Google share
So, we are taught here to join social networks, to share and write posts.
I would get sooooo excited when someone added me to their Google+, I'd rush to add them back. It's only polite to do so, after all. If they are interested enough in what I have to say, I can be nice back, lol.
Now, a few months into this, I am starting to re-think this strategy. Don't know if I am alone in this thinking, or if there are other friends here that have the same opinion on this: is there really a need for any one individual, blogger, website owner, whatever have you, to flood your "social" box with 100 posts daily?????? I find it extremely annoying.
I follow the famous Mayo Clinic (just one example), and they only post every once in a while. I never had more than one post by them on any given day. So now I am going back and deleting the people that flood my social with too many posts. Anyone agrees?

I agree, I've seen some that post multiple times right after another. That's obnoxious and rude to me. Not to mention some of them just want to push their stuff I'm not interested in.
Yup, Starcreator. I have seen that too, that's what prompted me to write this blog. I wonder: do these people sit at their computer all day long adding to Google+???
Gordi, I agree, i only share when i have added new post,s to my website, or once in a while will share other members post's. I had one guy sent me over 50 product adds in one day. I muted him. You can mute the people that are flooding you, where you will only see the people you want. I just added you last night....i promise not to flood you with shares.
I share too, Dennis, but only things that I think might be helpful in some way to others. And of course, I do add my own posts too, but that certainly doesn't add up to 100 a day!!!
Thanks for adding me. Did I follow you?
I am new at this social network thing and don't really know how it works. I never shared any of my posts, but I am about to. And I have to say that I've been receiving many posts on my Google plus account. It's always good to learn from experienced people. Thanks.
It's not bad to share, at all. All I am saying there is no need to flood followers' boxes with 100's of posts daily
I agree Gordi. I follow people that fill a specific need or knowledge I am interested in sharing or learning. It really depends on the types of posts they have. If it is informational and I learn something from it,ok. I don't think most should be posting multiple times a day. It is very annoying, especially when it is products from other marketers. I am not there to buy a product, only to seek out those with more knowledge than I… and of course I enjoy hang-outs with WA Friends.
Hi. I check people out as much as I can before I follow them. Then, if I think they'll be good to follow, I do. But if they flood me they're gone. I don't follow for volume, I follow for quality...and try to do the same in turn. Hope this helps.
Exactly the point, Rick. It's about quality, not quantity. I've just deleted a few, and wow, it was amazing when pages of the same name disappear.

I'm starting to become more conscious of who I follow on Google+ too. Initially I began being reciprocal with follows, now I add people who share the same interest as me.
I don't like being bombarded with large amounts of posts either and see nothing wrong removing this type of activity. I only post 2 - 3 posts at a time, approximately twice a week.
Thanks for reading, Starrlett. Just this morning I saw one person post 2 full pages of pictures, within less than an hour! Granted, pictures were pretty, but what's the point of sharing those pictures?
I will keep watching for another day, and if she keeps posting pages of pics every day, I am deleting her.
