\"\"<\/a>In prep for the impending de-socialization of Google Reader<\/a> (sniff), I’m figuring out how to get Google Plus to replace it<\/p>\n

I’ve been pondering a content-based approach. \u00a0Right now, folks who follow me in Reader get a deluge of miscellaneous items — whimsical and serious. I’ve often wondered at whether there are folks who are interested in one vs. the other.<\/p>\n

It’s easy enough in Reader to skim through share titles, so it hasn’t struck me as a big deal. But it’s not nearly as easy to do that sort of skimming in Plus (one of its, ahem, drawbacks). \u00a0In some ways, it’s much more like Twitter — and in both Plus and Twitter, to date, I’ve been very selective about what I post, usually leaning to the personal (on Twitter) and whimsical (Plus).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So I’m thinking of creating two new circles on Plus — call them Whimsical<\/strong> and Serious<\/strong>. \u00a0I’ll take the folks currently following me in Reader (and probably everyone else in my Circles except for the folks who I’m just following) and put them into both groups, but offer them the opportunity to “opt out” from one or the other. \u00a0Not interested in my being all screedy about the Religious Right? \u00a0I’ll pull you out of “Serious.” \u00a0Bored to tears with cute Doctor Who graphics? \u00a0I can pull you out of Whimsical.<\/p>\n

Hmmmmm … though, on the other hand, how do my followers know what circles of mine they are in, or how to get to just one or the other?<\/p>\n

Okay, so maybe that won’t work.<\/p>\n

The other problem is that I don’t want this stuff stuck in Plus. \u00a0I want it (as with my current Reader-spawned) Unblogged Bits) pulled into my blog. \u00a0There are some unofficial ways<\/a>\u00a0to generate an RSS feed from Plus … but that only works for Public<\/em> posts — stuff that goes to any particular circle(s) isn’t visible in that fashion. And all that gets generated are the titles — the spiffy commentary notes go away completely.<\/p>\n

That’s a big problem to me, even if I leave off of the Whimsical\/Serious thing.<\/p>\n

*Sigh*<\/p>\n
