4. The Advantages of Google+
By Alejandro Andrade, Janelle Rodriguez
➔
Google+ already has name recognition because "Google" is
everywhere including the new invention of Google TVs
➔
Google+ already has active users through all zof its other
interfaces where activating a membership is as easy as a click of a
button
➔
Google Maps allows for Google+ to be a huge business developing
pioneer for business owners, as it links business profiles to their
location
➔
Google+ is user friendly
➔
Google+ is easily personalized
➔
As similar as it is to other Social Networks, it's already established
itself from others as the capabilities of which to communicate are
far more connected than those of existing networks
5. Google +'s Shortcomings
By Alejandro Andrade
Google + has amassed millions of user whom most
are not "active."
This stunts the actual growth of Google+ itself
because although users are signing up, and are
familiarizing themselves with what the site has to
offer they aren't actively using the site and
therefore, Google+ can be considered a Ghost
Town.
One of the reasons why Google+ may be a Ghost
Town is because the site doesn't set itself far apart
from the rest of the Social Networking sites where
a user would favor it over Facebook, or Instagram
and therefore, people are prone to overlook it.

13. Why would Google+EDU work?
By Alejandro Andrade, Janelle Rodriguez
➔
Google+ EDU would be a perfect and first interface to
incorporate the Social Media capabilities with web
browsing/research, Videos, and learning.
➔
Rather than using "Blackboard" students could possibly
log into one network which connects them with fellow
students, teachers, and potentially, scholars, librarians,
and easily accessible credible information all in one.
➔
Students could then share their findings with the world.
➔
Thus, students would be more inclined to learn because
of the accessibility of all resources
➔
Students can also in turn, cultivate the necessary
relationships to continue to learn
