Being a web consultant, I’m constantly coaching my clients on the effectiveness of using social media. The common (frustrated?) response is how do I make time to use all these social media sites?!?!?
Just when you thought it was safe…..
Just when you thought you finally figured out Facebook; just when you thought you’ve almost figured out Twitter; just when you thought you were really making progress… here comes one more…
Google+
I’ve just been playing around with this for a couple of days, but in my mind Google has done it again. They’ve created another awesome (FREE!) online service. To me (and many others, from what I hear) Google adds the best features from other social media platforms.
Why do I like it So Much?
- Easy to follow others without having to make a mutual connection (great for stalkers)
- Does an awesome job displaying photos and videos
- Allows you to group your contacts into circles (categories)
There are other things that I really like about it, but that last point I listed is probably one of my favorite things about using Google+. For me I can use this feature to easily just check in on the photographers I’m connected to. Or, maybe I just want to post a message for my web clients to read, but my other contacts wouldn’t really need (or want) to see.
As with many things, social media is subjective. Some people gravitate more to Twitter. Others prefer Facebook. Others, YouTube…. Give Google+ a test drive and see what you think
