Google +

Google + is the social layer to Google Apps.  I have the least bit of confidence using this portion of the monstrosity that is all things GOOGLE from gmail to contacts to google drive to google maps, etc!   I have had albums shared with me and enjoy the ability to communicate large albums of photos quickly and privately.  I made sure that I went through the privacy check immediately after opening and adding information to my profile.  I feel most comfortable not using my full name even though I have explored the settings and believe that I have made my account secure.  I have started joining communities for topics of interest (math, gardening, cooking, crafts, etc.)  I have also developed a circle for close friends and another circle for family members as I plan to relay information using these features.
