Google Plus

Useful Tips & Tricks for using Google+

Google-plus :

Since Google launched their new social network it has been the hot topic on the web. But one can not help but wonder why users of Facebook would 100% shift to Google+.

There are multiple reason. First & formost, one of them is that Google already has its own fanbase who are ready to adopt whatever Google releases. The next reason is Circles : With Google Circle, the company has very well tried to overcome some of the highly controversial privacy issues that have been coming up with Facebook. So If you are one of the lucky ones who do have an invite to Google Plus, below are some of the tips which can help you in sharing, highlighting your content on the new Social network, that many think will be the next big Social network.

  • Highlighting your shared content in bold letters . With so many shares on the stream, your important message can be missed by your followers, so you would like the keywords in the shared message to be highlighted, To Highlight keyword in your message, Just start the keyword with * and end it with the same.

  • Example: *BuzzingUp* is a Great website will appear as BuzzingUp is a Great website

  • Styling your content as Italic instead of regular text . You can make some of your keywords as Italic by typing _ before and after the keyword.

  • Example: _BuzzingUp_ is a great website will appear as BuzzingUp is a great website

  • Share your photo, videos and links by just dragging to the share box. The more people can find, they more chances they'll find you.
  • Mention your friends or followers by @ or + sign . Just like Facebook & Twitter, you can refer to a profile personally in a stream of comments you can type the username by @ or + sign before the username, this will tag the mentioned user.
  • Permlink for posts . Clicking the timestamp on a post will display that post with a permlink.
  • Private message to the users can be sent to the user by typing the message and sharing it with only that particular user and disabling the reshare from the dropdown infront the message.
  • Resize the Chat Box in Google+ . Unlike Gmail, you can resize the chat box by just dragging the box by its corner or sides.
  • Starting some Sparks. In addition to making friend and following people, you can search for topics of your interests in the Sparks section on the side menu of the main page. Click Sparks, and search for the topics and once searched you can even pin the topic for quick reference in future.
  • See all profile pictures at once- By clicking on the profile picture, you can cycle through all the profile picture without even browing to photos tab.

  1. Space bar . Scroll down to the stream
  2. Shift Space bar- Scroll to the top of the stream.
  3. Q . Jump to chat
  4. Hit Return key . Comment on the highlighted post.

Rogue Software Alerts

Rogue security software mainly relies on scare tactics in order to defeat the security built into modern operating system and browser software and install itself onto victims' computers

Most have a Trojan horse component, which users are misled into installing. The Trojan may be disguised as

  • * A browser plug-in or extension (typically toolbar)
  • * An image, screensaver or archive file attached to an e-mail message
  • * Multimedia codec required to play a certain video clip
  • * Software shared on peer-to-peer networks
  • * A free online malware scanning service

Some rogue security software, however, propagate onto users computers as drive-by downloads which exploit security vulnerabilities in web browsers or e-mail clients to install themselves without any manual interaction

Typically, rogue antivirus software displays a message saying that the PC is infected and offering antivirus software for sale. In a successful attack, the scammers end up with the victim's credit card information and don't bother to install any legitimate software
