How to Use Google+ as Your New Social Network

Readers,

This summer, I began to use Google+ to communicate with some of my Facebook friends. One of my dear librarian friends added me on this new social networking website and it has been very interesting!

My favorite personal organization website, Lifehacker, posted an article titled, "How Do I Make the Most of Google+?" Here's the link to the article - http://lifehacker.com/5822167/how-do-i-make-the-most-of-google%252B.

 In the article, the author focused on several topics related to Google Plus:

- Tweak the Google+ Layout

- Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Get Around

- Update Google+ From Anywhere

- Update Facebook and Google+ at Once

- Share with Facebook and Twitter, Too

- Move Your Photos to Picasa

- Beef Up the Google Status Bar

- Give Your Google+ Profile Profile a Vanity Url (http://gplus.to/)

Freebie Friday - Kashi Cereal or Granola Bar Sample

Readers,

In the regular semesters, I have to remain prepared throughout the day by having a few snacks in my Vera Bradley bag. I never know when my department head will want to meet about a new idea or when a student needs some extra study time after class ends. 

As a result, I keep Kashi snacks on hand. Usually, I eat a Kashi granola bar on the way to work and also after teaching classes. Here's a great video about the Kashi company.
