Not on Google+ or Not Sure?

By all appearances, Google+ lost steam after the mad rush to join the new social network in 2011. Many felt there wasnât a following that could stand up to the likes of Facebook and followers of Twitter.

Google has made leaps and bounds in encouraging users to interact and engage with other users on Google+ by creating a passport system via Gmail, YouTube, or any other Google affiliated account. If you have any of these accounts, then youâre more than likely already on Google+ and itâs incredibly easy to start connecting with a fairly untapped audience thatâs ripe for the picking.

Easily organize followers, people you follow, friends, family, and peers via circles
Explore recommended and trending topics to keep a pulse on the Google+ community and the world at large
Huge real estate is given to your posts in the Home feed (e.g., videos, photos, and even GIF files)

Contribute or browse local reviews and whatâs happening in your community
Get in touch with your audience and circles with Hangout (will live broadcasting to your audience be the next stage of video?!)
