Social Media Day Wrap Up

Google+ Dabbling

If you haven’t heard about Google+ (or G+) yet, then you may not live in social media “shiny object land.” That’s okay. Enough of us have been dabbling in the G+ field for awhile now that we can bring you up to speed. Here is our personal take on what Google+ is all about, and why it matters to the average user. (Remember, if you have a social media manager already, then they should be on top of this for you!) In our humble opinion, Google+ is like a hybrid of LinkedIn meets Facebook meets YouTube.
