And be very wary of Google+ at this time.
Their new motto...
Google
One account. All of Google.

I sent this to acquaintance of mine....
"Not sure what email you use...but warning you that, since you said you didn't understand Google+ and that you were not using it....that this "message" you sent me...it actually came from your iPhone, through a Google+ account, and not through a specific email. Please see where my email reply back to you ultimately ends up landing for you and where you read it?! I think it may go right to your Google+ cirlces

For those that can understand this header...obvious that Google now takes over all Google Accounts (Google Account, Google Places, Gmail, Google+, YouTube accounts with a gmail address...with Google+....In a way that I've never seen in the history of the internet.
I think more is public right now then ever. People that signed up for a Google+ account a few years ago (and don't use it ever) don't realize some "stuff"...as of a few weeks ago...is posting to a Google+ account of theirs.
Gmail reply's are (in the background) changed from e-mails to google+ messages...which in turn become posts...wholly depending on old or updated permissions...that post might be or is visible to EVERYONE ...including me...I could be reading your private email replies to your girlfriend...which have changed to posts...right on a Google+ account of yours. If I can see it...imagine who else can see what?!
Google bought YouTube and I noticed all my videos on a YouTube account I created with a gmail address all went automatically public on a Google+ account I hadn't been on in over a year, but was also associated directly or indirectly with that same gmail address.
Worldwide, right now, people's smartphones are updating linked chrome browser's (linked from Desktops to Mobile Device from logged in google accounts) to a point where their phone updates to versions and settings no one has seen before.
Many are complaining they have a virus, but can't find it.
It's Google...specifically, permissions Google granted to Google+ to override on other Google associated accounts.
Remember
Google
One account. All of Google.

Either Google put A LOT of thought into this...(in a coordinated effort to bury Microsoft and desktop computing in favor of Google Drive...cloud computing) or certainly let loose one hell of a monster by sheer lack of forethought and due diligence. Go to your Google+ account if you have one to see what it is showing publicly.
This guy had no idea Google+ was posting his "emails" to his Circles in Google+ as posts!!!
If you see...copy and paste this to every forum on hacking, passwords, Security, Privacy, etc. Thank you.
