Shared Circles and a Confession

I HAVE A CONFESSION to make: my most retweeted items come from Google Plus Shared Circles. And now since my G+ activity is much higher than what I do on Twitter, I'm sharing the inside story.

It's a story of how to find like-minded, engaging people on Google+ by tapping into a list of 139,000 names and over 900 circles on the Google+ Shared Circles Database. If you like eclectic, this is your honeypot.

The Shared Circles Database gets regular updates from the Google+ community. If you're a regular reader of my blog and someone has shared a circle with you that is worth recording, please take a moment to add it to the Google+ Shared Circles Database at goo.gl/PrcGo #SharedCircles

Here are the instructions http://goo.gl/Ktn6R and the current categories are below the break.
