I trust those in my AoIR circle are mapping how their social networks grow on this new platform?﻿

Mainly, I'm looking at that wonderfully vague concept of engagement within this network, especially since I'm observing this network through a Droid app.﻿

Matt Cutts originally shared:
 
This is important: Google has been able to detect a large number of computers infected with a specific piece of malware. If you go to Google.com right now, check to see whether you get a "Your computer appears to be infected" warning at the top. If you see the message, you need to clean up the infection from your machine.

We're trying this as an experiment to alert and protect consumers that we believe have infected machines. Please share this widely.﻿

Is it clear to users who might be controlling access to their posts, that if they comment on someone else's public post, then their comments are public? Can one tell the visibility of a comment stream before leaving a comment?﻿

+Jeremy hunsinger It is certainly effective. The problem is that the effectiveness is often tied to a harm of some kind if it's not a managed situation like a classroom. The most effective case would be if people offended others they didn't think were included on a conversation, or if they find that public google results include comments they didn't know were public. I don't think it's a huge problem, just not ideal.﻿

Seems if someone adds you and they're not in your circles, you get a notification and they appear in your Incoming feed, giving you the option to act on it.﻿

The only way that I can see to act on it is to block people who you don't want in your Incoming feed. That makes no distinction between "block because this person is an evil spammer" and "block because this person is interesting but too prolific to follow", and all of the other circles of non-following that you might imagine.﻿
