To be fair, I spend the majority of my time looking at posts in the 'new' section.
Being here just over a fortnight, I haven't found all that many people I've really connected with, though there are a few. I need to have a clear out of my 'followed' list as I made a rookie error in following a lot of people back.
Even at this early stage I'm certain I've missed some great posts and can only imagine what things would have been like had I continued!
Lessons learned. Thanks for the insights :)
Well on G+ you can't tell if someone follows you back or not. This mentality is a carryover from Facebook & serves no practical application. People who think it's "rude" are just trying to manipulate you into following them. My feed, is about what / who I like, not about what others like or what others want me to do.
