Ever since Google+came out, I’ve Been finding new uses for it. The most useful one for me is the personal assistant that I’ve created to help me keep track of random data. Ones that I come up with while surfing the web, driving my car, waiting in line at the bank, etc.Now one of the most useful things I’m doing with it is, I’m using Google+ as a private bug tracker, list keeper.

Of course I use a system for official tracking of the bugs and system features called Jira, but I’m talking about a quick and dirty, reach from anywhere (even with my Android app) system that I’ve created in 10 seconds to help me and the two other developers in the team.

The skinny:

1. – Just created a new circle and called it “Beetle”
2. – Added the 2 developers on my team and dragged them in this circle
3. – That’s it!

Now when I or the the other two circle-mates come across a bug, a feature or a good idea for the site, we just open Google+ and select the “Beetle” ring, and type the comment. G+ app on my Android and put it in, select my own circle, and like a personal assistant, it keeps track of it for me.

Oh, yeah I forgot, it’s all free!
