Chances are you’re one of the 750 million or so users of
Facebook, or maybe you’ve tried Twitter or another
social network. Google has responded to the lively interest
in social networking with one of its own called Google+ (also
known as “Google Plus” or even just “g+”), and Google+ is
quickly becoming a serious alternative for those looking for a
new environment to play in.
At an estimated 30 million or so users in just one month,
Google+ is clearly a force to be reckoned with. Google has
figured out a way to integrate the network with all of its major
products, which becomes evident the minute you sign up for
the service!
Why the “plus,” you might ask? Rumor has it, Google needed
a place to bring all of its apps into one place, making every
piece of Google part of a social experience. Now, instead of
just a bunch of web apps, Google is becoming one large social
network — Google+ ties everything together right at the heart
of Google. This spirit of cohesion between all things Google
will become even more evident as Google+ grows, I’m quite
sure, and my hope is that this book will make the transition
easy so that you can enjoy this network as much as I do. |
