Then they will only see your public posts and can only see any info you set specifically as public. You won't get any of their posts in your stream since you didn't add them back.

This is convenient, for example, I've added a few google employees to a circle so I can see their public posts in my stream as they have been giving updates on google+. Obviously, they have no interest in my posts so they don't need to add me.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Anyone that asks for an invite in this thread, or any other besides the sticky, shouldn't be surprised if it just vanishes.

I'm having an issue with the mobile app. From the streams page it says I have no one in my circles, but on the circles page every one is there.

Anyone else seen this yet? I already submitted the problem.

When I look at my profile > about on the android app, it shows an old email address from an old job. It is not on the browser profile > about, and it is not under my contact info in gmail.

Also, on my phone, my wife's profile > about shows her email address misspelled, but it is correct on her profile and in my contact list.

Does anyone know where it is getting the about info for the phone app, because it does not match the info from the browser about page?

Quick question/need some clarity on the "invite tab". I had this option yesterday and only had a chance to send an invite to 2 people. I logged back on this morning and the tab is gone. I read that other people has had this happen where it randomly disappears but does it come back? Thanks in advance.

I would assume Google turned invites off for the time being. It will return in time.

Q: Is there a way to create a circle using a Group you already have set up in Gmail? I have several groups set up in Gmail that I hope I can just bring over to G+. Those groups are rather large and I'd hate to have to set them up again.

Is there any way to sort your stream? Ive look all over but cannot find it. To sort it by date or most recent post, or by most +1s or most re-shared, etc., instead of the default? Has anyone found a way to do this?

Q: Can you only log into the android app with a gmail acct? A friend signed up with his yahoo, and he said it wouldn't let him log into the app with it, only gave him the option for his gmail.

I'm pretty sure you need a gmail for Google+ anyway, which is why you need one for the app.

What happens when my contacts have several emails and it asks me to add them to circles when I already have them added to circles? Is there away to link all emails to the same person so I don't have them in the add to circles suggestion area?
