Google Plus is a Hit in my Book! Checkout these 14 Google+ Resources

I have been using Google Plus for a few days now and really like the direction of Google +. It is kinda a cross between Facebook and Twitter. Although many people have said that it is competing against Facebook, I think it will give Twitter more competition at the beginning. 

Although the Google Plus creators have said that the business edition will be coming out this fall, I think it will be out much earlier. The applications for being included in the business edition stopped yesterday.


Google Plus will be very beneficial for sales people whether you're a Business to Business or Business to Consumer salesperson. I look forward to the exciting changes that have been added the past week; as well as, the changes being planned for the near future.

Conclusion: Google Plus is a bold and dramatic attempt at social. The ability to view updates from specific groups started with Facebook but has been perfected with this Google project. That is right, project. Google calls Google Plus a “project” rather than a “product” because it is a work in progress — they don’t want users to think that they just released a final product. 

Overall, Google+ is solid and I really like its speed. It is NOT a Facebook killer or a game-changer, yet! I think Google learned a lesson with Google Wave and is releasing Google Plus like they did Gmail.

The winner of the Google, Facebook and Twitter war will be who can keep users coming back everyday for the months ahead. We know Facebook can do. Does Google have the project to do it? I think so. 

If you're just starting with Google Plus, start slow. You may have made some mistakes with Facebook and Twitter. This is your time to start new groups, interact with new people and create a social media plan that works for your business.
