I was curious how some new people had found and added me so I went searching for how I could find out. It turns out there is a shared circle database that you can search for your profile id.
As much time as I spend on Google+, I am amazed at the things I miss. If I'd been following +Public Circles I would have seen it. Thanks for the work on this project guys! It allowed me to go thank a couple people for including me. 🙂

Shared Circles with me
Take a look at the different shared circles with me. Found in the public circles database.

Hmm… I know I've been shared in some public circles, but nothing comes up when I enter my id.
+Tasha Schmidt Hm… I don't know how they add the databases; i.e., how timely. My initial thought was they were monitoring the streams somehow. I don't think it would work too well if they were strictly counting on user's to submit new shared circles. (???) Maybe +Public Circles can clear this one up! My brother +Keith Cramer had the same issue when he checked his ID.
yes, yes I did.
