If you are new to Google+, you can check out some guides to help you transfer your contacts and pictures from other social networks in few simple steps. There are several methods available on the internet to accomplish them but we will look at two of them right. Just follow the steps mention below and you will be able to add RSS feeds for Google+ in no time.

Method 1

Visit the unofficial Google+ User Feed creator which helps users create RSS feeds for different Google+ profiles. Normally, when you look at the URL of Google+ profile, it looks something like this:

https://plus.google.com/117420368760274729369

When you will visit PlusFeed, it will show you URL after which you have to the numbers which are with your Google+ profile URL. Then after adding the numbers, the URL should look something like the one shown below:

http://plusfeed.appspot.com/117420368760274729369

Now all you have to do is paste this URL in your feed reader and you will be able to follow the updates from that user.

Method 2

The second method is creating RSS Feeds through an online service, FeedDude. FeedDude is a useful web service which can be used to create RSS Feeds for any website which does not provide RSS feeds. You can easily create RSS feeds for Google+, Facebook or Twitter using FeedDude so that they can be added to any feed reader.

To create RSS Feeds, open FeedDude, paste the URL of the Google+ profile and click Get RSS.

After creating the feed, it will give you the link to download the created feed. You can download the RSS feed and add it to your desktop feed reader.

You can even copy the link given by FeedDude and add them to Google Reader.

I hope you found these useful. If you know about any other application or internet tool which can help users create RSS feeds, please share with us using the comments section below.

MuscleNerd has been suspended from Google+. His profile has been suspended on the premise that he has not provided his real name. Google has it in the Terms and Conditions of Google+ that all users must provide their real names. MuscleNerd didn’t do that, which led to him being suspended from Google’s infant social network.

Google+ was launched earlier last month in June and is currently in field trial only. You need an invite currently in order to use Google+ as public registration has still not be opened. If you’d like to try out Google+. don’t hesitate to ask us for a free Google+ invitation. This new social network was launched in competition to Facebook and Twitter that currently dominate online social networking globally. Within the span of one month, Google+ has grown to 18million+ users, hinting a promising future for the internet search giant’s new social network.

Google really seems to be enforcing its policies. They have also asked all Google+ users to set their profiles to public by the end of this month or face being banned from the network. No other social network has such stringent policies and for Google to make real names for profiles a mandatory requirement, it may cause some privacy buffs to speak out. Logically speaking, it is obvious that MuscleNerd has legit reasons for not wanting his real name to get out on the internet. We know that the internet is filled with creeps and equally creepy stalkers that can also bring harm upon you. A person who is already followed nearly quarter of a million people on Twitter would obviously not want people to find out where he lives and what he really does. So what if he doesn’t want to give out his name? Why does Google have a problem with that?

We’ll update you further when we hear more on this. For now though, it can be safely said that the submission of real names is mandatory for using Google+, whether you like it or not. Please do share with us what you think about this unnecessary obligation by commenting below.
