Can anyone figure out how Google+ works?

I was one of the 'lucky' few who were invited in to test Google+ and I notice it now has a full launch allowing businesses and websites to open their own page.

Any one got a link to simple instructions so that I can link other social feeds like rss, twitter, facebook etc. to my news update in +.

I am so dim!

Top Tips ran a good tip a while back: "Give facebook that Google+ feel by unfriending anyone that doesn't work in IT"

I am usually quite incompetent at this sort of thing but I use it a bit. Note I am not on FB.

You need some friends, is that your problem;-)

I just post riding stuff but you 'invite' some friends and then you just type stuff, add pics etc to the what's happening box and hit 'share'.

for me it has the same problem as any other social network site, in that if you dont own a smartarse phone it doesn't really have much point..emails seem to work fine.. or maybe its just me
