I updated my list of Active GSuite G+ Users. There are so many now, Google would not let me +Mention them all in a single Post, so I split it into two parts: Part 1: https://plus.google.com/u/1/100885886882898824703/posts/TqTNGQiG3p2 Part 2: https://plus.google.com/u/1/100885886882898824703/posts/SRYNjfrUahr

GSuite G+ Pro Tip #6: The +Mention system is currently a mess, as old Consumer accounts haven't entirely been removed yet. To help people +Mention you right, find your User ID Number (the string of numbers in the URL of your Google+ Profile Page when visited from a browser), put a + sign before that, and put it in your Profile Tagline. That way, another user can grab it from your Profile Page or Hovercard and easily use it. See below for example. Taglines are planned for removal, so this is a temporary way to help each other out, but hopefully by then the +Mention system will have been fixed.

Interesting discovery. I guess GSuite for Education really is generating interesting uses. Remember how Facebook was a Stealth Invite-Only College network originally?

Personality-Life Outcome Findings Mostly Replicate In a massive replication study of 78 findings from Psychological research, the Life Outcomes of Personality Replication (LOOPR) Project has found that 85% of these findings could be successfully replicated. Given concerns in recent years over the replicability of scientific findings in a variety of fields, this finding comes as no small relief. Additionally, some of the failures to replicate, or weaker results, obtained in their studies may have been due to some studies being not-quite-perfect replications of the originals. For example, some studies were longitudinal, collecting data over a longer period, or from different types of participant samples. Nonetheless, some previously reported findings in the field also appear clearly to have been spurious based on these results, or less robust than previously believed, which in itself is a useful finding. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-04-links-personality-traits-life-outc...

Been successfully hunting out GSuite+ users this evening, by searching various terms, selecting Posts and Most Recent, and looking for people who are clearly active individuals and not organizational communities or advertising bots. The good thing is there are a metric ton of highly active GSuite Public Communities used solely by Organizations, so Google probably will keep the grandfathered ones going for a while.

Book Girl, I can't +Mention you or Comment on your Posts. Please adjust your Google+ Settings, per the Post linked below. https://plus.google.com/u/1/100885886882898824703/posts/b2YwEWrbS3f

GSuite G+ Pro Tip #4: Use the Mobile Web App instead of the Android or iOS app. It doesn't pop up that annoying message about being careful (well, if does actually, but you don't have to click or tap it away, and it sits beneath the Post out of your way). You can even Install the web app to your Home Screen from the Browser.

GSuite G+ Pro Tip #3: The Following/Followed By lists are very slow to update, as is the Follow button on Profiles. It does not mean you have not been Followed or started Following someone. One way to be sure if you are Following someone that has worked for me is to open G+ in a desktop browser, hover your mouse over their name to bring up their G+ Hover Card, and then click Follow on that card/check and see if it says Following (depending on which you are doing).

GSuite G+ Pro Tip #2: Allowing Anyone on G+ to send you Notifications will make it easier to see if someone has, for example, +Mentioned you. By Default, my Org sets this to Extended Circles , so I almost missed a user +Mentioning me when it was sent to Other Updates in my Notifications because we weren't following each other (yet). To change this, go to Settings --> General and at the top you will see Who can send you notifications? . If this isn't set to Anyone already, choose it from the drop-down menu. Also make sure that Who can comment on your public posts? is set to Anyone as well, and I recommend setting Who can see your "+1's on Posts" activity? to Only You (Circles are being phased out, so do not choose a Circle-based Setting for this) so your Followers (and others in your Org, if this is a concern) won't see your +1's. I used to leave this on, but be very sparing in using the +1 Button, but it seems best just to hide it now. ...

GSuite G+ Pro Tip #1: To stop seeing any Suggested Posts from people in your Organization (if there are any; in my case, there are just a few and they all go back to 2017), go into Settings --> Amount of Suggested posts to show in stream --> and choose None from the drop-down.

David Virden I'm not able to comment on your non-Community Public Posts. Does your GSuite acct have some Setting that limits that?

How about hashtags to help people find each other? It looks like #Survivor isn't overused. Like, one of our members used it, and before that it goes back ~200 weeks before anything else. So, maybe Post an I'm a #Survivor Post in our Public Streams? Edit: And Share this Community in the Post?

I'm going to commit to use this place as normally as I can for as long as it lasts. No more commiseration Posts from me, at least until we get another death sentence. And if/when we lose this last spark of this place, I hope as many new Connections I formed here will be connections beyond this place as possible.

Just FYI: The message you see in yellow does not mean that this [People Left Behind on G+] Community is required to have more than one Owner. It just means that having more than one is recommended, because if the Owner leaves, the Community has as little as 60-days before deletion. Don't Panic, and always remember your towel.

This is surreal. Like watching the Rapture from up in Heaven, but like before too many people get there and it's still quiet and spacey. Rapture+? Anyways, I'm here. What the hey, right? I don't know if this account will be around but maybe a couple-few years, or if it is what changes may take place to render it entirely unusable as a connecting place, but nothing lasts forever. This, too, shall pass, but I can still enjoy the moment. Hey, why not tell me a bit about yourself, and maybe we can Circle each other? I'll start: I'm a Psych Masters, defending this coming Fall Semester, hoping to go on for my Ph.D. afterwards but not quite sure how things will go near-term. I'm working with EEG Research on children and adults and the processing of own- and other-race faces, and I recently had my first Conference Abstract approved. I'll be doing a Poster Presentation at the annual meeting of the Vision Sciences Society in late May, in case anyone wi...

This is what a successful MeWe Google+ Import looks like.

Feel free to follow me at these places Originally shared by Eli Fennell Where You Can Find Me After Google+ (and Why) A Survival Guide for Connecting with Me After the Pluspocalypse Check Back Regularly for Updates Rather than shoot out a new Post each time I test out a post-Google+ social network, I'm going to Pin this Post to my Profile, with links to the networks I am currently committed to or testing where you can find me. I will also include, in some cases, resources for Tips, Tricks, those sorts of things for these networks. Eventually, I will expand this to a full review and comparison. I will Update this Post whenever necessary, and Reshare it, but you can also check the top of my Google+ Profile Page for the Pinned Version, which will always be Up-To-Date for as long as Google+ allows Post Updates. Here is where you can find me, ranked in-order of Committed , meaning I am as committed to remaining on the network for the foreseeable future, & Signed Up ,...
