Google Plus, which Google provides, is a social networking service that differs from other social networking services as it provides users with a variety of features that other social networking websites do not. These features include Myspace and Facebook. Google Plus includes a feature known as “Circles” that allows users to place friends in specific categories and only send status updates to friends in each specific category. This allows users to send messages to appropriate contacts such as friends, family members, and co-workers, without allowing those contacts to view inappropriate status updates.

 

How to Add Photos to a Google Plus Profile

In order to add photos to a Google Plus profile:

1) Sign into one’s Google Plus account and click the “Photos” icon at the top of the screen, next to the Homepage and Circles icons.

2) View one’s previously uploaded photos and photo albums as well as upload new photos by clicking the “Upload New Photos” button.

 

How to Upload Photos to Google Plus Stream

Users can share a picture or an image found in Google Images without uploading the picture or image to their Google Plus profile.

To do this, users should:

1) Click the camera icon, which can be found beneath the Stream field. This changes the Google Plus Stream to image mode, which allows users to enter the picture/image’s URL or upload one from their computer.

2) Enter the picture/image’s URL or upload a picture/image from the computer.

3) Add the contacts that will be allowed to see the image and click the “Share” button.
