Control The “Shouters” In Your Google+ Stream By Turning Them Down!
Across the many social media platforms we all tend to have extroverted people who at times dominant our social media feeds, timelines or walls. Whether they are continually posting status updates or sharing posts, articles and items multiple times per day they become at best a ‘noise’ at worst an unbearable annoyance!
These people are more commonly known in the world of digital marketing as ‘shouters’. A latest new feature within Google+ is the ability to control to your personal preference these ‘shouters’ by turning them down!
This great feature ensures that your Google+ Steam does not become cluttered and important posts from close friends or important Circles become more visible. Google describes this feature as the ability to “….graphic equalise and fine tune your Stream”
When you read a post on a Stream from anyone from within your Circles you will now notice a slider control appears prominently above the post (see image below).
You then have the following four personal preference options that you can select using the slider control:
- Show nothing from this stream in my main stream
- Show fewer from this stream in my main stream
- Show most from this stream in my main stream
- Show everything from this stream in my main stream
