Google+ Is Better Than You Think


How many people currently have a Google + page? In my circle of friends, hardly any. I know that a majority of people are not on Google +, however, the more I read about it and learn about it, the more I love it! There are so many unique features, ones that I cannot wait to learn how to use. Here are just a few of my favorite features:

1.       Direct Connect allows businesses to become easily searchable by just enter + [Page Name] into the search operator Google.com. Most people do not look past the first page of search results, so having another social media outlet that can be pulled in the Google search engine is a big plus.

2.       Topic Circles: Users can create a post about a certain topic and ask others to comment on it. From there you can create a circle around this topic with the users who expressed interest. This allows for people to have a more personalized experience and puts them in contact with others who share similar interests.

3.       Hangouts on Air: This is basically live streaming video. Up to ten people can participate in the chat and an unlimited amount of people can view it. Currently, only certain businesses can use this feature but it is definitely a great tool! I am sure that it will soon be available for everyone to use.

There are a lot more features that are pretty awesome on Google + so if you have time make sure and check it out! If you create a page, make sure and add me! That’s all for today’s post, short and sweet.
