+Lynette, can you give some reasons why I would want to hide my Google+ friend/follower count.
I’m sure each person’s reasons for wanting to hide their counts are different. If you take a look at http://socialstatistics.com, you will see that many of the top followed have zero ‘friends’. In their case this might be done to protect the identity of the people *they* follow (could very well be family, etc.)
Aha, that might explain why, when I look in one view, it tells me that I’ve got 81 people in my circles & 73 have added me; but in another view, I’ve got 82 people in my circles & 90 have added me. I was putting it down to the beta-ness of G+, but maybe it’s actually related to people who’ve hidden their counts. Or something!
My husband just told me about your circle and I just now came upon this excellent video.
Just learned something, thank you so much. Charmaine
