What is Google+Where does Google+ fit in (to our daily online/mobile routine)?Brand applicationGetting started
Launched on June 28, 2011, Google plus is a social platform that can be fully integrated into our every day online activities.Think about these questions: What is your email? Where do you search? Where do you read your RSS? What web browser do you use? Where do you watch most of your online videos? What types of ads do you use? If you use an online calendar, where is that calendar located? What online map service do you use? For billions of people worldwide, the answer to this question is Google, or a product of Google (e.g. YouTube). Then why not merge your online activities with your social network and consolidate all your needs into one platform. That is what Google+ does. Many services have already been incorporated into this revolutionary platform and new features are being added all the time.

In this day and age, we organize our contacts through online or mobile platforms, but often they are grouped together as one big lot. Google+ circles allows you to arrange your friends in a way that makes sense and share specific content with only the groups you want rather than instantly to everyone you know.
In the real world, sometimes you bump into friends on the street. With people spending more and more time online these days, Google has pulled this random meet-up concept into their Google+ platform with the hangout feature, which allows people to find each other online and have a quick chat or share a video with each other.
Google search is used for 34,000 searches per second (2 million per minute; 121 million per hour; 3 billion per day; 88 billion per month.) (source: http://www.slideshare.net/BhavinPatel15/googlethestudyofsearchology-110809202142phpapp01) With sparks, Google has turned this powerful tool into a customizable feature that allows you to access the latest news on topics of your choosing with just one click.

Google has made their Google+ platform a handle tool for mobile devices with their Huddle feature.

http://www.prfriend.com/how-to-use-google-plus-1-in-your-business/Encourage users to “+1” search listingsThe biggest advantage of the Google Plus One button is the unique way in which it can generate more traffic to a business’s presence on the World Wide Web based on recommendations made by every day people who have encountered some aspect of the business online. Rather than only having the information shared with an online user’s contacts for one particular social media network, such as in the case of the Facebook like button, Google Plus 1 shares the recommendation with anyone that types Google in their web browser in an attempt to conduct an online search. Simply put, it is the ultimate form of business referral that can reach a multitude of people – more people than within the reach of Facebook.The Google Plus 1 button can benefit your business in three distinct ways: through a Google search, presence on your actual business website, and if your business has opted to enroll in Google Ads.What Google is doing is adding the social element to online searching by enabling online users to recommend products and services. Because Google is the giant among Internet search engines, the Google Plus 1 feature can help businesses that take advantage of the feature. When users click on the Google Plus 1 button for your business, it is like receiving a seal of approval from the virtual world.
