How to restore comments flagged as spam by Google+


How to restore comments flagged as spam by Google+

My biggest complaint about the Google+ redesign is that the automated spam filter often falsely flags perfectly good comments as spam, and doesn’t let you restore them.

Some have suggested that the fix is to use the old system and not the new.

But it occurred to me today that you can use the new redesigned version nearly full-time, but dip into the old design just to restore falsely flagged comments.

Just use the the “Notifications” stream: https://plus.google.com/notifications

For some reason, Google throws you back into the old version for Notifications. There, you can find the falsely flagged comments and restore them.

Updated: Ruling Social Media with Friends+Me

Friends+Me is my favorite tool for managing a multi network strategy, in part because it doesn’t require me to Post manually to multiple networks. I post once, to Google+, then with at most a minute or two of optimizing, I’ve got a queue of Posts ready to go out to all my largest networks.

While there are many great tools for scheduling Posts to multiple social networks, none in my opinion is as clever, as powerful, or as easy as Friends+Me​​. It helps me spend less of my time sharing to social media, and more time using social media, and has changed how I use social media by not making me radically change how I prefer to use social media.

And now, it’s even more powerful, with a new feature to automatically pull in a hashtag from the Original Post to share to Twitter. So now, you can place your hashtag anywhere in the Post and have it automatically appended to your Tweet, by enabling this new feature. (This also goes to show the commitment of its developer to making improvements based on user feedback.)

Are you using Friends+Me? Which networks and what sort of features would you like to see it support in the future?

The Friends+Me secret is out!

It is “based” in Google+, but I also find it especially useful to post in FB, to which I loath going. Also, I can schedule the FB posts so they’re most likely to be seen by friends in the USA.
This said, I sometimes also use it to cross post my Google+ stuff to Twitter and Linkedin for certain fields where I have a presence in some niche area like IP Communications. It can do Pinterest, too, but I don’t much there.
Another good use is keeping posts current in my Music collection, for example. Rather than posting three things at once, I can space them out.

I want to mention also the service is impressive and any bug I have found due to a Google change, for example, has been promptly fixed. I am a paid user, but I have no other connection to tout the service other than I think it’s great.

Google+ Activity Log


Google+ Activity Log
Google+ now features a list of all your actions including posts, comments, +1s, votes, blocks, and much more. You can access your Activity Log on Android, iOS, and the Web from the Settings menu.

Filter the list to find recent comments or other actions you’ve made (I personally find this very useful when I want to re-find conversations I’ve participated in) or easily remove any action you’ve taken on Google+ using the X on each list item. Don’t worry, you’ll be asked to confirm before we actually delete anything.

As usual, you can tell us what you think about this new feature using the Send Feedback menu item. Thanks~

CircleCount PRO is out now!

CircleCount PRO is out now!
Woohoo!

As a lot of you probably know, CircleCount is developed by just a few people on a voluntary basis so far. Since the cost for running the site is steadily increasing and our ad revenue is decreasing we need another revenue stream. 

We calculated that we need 100 paying customers in order to keep the service running for a long time to come. With your money we will be able to pay the server costs and be able to keep developing new CircleCount services. So please spread the word.

We would be very happy if you could order our PRO Service via this link: http://www.circlecount.com/pro/

As a little extra: The first 100 subscriber get a little surprise gift. 😉

Thank you very much for your support and the trust in us!

Kind regards

Your CircleCount Team

Friends+Me Vs. Hootsuite… Which is more reliable?  I give my opinions about this.  I have used Hootsuite for more than a decade; but with too many failed scheduled posts lately, this put me on the hunt for something better.  I believe I have found what I need in Friends+Me.
