Visit Google Takeout. It’s a service by Google where you can download "all" your data of any Google service.

Unfortunately the markup for Google+ (and Google Talk by extension) is fairly limited.
You're missing:
-item- for strikethrough
@name or +name to tag someone.
Drag and drop
Add photos, videos, or links to your posts by dragging them directly to the share box. To add a link, drag the icon next to the URL from the address bar to the share box.

I did some experimenting, although I didn't actually delete the photos (since I want to keep them). But I was able to select them all.
I'm using Chrome on Windows 7.
Open "Instant Upload" under your Google+ Photos
Hit the End key. Your browser window will scroll down to the bottom of what's currently displayed. Google+ will load up more photos. Hit End ...

This has been fixed recently. Go to your Circles, right click on the circle you want to throttle or mute, and select "Show stream from this circle". At the top of the stream you will notice a slider that lets you adjust how much you want to see from that stream, including all and nothing.

You can disable the notifications on your phone (at least on Android) but you cannot on the website. I found this Google Group post where a Google Community Manager actually replied with:
Hey Brian,
I can understand where you're coming from and will pass the feature
request along!
I usually ignore the notifications and sometimes appreciate the

I had the same problem as the OP: Google+ had uploaded 800MB of photos on my mobile without prompting me. Here is the solution I've found to delete whole album, which was not available in Google+ interface. Open https://picasaweb.google.com/home, there you'll see the instant upload photo album and the option to delete the whole album.

As of now, it is impossible to change your Google+ Custom URL. The Google support page says:
Once approved, this URL will be linked to your Google+ page or
Profile, so be sure everything is exactly the way you want it. Once
your URL has been approved, you can't request to change it. When
you're certain, click Confirm.

When you sign up for Google+, it automatically signs you up for Google Talk (chat) as well. (Google Talk will appear in your list of Google products.)
If you have enabled people in your circles to chat with you, and they have also enabled you to chat with them, Google+ automatically assigns you an XMPP user name like 2h3jpoe9s23xc4o3gjnuspkmrt@public.talk....

Em space works!
I've finally cracked this indentation issue in Google+. I use em space and Google+ doesn't simply remove/replace it. It stays there.
The only problem is how do you type it out? Its Unicode code is U+2003 but there's not any keyboard shortcut... How I used it is:
Open Character Map.
Change options to display By Unicode Block.
Select General ...

Yes, it is. Click on "What's Hot" in your left sidebar and a volume slider will appear in the upper right corner. Slide this all the way to the left, like this:
And no "What's Hot" posts will appear in your main stream anymore.

A solution that works is to:
Use the page information feature of your browser to examine the images on the Google Search page and locate your profile image. For Firefox this is right click -> page info -> media tab
The URL will be something like

Google+ doesn't stream the posts you have +1ed. So you can't retrieve that list.
To Google, that +1 tab is for everything you have found around web and recommended. Inside Google+, +1 for the posts are just a feature to show the post owner that you like that post. That's all.

Update: since May 2014 it is now possible to edit the date and time for individual photos on Google+.
By heading to the photo details pane in the lightbox, you'll notice
that the data next to "Date taken" is now clickable. When pressed, you
are greeted with a popup in which you can edit the date and time
stored in the photo's metadata.

In the contact for John Doe, you need to add a nickname John Doe. Then you will be able to type John Doe in the To field, and the contact will show as John Doe instead of Mary Jane.
In other words, the names seem to take the following precedence:
Nickname
Google+ name
Contact name
Stupid, I know, but at least it works.

When viewing a Google+ album, click on "shared X" and you will get a lightbox where you can either directly enter email addresses of those without G+ accounts. They will get emails to view the album. Or you can use a direct link.

According the Google chat help, no:
Blocking someone from within the Chat list or a Chat mole does not also block the person in Google+. So, although they won't be able to chat with you, they'll still be in your Circles and be able to see your content. However, if you block the person in Google+, in addition to being removed from your circles and extended ...

Back in November 2011 Google added the ability for you to chat with people in mutual circles, if they also allow it. In the Chat Privacy Settings you could change which circles this applies to, including none of them if you wish. This was announced in posts on Google+ at that time.
The next time you signed in to Google+ after that it also showed a pop-up ...

There's something I just found.
It's related to posting YouTube videos.
Let's say you are posting a video and you want to make attention at particular part of it.
Just write hours:minutes and Google Plus will automatically create direct link to the video frame.
"9:15 - blabla" will be linked to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=youvideoID#t=9m15s
And yes - ...

You can't stop people from adding you.
If you don't post public you have nothing to worry about, they will never see a thing. If you post public even people who have not added you to their circle will see the post if they visit your profile. Even people who have not joined Google+ will see it. Public really means anyone.
So either way you have nothing to ...

In Maps you can star places. That's how I would do it.
Just tab your current location and mark the place with a star.
When navigating back, you'll see the star on the map, or you can select it as a navigation destination
