My New to Google+ (1 followed by 100 zeros aka the big one) Getting Started List

A compilation of some of the best Google+ “Getting Started” guides, tools, and tips for users new to Google+.

If you’re new to Google+ and wondering how to get around have no fear, the newest social network on the block is filled with a vibrant user base that is willing to help. A great deal of content has been created and shared among Google+ users. This list by no means captures ALL of that content; it should however, provide a list of resources to help you get going.

How to get help
+Ardith Goodwin has created a group of users who have volunteered to help users connect with existing users of Google+ who are willing to help people new to Google+ should they want/need one-on-one help. The members of this group can be found on the Group/As site here: http://bit.ly/otbAGP. The members of the group will frequently post “New To Google? Let Us Help!” posts letting new users know we’re here if they need assistance.

If you use Chrome as your web browser I suggest grabbing the Circle+ Chrome extension (http://bit.ly/qyCrBP) by +Daniel Treadwell. With this extension enabled you can visit the Unofficial New To Google+? (http://bit.ly/otbAGP) Team page and in one click add all of the members to your Circles.

+Natalie Villalobos, Community Manager for the Google+ project, suggests starting with Early Adopter’s Guide & The Starter Pack by +Ahmed Zeeshan. Both are excellent resources for getting started on Google+ (http://bit.ly/redld9 & http://bit.ly/ok12eg).
