You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ‘Google Plus’ tag.
If you haven’t heard about the newest and hottest social network launched by Google, you most likely don’t use social media. Google+ was developed to rival Facebook and Twitter. It’s currently in field-testing mode which means you need to receive an invite and must be over 18 to be able to gain access plus you will need a Gmail account to login.
The most asked question is should you jump on the Google+
bandwagon?
If you like to be an early adapter and have plenty of spare time to play, by all means do so. But if you are looking for a social network that you can use for business with the intent to make money on, then I recommend not at this time. You need to decide if the time spent playing in a new site is worth it to you or if the investment of your time is more valuable spent focusing on income producing activity for your business.
Yes, I believe Google+ could be a game changer and I have set up my account to test it out, but despite its impressive growth (latest estimate shows Google+ at 18 million users); right now it does nothing too drastically different than Facebook. It offers excitement with the newness and a few enhanced features but it doesn’t allow businesses to set up brand pages at this time, and at the end of the day the cycle of posting a status update, commenting on friends posts and sharing links is the same on both.
What ever you decide, check out ‘Google+: The Complete Guide’ for more information. If you would like a Google+ invite, email me at clm@wcninteractive.com with ‘Google+ Invite Please’ in the subject line.
Make it a great social day!
