Migrating Google Plus Accounts

I was happy to find that Google had allowed G+ access to apps accounts and I could finally separate my Rabbi Bob account and my alter-ego Mike Beane without compromising my Rabbi Bob-ness. Really, I don't care what Scobel says about pseudonyms either (I found it interesting that I could find his posts, even the one linked to from the article)!

I first started migrating individuals the hard way: typing them in. Then I realized I could share a circle between accounts (or with anyone really) and that's when it became easy.

Note: works best with two browsers

• Log into the source account in one browser
• Log into the target account in another browser
• Friend yourself (you may be able to skip this)
• Open your Circles list in the primary account and select a Circle
  • Select SHARE
  • Enter the target account as the receiver & share the Circle
• Check your notifications on the target account
• Open the notification you sent yourself
• View the Circle
• In the 'Create a new circle or add to an existing circle' box, type the name of the circle
• Click ADD TO (or Create as necessary)
• If you're cleaning house, delete the Circle from the source account.

That easy!
