Disadvantages of Google Plus and how to deal with them

Good afternoon Habr,

It took a little time and Google Plus healed for the whole. Now there is not boring. I would even say too much information from the necessary to the unnecessary. The truth is still a little spam, but soon it will come too. After adding 200+ people to the circles, my brain overload began.

Unlike Facebook, where you can hide posts on the main wall without turning off friends or making a page, there is no such option (yet) in Google:
')


I thought for a long time how to get around this, and it’s better not to invent how to create a separate circle and call “My Wall”. Here is a short and effective recipe.

By default, I add all the people in this circle. And then in other circles for different interests. When it is necessary to remove someone, just with a slight movement of the mouse I remove the circle "My Wall" for this person. Fortunately, the last operation in Google is well thought out (you just need to hover the mouse on the green field with circles whom we want to hide).

The only thing I miss is that the “My Wall” circle is shown by default, otherwise when I go to Google+, you need to click extra.

Also, while on Google+ there are no beautiful URLs. The addresses of the profiles are very long and unappealing. Larry has such a link plus.google.com/106189723444098348646 .

Here you need to refer to already existing services to trim links. For example, you can create a redirect on Links2.Me and get links2.me/larry.page - it reads in English as “leads to me, Larry Page”.
