Since the release of Google Plus, a number of third party services and products have been released. Many of these services require users to enter their Google+ user ID numbers to allow the application(s) to access user information such as the user’s profile picture or number of followers.

The best example I have of one of these applications, is the Google+ widget displayed on the right side of my blog.

Accessing your Google Plus user ID is simple:

1. Log in to Google+.
2. Click on the “profile” tab to view your own profile.



3. If you look at the URL in the address bar, it should look something like this:

   https://plus.google.com/113551191017950459231/posts
   

4. The long numerical string in the URL is your Google+ ID. Here is mine from the URL above:

113551191017950459231

    Thanks for this! I couldn't believe that there were no instructions for this even on the Google+ widget page!

    I did find, however, that instead of my ID# showing up when on my profile it just had "me" instead. So I then performed a search for myself and copied the link which had the ID# in it.
