Google+ is a social networking site powered by Google. Like Facebook and Twitter, users also use Google+ to enhance their social network. In this social networking site, circles are created where you can add your contacts and share your contents with them, just like any other social networking site.
Like every social networking site, Google+ also limits the friends to 5000. You can only add people to your circles up to 5000 only. What if someone has left the Google+, but then also those inactive users are visible in your circle. These inactive users are just a dead weight that the users need to get rid of.
Though the limit is not only one such factor, that you need to focus on this issue. The other factor is that if inactive users may make the active user selection on those sites more difficult. So detecting and removing those inactive users is necessary. A chrome extension known as Uncircle Inactives+ will scan all or selected circles on the Google+ website for inactive users.
To use this extension, log into your Google+ account and click on the icon that has been added in the Google Chrome bar after the installationof this extension. This will start scanning your circle list and will scan the selected list of circles. The selected date, which you can change easily in the interface, defines whether a user on Google+ is listed as inactive by the extension.
A list of inactive users will be displayed in front of you. That will allow you to either remove all inactive users in one go or you can select specific users to remove. It is a very handy extension that can be used easily. The interface of the extension is also very simple to use.

Recently a new feature named Google Account Activity has been added in Google which allows you to check your Account activity for each month across many Google products in a single place. Every month the Account Activity Report will collect and summarize data across your Google Account – e.g. sent emails or top searches.
When you sign up for this feature you will be given a link to a password-protected report with insights into your signed-in use of Google services each month. But it will take some time to generate it. This monthly report will actually let you know that how much of the personal data has been collected by Google.
It is actually a periodical report which shows that how many Emails you have sent and how many Emails you have received, how often you have searched on Google, from which countries you have logged in and how often your YouTube videos have been viewed etc. if you have deleted data from the data source, e.g. in your Web History, it will have no impact on issued reports, however reports can be deleted at any time.
To sign-up for this services all you have to do is just visit this link in your browser and sign-in to your Account, then Google will collect and summarizes your data across your Google Account and send you the monthly report on your Account activity.
To delete any report just click on the “Trash” icon at the top of the report and you will be asked for a confirmation. Just click on the “Delete” button and your report will be deleted. But once you confirm to delete the report, you won’t be able to undo your action.
This feature is a good new feature in Google which provides transparency of the data collected by them. In other word it is just like your periodic bank statement which tells you everything about your transactions. Soon Google is going to add more new exciting features too.
