Google+ is my nightmare

Below Notifications and above Chat there's a link for Sparks. I think that may be what you're looking for.

No I have some Sparks set up (ie Petebilt, Motocross, Supercross and so on) but I'm looking for random things posted by people I haven't added to circles. Can this be done?

There may be an easier way that I just don't see, but here's a slightly involved method:

http://www.techoncept.com/add-google...s-posts-chrome

The downside is that it doesn't let you see these posts in a stream, but rather gives you abbreviated search results to click on.

Only problem with that is I don't use Chrome. Might have to try it out. Not sure.

Had to bump this...

I don't use Myspace, facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc...

Therefore, I also don't use Google plus.

I do, however, use gmail.

Apparently, because I have friends that use Google Plus and also use gmail, I get to see all of their useless updates that I don't care about and didn't sign up to not see.

Thanks Google.

You are also getting your email scanned every day, to search for keywords so they can figure out what kind of ads to send to you.

Plus, Google owns Youtube now, so if you had a Youtube account before, you won't be able to sign into it anymore until you "link" it to your Google account. This way, they can cross-reference what kind of videos you watch with what you say in your emails. Nice.

yeah my gmail account was the only one left not getting spammed. Now I get all sorts of shit. Fuck that. Gmail is probably going to end up as trash account going forward.
