Being added by a provider to Google+ Circles

One word - discretion

did you contact her and tell her it was very inappropriate and indiscreet for her to do so?
if not, i suggest you do so right away.

whether it wad a mistake on her part, whether she added your real or hobby gmail (but reads like it was his hobby gmail), or you forgot to privatize your gmail acct, what she did was NOT COOL!!!! period, end of discussion.

who was it so we'll know who to watch out for?

I agree he screwed up by letting his personal email out, but it is still poor judgement on the providers side. Just like when a girl doesn't use blind copy or sends group text messages. There is no reason to break provider discression like that. Originally Posted by bigryan2222

I vote for clueless with no filter.

That would really suck! Even though I always use Google numbers and hobby accounts it sucks having to change them. I would never see a provider again if she did that.

I'm not a total idiot thank you. Originally Posted by Guitarzn

Thank all of you for your input, many of the responses are a great insight to the kind of people who are on here, very interesting.

I don't seem to have as many problems isolating the email account from automatically searching out information with my yahoo email. The only problem I have had is the constant request to change my password to something they like. OK, I see the point.

Both want my phone number, which I will not give out on a public site. However, you can get around both yahoo, and google by opening an account in both and let them reference each other without listing a phone number (or wireless number). Problem solved, you now have two hobby emails that only feed back and forth to each other. Use the yahoo account to limit the google probing into your computer. Google has a problem with trying to automate the email account by using your computer code. I try to avoid Google accounts for this reason, but use the google search regularly, along with six other search engines.

I never use a hobby search engines for any financial transactions; bank, stock, etc. Use a separate one that is used only for financial.

Explorer is never used, by me - never. It used to be a straight connection to any and all things on a microsoft computer: especially word documents.

One federal government site that I am required to use demanded that only Explorer be used to set up the account. So I used the KCMO public library computer to set the account up with explorer.

When I returned back from the Library I went to the Federal Site (not IRS) with another search engine on a computer with an alarm that noted outside inquiries for certain words. As soon as I opened the account and put in my password there was an alarm that the Feds wanted to know my bank account numbers with a second alarm for passwords.

So much for your friend Obama.

Be careful my friends.

It depends on trust. I have a provider on my Linkedin profile lol.

In the age of smartphones some of the apps will automatically link ALL of your contacts from ALL accounts.

When adding the Google+ app to your phone it is real easy for it to import contacts from all of your gmail accounts, yahoo accounts, phone contacts,
Google Voice contacts, Facebook, Twitter and just about any type of social media contacts and automatically add all of them to your "Circle".


Check one wrong thing when installing some of these apps and everyone gets added and sent an add invite...


Bottom line is that even though it is not an option for some... having a Hobby phone is the best and most secure way to hobby.
