Written by Aaron Charlie – 06.07.11

The web is alight with Google+ fever at the moment, and it seems that Google might have come up with a Social Networking concept that will truly challenge Facebook.

Like everyone else we’ve been getting to grips with how to get the best out of our profiles.

We’ve also devised a natty method for customising your Google+ profile design using tiled images.

And what’s more we’ve put together a Photoshop Template to make it easy to implement for anyone who knows a bit of Photoshop (for those that don’t – we run a great 2-day Photoshop course here in Brighton!)

We’re sure you can all come up with some brilliant and creative ways of using the method to customize Google+ profiles that really stand out – we’d love to see the results – so if you use our template please post a link to your profile in the comments section so we can check out your work.

P.S No idea if you have tried this, but G+ also works great as a private bookmarking tool. Just create and empty circle with no-one in it and share your book marks with that circle. Then just refer to the clickstream for that circle to get all of your bookmarks.
