Question About Google Profile and +1's
I just went to my Google profile and decided to look at my +1's, which I've been thinking are only links to things I, myself, had +1'd on the web. I saw a big row of links to my own writing (Hubs) that I've NEVER +1'd - ever. So now, it looks to me as if I've +1'd my own stuff on there.
My question is this: Does Google just put stuff that we've written but that someone else +1'd on there too? Or, might I be looking at some kind of hacking issues or other problem associated with someone doing something "funny"? I did try to get rid of them, but it turns out that apparently we can't get rid them. (Of course, I know it would have been wiser to hold off even trying to get rid of them until I knew whether or not Google put them on there.
)Hey Lisa,
If you have +1 anything then it will show up.
If anyone has +1 any of your stuff, then it will show up.
If anyone in your circle of friends, followers or acquaintances +1 anything, then it will show up on your feed.
At least that's what I have noticed.
I hope that helps. LisaSmith1, thank you.
I just went back to my own list of +1's, and this time I was able to get them put out of view by clicking on the "x" there. I don't want to look (even to people who have nothing to do with Google) like I'm +1ing my own stuff.
Now what I'm wondering, though, is whether Google may have "gone around" and picked up, all alt once, anything someone else has ever +1'd, or whether one person may have gone through a bunch of my Hubs and just +1'd them (with either good or not-so-good motivations behind doing that).
Oh well.... I'm not really asking for any answers here. Just "thinking out loud" (or something like that).
