Do I mean “follow”? I think the Google+ term might be “circle”. Okay, try again; 20 gamers to circle on Google+.
Google+ is Google’s attempt at a social network. It’s eary days yet but the signals are good. Not everyone is pleased but many people are. It’s been hard to get in but if you visit plus.google.com and have been good to your Google account then you’ll probably get in. If not? Leave a comment below.
As it’s early days this list of 20 comes with some conditions. These 20 gamers have all left at least one public comment so even if they don’t circle you back you’ll still be able to see something. My gut feeling tells me that other gamers who I’ve found on Google+ may over take, in terms of contributions, may overtake a few of the recommend 20 later. That’s for the future, though, this list (in no order) is to get you kick started today!
