how-to: hide +1’s tab on your google plus profile

The ‘+1’ feature of Google+ is Google’s unique way of ‘liking‘ and consequently recommending topics or stories to people. Whenever you hit the button on virtually any stories around the web that you think others may find interest also, those stories will be pinned to a unique tab on your Google+ profile; the tab’s name is ‘+1’s.’

Whenever you hit the tab, you’re given the list of all the things that you have recommended, all arranged according to the time you did so.

I’m glad you’re here to learn how to do so.
