I would guess that this is handled differently between universities and even between departments at the same university. My math and science profs went out of their way to encourage collaboration. The courses were typically weighted so that

That's definitely the hardest part. I figure that if people have gone to the effort of getting around that limitation when I've pretty clearly asked them not to, then it's not someone I need to be sharing with again in the future. I have at

If I take a photo in public it may contain people that I don't even know. I have no obligation to give those people a copy of the photo nor do I have any obligation to tell them they were in my photo. This happens a LOT in popular public pl

The album is only relevant if you create your albums based on context. I don't take that many pictures any more and so most of my albums are based on dates. For example I have an album that contains all pictures from January 2011, there's a

Actually, before Google+ existed Picasa supported the ability to tag people in photos, and manage albums with limited/restricted sharing. So this is a fundamental change to functionality.

I store most of my albums by date and not necessarily by context. So if you were to go through an album I would have to explain the context of each three or four pictures. I'm very particular about whom I share photos with so having a confe

Probably not that many. I don't use facebook in large part due to their "everything is public" attitude so it doesn't surprise me. Google+ started off with the circles model and a control whom who share with model so this does surprise me.

It's completely and utterly irrelevant that it's you. I took the picture, it's MY picture. I have thousands of physical pictures captured on 35mm film. I have names and dates written on them, should I have to give a copy of all of those pic

I agree that the public/private/partially-shared features aren't terribly effective and as such am careful about what I post. I do however find them useful. I don't allows re-sharing of my photos and I've told everyone I share photos with t

Why should Person A be able to see the photos they are tagged in if the photos have never been shared? If I have lots of albums on Picasa and I never share any of them but I tag everyone in them, that's pretty clearly for my benefit and not

Allowing someone that was tagged in a photo to see the photo is fine with me. Letting them see the entire album doesn't make a bit of sense because there's not really a good way to automatically determine if the rest of the pictures in the

It's not the behavior I expect, and I would not have tagged anyone in any of my photos had I realized that tagging was sharing.

Just to add another token data point. I have it up full screen at 1920x1200. CPU usage is sitting between 50 and 75% of one core and GPU usage jumps back and forth between 40% for a few seconds and then 80% for a few seconds. This is using

You don't need a + account to read public posts. The included link though appears to be a profile link and not to a specific post so when I clicked on it a different post was at the top of the stream. The following link should go straight t

Sometimes following the links from the shared items (if they weren't public) will allow you to create a profile and sometimes it won't. The invite button and interface was up for a very short time and is already gone again so the shared lin

It was in the right hand corner under the "go mobile" section. However it only lasted about thirty minutes.

On your stream page just type a message in the share something box "Hi." for example. Then in the sharing selection box put in their email address. They'll get a message with a link to see what you shared with them and for whatever reason t

It comes up with plus just like it's supposed to. edit for clarity: When I tried this I got the same google plus profile creation screen as when I signed up with my actual google account.

I just tried going to https://plus.google.com/u/0/me with a gmail account I don't have a profile for and was prompted to sign in and then create a profile & continue. Seems it's hit or miss just like sharing content from g+ members to

There's at least one google engineer in my extended circles that was surprised the ability to edit the URL in the profile editor was gone. The instructions on how to edit the url are still there but the element is missing from the new layou

They should probably just change the default to disallow re-sharing on limited posts. I found the disable re-share option immediately but my wife didn't notice it due to the low contrast of the drop down button on each post. I'm a little mo

It very much looks like they are already integrated with Google+ so I'm not sure how reliant they will be long term.

You can just retry several times from the same link, eventually you'll get in. People I invited on Wednesday couldn't create their profiles until Thursday afternoon.

I completely agree that you shouldn't have to hover over the cards to figure out what email address they are associating with each card. That's a huge blunder.

Surprised it lasted that long but it also looked like quite a few invites went out that way.
