Not a tech geek? Just got Google+ and wondering what it's all about?
On Google+ you can follow anybody you think is interesting, without them being your friend.
Click interesting people to the right and add them to a circle. If you ever want to see what they're doing, just visit that circle!
To add to a circle, look for the box saying 'Add to circles' on the far right of the person's name. Then tick 'Following'

Currently it's tough to find people who aren't talking about Google+ on Google+ - This page was designed so I wouldn't have to spend all my time routing friends to interesting profiles :)
Got any suggestions? Facebook comment streams don't seem to allow G+ urls?
