First, log in to Springpadit.com and find your custom email-in address. You’ll find it under Settings/Services, listed as your personal email address. Copy this email address.
Then, open Google+ and go to your Circles.
Drag your mouse over the new blank circle at the top of the list, then click to create a new circle called “Save to Springpad” (or something else similar).
Click “Add a new person” and paste in the email address you found in the first step. You’ll need to give it a name (like “Personal Springpad Email”) to save it.

Share the things you save to Springpad
“What’s the address of the tailor you use? Can you send me that salad recipe you always make? Do you have a suggestion for a good date-night restaurant?”
