May I publish an other one without annoying people that are following me for something else ? It's especially a problem with my french articles, since most of people following me won't understand french.
Yup, that's a killer. I have people who follow me for personal stuff, a few people who follow me for kayaking stuff, a couple hundred people who apparently follow me for tech/entrepreneurial stuff and some people who follow me for interesting links to French content.
But the tech people have only a limited interest in kayaking, none of the kayaking people care weird French TV series, and so on. So anything I say is going to bore someone. At least Google+ circles make it easy to restrict 99% of the "adorable child" photos to my immediate family. But that only works for those followers I know personally, not the couple hundred strangers who follow me for one reason or another.
How not to be boring, rule 101: Thou shalt not obsess about one's hobbies to people who are not interested.
Twitter works a bit better, because I can have several independent Twitter accounts: one per language that I write in, or one per enthusiasm, or whatever works for me.
But Google+ forces me to publish only that subset of content which is interesting to almost all my followers. And that's very nearly the null set.
That's really interesting... I wouldn't object to starting a blog on the stranger points of financial valuation, but there is no way I would tie my real identity to it.
I want to be able to forget the stuff I do now, in the future.
