Finally, the first Google Plus Business Pages are online. Google published the following video earlier today:

I have also tried one. It works nicely but still needs lots of training and strategy for increasing fan…check mine https://plus.google.com/u/0/111486829001539046042
I still need to get off my butt and look into Google Plus Pages! This time of the year results in my falling behind in my RSS reading by so much and that’s hinders me from keeping up to date with all these new things.
Thank you for posting.
Hi Chris,
same counts for me. I think it is natural. There is so much information out there that it is hard to follow all the blogs, news sites etc. and extract the piece of information that could be important for oneself.
Great post! Hard to find local info on the subject of social networking.
Looking forward to the next post.
Cheers
Lauren
Thanks Lauren for your comment! That’s right, there is not much local information out there. That’s why I started this blog. I’m quite busy at the moment but I I have plans to write more about social media and online marketing in South Africa. So hopefuly there will be a new post soon
Great! I look forward to it
