Even Though I Shared A Google Plus Album With A Circle E.g.

How can I use Google+ (within our own company Google Apps domain) to share a photo archive among the employees, with multiple contributors?

As I understand you can use Google+ via apps within your company and that automatically creates a circle of users for that comapny. Then when you share photo albums in that circle only employees can see,administrate and upload the photos. If they use smartphones they can automatically upload to the account. The exact technical details are not known to me unfortunately if that is what you're looking for.

Is it possible to share x-rated content on Google+ communities?

Yes and noOn Google in general"Nude, explicit, obscene and X-rated content" may be posted to Blogger (product) (a Google-owned service) and on Google Sites (formerly or soon-to-be formerly Google Groups). In both cases, when creating the blog or site, there is an option that one may select, to indicate that the content is not child-friendly, and may also contain adult language, sexual explicit,  controversial or violent imagery. For Blogger sites, which usually have the URL dot blogspot dot com, if not self-hosted, a warning screen precedes any access. It states that the content may be sexual or otherwise graphic, I don't recall the exact wording. It requests the user to click either "Yes, I want to view" or "No". Again, I don't recall the exact wording, or if there is any mention of being of legal age. It probably varies by locale, as Google now has country-level suffixes on Blogger blogs e.g. .dot com dot mx for Mexico or dot com dot de for Germany.On Google+One can post nude, explicit, obscene and X-rated content, but I am uncertain what the policies are. I can say, with certainty, that it is possible to share such images if restricted to a circle only, and that such sharing privacy is not abused by further redistribution by those who are recipients.

How does Google+ add value to my life?

I personnaly prefer G+ over Facebook, because you have way more control of the way you want to share thanks to the circle system. For example I can send my kids pictures to my family circle only while I would share my job party pics with my job friends circle.You may want to do it with Facebook, but it's tricky.Furthermore, as everyone do this on G+, I find that my thread contains more relevant content for me. the fact that you can chat with 9 people is really cool.And most important of all, you can export ALL your data (including you contact from G+) : good luck with Facebook.So in one sentence : more control, more relevant,  and my data still belongs to me :-)

What don't you like about Google+, and what could Google do to fix it?

Google plus is quite useful for sharing with a  small and controlled group of people (close friends, family, etc). They have really done this well, but there are still a lot of improvements that will make it awesome. Here are some I can think of:Improve feed qualityThe feed shows a lot of posts from the same user if that user has posted them - it should limit the number of postsAggregate similar articles on the feed into a single entryMake the feed column wider - too much whitespaceAdd features to control how much content one sees from a user (eg. show less from this user, etc)Improve integration with other google products, but not 'in your face'Recommend youtube videos based on what people in my circle are watchingConvert an email thread to a google+ conversationAllow people to share individual photos from picasa app (it forces to share the entire album right now)Allow instant upload photos to be added to Google Drive instead of picasa (or somehow merge them)Improve discoveryExplore tab is too random - it should be personalized (or if it is personalized, its not working well)Add features that aid discovery of interesting content - videos, photos, articles via google plusAggregate similar posts by different people across different circles Add smarter analysis and insights on topics - for example, if a post has 100 comments, try and group them and derive an overall meaning out of the commentsThere is enough sharing that is happening already, but consumption is still difficult and inefficient.CirclesHave 'elastic circles' - ability to group a couple of people instead of explicitly creating a circle. For example, if I share a photo with 5 specific friends, it should be easy to select those 5 friends for the next photo.MobileThe app (iOS) is very pretty but a bit slow - too much animations making it difficult to quickly scroll through the feedShow comments in the feed itself instead of having to click through every entryThere are too many filters and clicks across 2 dimensions - create a master feed that includes everything - public stuff, updates from my circles, posts that are hot, news that I should not miss, weather, stock prices, etc. (widgets to add different content on the feed will be pretty useful)APIEnough said :)

Is there a way to prevent Instagram from reducing the resolution quality of my photos?

Instagram is a platform for sharing many many many many pictures a day. If every picture is 5000 by 3000 pixels, a few changes needs to be made.Instagram will need servers as huge as steam serversYou will need 100 times (maybe more) data on your phoneYour data speed needs to also be 100 times faster on your phone.Highly impossible. Therefore, instagram puts a limit on their pictures. About 1000 pixels if I’m not wrong. Although there’s nothing you can do about this, there is a way to maximise the quality of those pixels. (basically a sharper photo)You should take a picture on your phone, put it into a photo editing app and downsize it before posting it on insta (here you can add filters which looks waaay better). Not to mention, cheap editing apps (instagram included) will damage your photos when you apply filters, so beware on that.

How does Google+ differ from Facebook?

The difference between Facebook and Google+The simplest way I can describe the difference between Facebook and Google Plus is that while Facebook helps you keep in touch with the people you already know, Google+ helps you get in touch with the people you want to know.You come to Facebook to find out what’s happening in your friend’s lives. For me, it has done a excellent job of reconnecting me to old friends and letting me better know the new friends I’ve made. Bravo to the Facebook team! Google+, on the other hand, is the place to go if you’re interested in sharing thoughts and ideas, commenting on events, or learning and sharing knowledge about science, education, hobbies, sports, entertainment or the arts.At first, joining Google+ can seem like walking into a cavernous hall devoid of people. However, the truth is that you’re surrounded by millions and to make them appear all you have to do is listen. Listening entails searching for people whom you want to hear and placing them in a “circle” of your choosing: “Friends”, “Family”, “Rugby Fans”, “Model Railroaders”, “Learning to Fly”, etc. Select a circle and a stream of posts from within flows down your screen.Search Google+ for your favourite authors, artists, sports/film/TV stars. Search for your favourite hobby or anything you are interested in, then circle those who say things that grab your attention. Check who those individuals have circled or who has circled them. Select liberally and soon you’ll find yourself swimming in streams of thoughts, tips, and news about the very things that interest you. The Facebook entry box asks “What is on your mind?” Google+ not only makes it easy to answer but also makes it even easier for others to find out what you have to say.Give Google+ a try and don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s just another Facebook clone. Nothing could be further from the truth. Google+ and Facebook serve two separate yet complimentary needs.Sharing this with FB friends is recommended. :-)
