Google + (no invite request thread)

OK wanted to start a little Google + thread with things like

• Tips & Tricks
• Do's
• Don'ts
• Links
• Google + questions
• How could it be improved
• Current Issues

So far I have come across a nice site with a lot of details here

http://ansonalex.com/category/google-plus/
and some more great info if you add Pete Cashmore, CEO & Founder of Mashable in to your 'Following' Circle

Do
Add your family (Facebook is way too open to add my parents etc) I want to be able to communicate with them and use Hangouts for video calls etc but I dont want them to see all my posts and shares

Don't
Please Google don't start adding crappy games to the site

Tips
Nice keyboard shortcuts here http://ansonalex.com/tutorials/google-plus-keyboard-shortcuts/

My main issues are I suppose just me being a Google + NOOB

When you type in 'Goggle +' in a Google search it actually doesn't find the Google + site. I find I need to type 'Google Plus' to get at it!!
Or is that just me being thick?

On a lot of websites and pages etc there is a 'Share' option. Mostly I find its share to Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Digg and even Google Buzz. I have yet to find a 'Share to Google +' option. Will this happen or am I just missing something on the way I can do it now (I see the +1 option but that's just a Facebook Like thing really isn't it?) I want to be able to go to a website and click Share to Google + and bang it goes straight to my Google + page and allows me to share the news etc to my selected circles. I can do it from the mobile app (Android) and its great but nothing on the regular site on a PC

Another thing - how can you use Huddle - the chat tool is built in to the Android app but I cant figure it out for the web app
