I’ve already written a few things about Google+ . To me the interface still needs improvement. But it also seems like its growth is unstoppable. Why? Because like the search bar, at the top of your browser, it’s there all the time. Whenever I want to access any of my other Google apps, like analytics, I seem to have to go through Google+. I could list all the ways, it keeps popping up like some kind of cartoon gopher, but if you are a “Pluser”, you already know what I mean. These may be the confessions of a resistant convert however, because if I was Facebook, I would be scared. People are gaining rank and influence by using Plus and you can’t turn that train around. Until something better comes along, it is the horse to bet on. For more check out this Web Pro News video.

Now that Google + is on the scene, have you tried it. I’ve read a lot of positive predictions, have not seen the predicted migration. Google may be holding the trump card because of the power if search, but the plus interface has got to change. At least when Facebook makes a change you can figure it out. Aside from the fact that it’s easy to share on plus all the other functions are clumsy. And compared to Twitter, they have a very long way to go. Although most of my friends in the advertising and marketing business are on Facebook, very few are even trying plus.

TRY IT

In case you want to try it, here is a link to one of the better tutorials, I’ve found. Give it some time. I think there is a good chance it will improve. To make a difference, however, a lot of people need to jump on and wrestle with this interface. If you are one of the people that really like it, let me know. I want to know your secrets.
