Episode #29 Google Plus 07/14/11

Keir Whitaker, Ryan Carson and  Michael Coos chat about the recent launch of Google Plus.

Apparently Google Plus a new Social Network  is giving Facebook some competition.  The + one button is integrated like the like button for Facebook, however Google uses the information to evaluate page rank.
Per the speakers, Google Plus will be also integrating Gmail with the new social network in the future.

Friends are Circles on Google Plus and can be sorted in special groups.

 

Google Plus offers Stream – to share information to those in your circle, also has a place called Hangout were you can video hang out with those in your circle.  Also offers a variety of apps, Calendar, media sharing and much more.

One of the biggest differences is that Facebook is driven by a large group of people that do not give a hoot about SEO and therefore to get them to convert to a Google Plus is not likely to happen.
