Google+ is getting mixed reaction from users all over the world. I am using this new social networking platform and the experience is really good. Once you will start adding people in your circle and the stream page will keep refreshing very quickly, you will be in need of keyboard shortcuts and other powerful features to speed-up your communication as well as to be quick on Google+.
Here are some important tips and keyboard shortcuts to make your life much easier on Google+.
1. To bold, italic and strike out words
‘word’ means word
_word_ means word
-word- means word
That means you can get bold or italic or strike out style for particular words by placing that in above mentioned special characters.
2. To share a post, video or image from a webpage, you just need to drag and drop the link from browser to the status update box on Google+
3. Keyboard Shortcuts
