Trick to stop Pages from automatically going into the "Following" circle when you click follow

Ignoring the fact that putting Pages automatically in a circle first before giving us choice sort of defeats the whole concept of circles here is a tip to work around this.

PROTIP: Rename your "Following" circle to anything else. I renamed mine to "Follow". Now when I click follow on a Page it no longer automatically goes into a circle and I can just choose one.

You've always been able to select which circle it goes into my hovering over the button and selecting which circle to the person should be added to in the pop-up.

I actually just learned that it automatically adds people to the Following category if you just hit the button. I thought that was a super awesome shortcut considering I just consolidated all my contacts into that very same Circle.

For a lot of us, not all of us apparently, the new method is Following is automatically checked once you hover over that red rectangle. Then you have to change their circles to where you want them. I first noticed this a few days ago. It just adds another unwanted step.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
