Iā€™m not sure if there can be a group (circle) that is shared amongst all the members. In other words, I have a SDMB circle that I added you to, but you donā€™t necessarily see that Iā€™ve put you in that circle or anyone else that Iā€™ve added to my circle. Also you might want to name your circle Dopers, or something else. I can only see the people who you have in circles and in turn who has you in a circle, but not what those circles are or who else is in them. I never thought I would type the word ā€œcircleā€ so many times in one paragraph ---

I have added quite a few people whose e-mails I had from Google Wave, I am Andrew. Youā€™ll find me in the ā€œIncomingā€ section or in the part where you see people whoā€™ve added you to their circles. So you can all stop wondering who that random guy is. ---

I invited a ton of my friends, and there was no invite limit listed. Now I have no invite icon ā˜¹ Once I get it back, Dopers are gonna be my first priority. ---

I have sent an invite to **Akennet** and **gardentraveler**. **[Here](https://plus.google.com/u/0/109679689899088672849/posts)** is my profile for anyone interested. Especially those of you I already have in my circles but not the other way around. ---

I added a few people from this thread, but I havenā€™t really figured out how this whole thing works. Can someone give me a rundown real quick? ---
**Author:** ![Covered\_In\_Bees](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/c/7ab992/32.png) [@Covered\_In\_Bees](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Covered_In_Bees)\ **Post date:** [July 9, 2011, 6:20pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/google-invites/587262/119 "2011-07-09T18:20:51Z")
**Stream** : A grouping of various categories you have your contacts/friends divided amongst. You can share things with specific groups, multiple or all groups. For example, you want to bitch and moan about the SD, but donā€™t want your nonDoper friends to see it, you just group your SD friends in a ā€œcircleā€ and only share your moanings with them. Or if you want to share something very personal but donā€™t want your Doper friends to see, you choose whichever circle youā€™ve created that you do want to see your personal musings. **Sparks** : These are subjects you have an interest in and Google will combine a news feed of stories it thinks are relevant to the topic you chose. **Chat** : Google Talk. **+1** : Things you hit the +1 button for. If you look over my posts, you will find a link to an article with some Google Chrome extensions specifically made for Google+. Such as a +1 button for every page you view in Chrome. Also, if you look at my profile, you can see the websites Iā€™ve already gave a +1 to. In Facebook terms, itā€™s just a thumbs up. **Following** : This is where you follow the posts of people you donā€™t personally know. Though I assume you can simply add that person to any other circle you have. Basically a premade circle for you to view celebrity posts or something I guess. **Incoming** : These are the posts from people that have you in a circle, but you donā€™t have in any circles. ---

Someone who has me in her circles posted earlier, and while I could see the post if I went directly to her profile, it never showed up in my stream. Is that a bug or is that something that can happen? I canā€™t figure out why the post didnā€™t show up for me. Iā€™m in the circle that she published it to, and anyway if I werenā€™t, I wouldnā€™t be able to see it on her profile page either.
