Why I love Google Plus over Facebook & Twitter
I have received a lot of flack from my friends on Facebook for being so excited about my experience on Google Plus so I need to tell you why you will be as excited as I am right now in the very near future.
1. I was a My Space clinger! I loved My Space and when my friends started leaving for Facebook I was a hater, a resister, and very short sited. Basically I just was lazy to adopt a better form of social media for ME. This is exactly what's happening now with the resistance to move from Facebook to Google Plus. I learned my lesson from my own resistance to move from My Space to Facebook and vowed I would NEVER be left behind again! I will lead the charge next time. Well here we are!!
2. Google Plus is better FLAT OUT! It's clean, spam free, I can hangout with 10 people via video chat at once on some amazing technology. I can filter not only my posting to certain CIRCLES of friends, I can filter the incoming postings by the CIRCLES I have set up on my own. I can make as many circles as I want to, I can name them Inner Circle, Work People, Barely Know, Acquaintances, Haters, Spammers, Party Bros, whatever I want to name them. I can do none of this on Facebook or Twitter, EVERYONE sees EVERY post I do and I see everyone of theirs. This circle/ privacy feature alone should give anyone a fantastic reason to make the move.
3. The Social Hangouts. All I can say is WOW! I personally spent over an hour with Michael Dell in MY hangout. He met my son, we talked business and Texas Longhorns. Where else could I've of done this? I have now taken his idea of a live Google Hangout as a CSR website conversion tool and put it into action with amazing results. I have also hung out for hours with the top executives/engineers of Google, CEOs of major companies, and investors looking for the next big thing.
4. My interaction on Google Plus is now more than on FB or Twitter. I have amassed over +1400 relevant business contacts in just 7 weeks of logging in for the first time. I get more likes (+1's on G+) and comments there than any other form of Social Media I use.
5. The business ramifications. All your PUBLIC postings are are entered into the Google search engine. No other form of social media does that. Each +1 a public post gets increases the search engine ranking. The hangouts for business use are mind blowing. You can't Skype 10 people at once via video chat. Plus Google Hangouts don't use as much of your system as Skype does. So a much smoother experience. I can't count how many times Skype has locked up my PC.
True you go over set up a Google plus account today and it will seem very lonely. My advice just interact, your social world will change forever. The easiest way to start is just circle the people in my circles. Then boom your off! Don't be like I was 4 years ago, "Don't tell me to leave MY Space for Facebook! You don't know what your talking bout!" Man did I look stupid! Never again! You can find me at GPlus.to/MichaelNast Circle me today! Let's Hang Out sometime soon! You'll be glad you did!
