  • In case you want to be choose about a particular circle,then type in the post followed by the "+
    " suffixed by the name of the Circle
    .For instance if i want to send a post to Tcs circle I would be sending Hello Guys +Tcs.
  • To share the same post to an extended circle add the extended keyword after "+".
  • To share with public use the keyword Public,where as for an individual use his or her Google+ connect email id after "+".
Things to remember:
