Stack Overflow (now stackexchange, you can find the old episodes on itconversations), and techzing podcasts are packed with wit and humor. Listening to Joel, Justin and Jason, brightens any day.
I guess the problem is that you added a bunch of strangers to Google+. That's not what Google+ is for.
Um... Isn't that the reason "circles" in Google+ exist? To draw lines?
It's why we read HN instead of Reddit or Slashdot: mostly to be different.
I don't think anyone only "reads" one community. According to interest, one participates in many?
Personally, I found all this quite confusing (and just when I figured how to "circle"; doh, limit has been reached for adding people. But, you can start adding tomorrow!)... and following the advice of sp332 and betterth, I avoided falling into blunders like Google adding all 1000+ contacts to my Gtalk or notifying each and everything that ever happens in G+ universe.
Moreover, since now people are split inside circles, am I supposed to update the circle manually everyday?
Agreed, what should be a simple thing has turned into a usability nightmare. Why is Google limited the number of people I can add? Why is there a hard cap of 5000 profiles that I can add total?
If this is supposed to be a social network, why are these limitations in place?
