This is (public) -- these tips are as valuable today as they were bak then.

Help your friends find you! - another Google+ tip...

Add and verify all of your email addresses to your Google Account here:

https://plus.google.com/settings/general

This makes it easier for your friends to find you now and in the future! I've found that I don't know the gmail address of many people, but I do know their corp email or another alias. Plus if you lose your password you can send a recovery email to your alternate address.

Be aware that you can only associate one email per Google account and you can't add another gmail address to another account. If you want to associate email addresses to your primary account you can visit this page:

https://www.google.com/accounts/EditUserInfo

1) If the email is listed as a secondary address, remove it on the old account and add to the primary.

2) If the email is primary you can change the email address of the unused account and replace it with something like username+unused@gmail.com. Then add the renamed email to the primary account.

Cheers.

One of my favorite Google+ features is Instant Upload. All the pictures I take with my phone appear in a private album online, and from there I can share with my circles (or not). For me it's a great way to remember my favorite moments, and strike up the right conversations with just the right people.

More generally, we think this difference between saving and sharing is really important for communicating online. After all: not every thought that crosses your mind comes out of your mouth :-) Features like Instant Upload give you control over how you save and share your photos. And today -- with an early developer preview of Google+ history -- we're starting to bring this save/share capability to other online activities.

If you’re a developer, you can get started with today’s preview release by visiting http://developers.google.com/+/history/preview/. With just a few lines of code your app can privately save moments (like a listened song, or a visited restaurant) to a user's Google+ history, and from there users can share those moments with others. Think Instant Upload, but for almost anything! In all cases, moments in history include attribution of your app.

To help get the juices flowing, you as a developer will notice your YouTube, +1, Play app purchases, and Instant Upload activity in Google+ history (with Search and Latitude coming soon) -- all for your eyes only, of course.

We're hosting two Google I/O sessions (Thu, June 28 at 11:45am PT and 5:15pm PT) and a codelab (Fri, June 29 at 9am PT), so you can either stop by in person, or tune in with I/O Live. Android and iOS developers can also use the new Google+ platform for mobile -- attend our session (Thu, June 28 at 1:30pm PT) to learn more.

I asked what time zone on the original post.  Not sure, but people think it's 6:30 UK time which is in about an hour from now.
