I followed the link to the 'read this to see how to enable google plus' and that didn't even work. I then realized I had no idea if the google plus page I was looking at was 'new' or not. I did notice that all of the random stories from people I didn't know dissapeared. All I'm left with is the pages from companies that are active on Google Plus in the attempt to give Google a social signal and sway Google's page rank in their favor. Edit: to add, those companies are friend's companies and current and former employers. These companies asked all their employees to add them and get pester their social networks to add them as well.
