Twitter List like  my Hockey Pucks, F1 Peeps or Coolest 100 or even a public Facebook List like my Great RE People – all of which have  staying power and at least tell people the ‘what’ or the ‘why’.

But then again, with the new Facebook Timeline a public list is going to be hard to find.  Does  that mean Twitter won this round?

What do you think?  Have a list to share?

He's an avid hockey fan, rides a mountain bike, sometimes rides a road bike, has a few motorcycles (he had a really fast one, bought a cool orange one, rode a really slow one, and now,a perfect "BDR Weapon"). If that isn't enough, he makes cheese and sourdough bread, loves strong beer and good red wine, and poorly plays the Mandolin.

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
