Google+ Shared Circles are No Holds Barred For Hungry Geeks.

Upcoming features to Google+ potentially may involve “shared” circles.  Like sharing a plate of bacon,  which would be gone in seconds.  But there’s increasing privacy concerns over what people should be sharing in the first place.  And bacon in particular spreads quickly.

“Prior to Google+ launch, Google’s source code reportedly hinted on new features that haven’t been released yet.  Some image names within the code starts with ‘shared_circle.’  Speculating that Google+ is getting ready to let you share certain circles of yours that anyone can subscribe to and view.

“To add more fuel to the fire,  a ‘questions’ product was also uncovered to compete with the likes of Facebook Questions and Quora. Also amongst the treasure hunt was a Chess piece icon.  Predicting a games feature within circles,” according to Staynalive.

For those who were looking through a keyhole after Google+ launched,  there seems to be a bigger one around the corner.  Taking a punch to Facebook’s *wall* with a touch of questions and Farmville perhaps.

For those who think Google+ lacked a community presence prior to release,  it appears geeks are more than willing to help build one now.  Security exploits, and other various things which eager minded Plus’ers will want to know.  Cheers to source code.
