How To Get Into Google+ (Plus)

Jul 7

Posted by

I am having a love affair with Google+

As you may or may not know I am a social media junkie, especially when it comes to Facebook.  It was my first love.  My website was derived from the movie. My next dog was going to be named Zuck.  However…everything has a season.  A month or so ago we were all threatened with the zombie apacolypse end of the world craziness and even though it never happened, something else is now taking over the world crushing everything in it’s path. It’s name is GOOGLE.

Google has always been a beast and I have been quoted often saying “Don’t try to tame the beast that is Google“.  Maybe that is why “they” let me in.  Yes, I am now part of the elite group of Google+ users checking things out before the rest of the world is brought in.  I have made many friends including MySpace Tom. Yes MySpace Tom…you remember Tom don’t you? Everyone’s first friend on MySpace!

Well, he actually talked to me on Google+ and added me to his “friends circle”.  Everyone is on Google+ it seems…Guy Kawasaki, Mari Smith, (Myspace) Tom Anderson, Scott Monty, Sergey Brin, and even THE Mark Zuckerberg.  You could say my ego is a bit boosted and I’m having fun with it while I can :)

So what is so great about Google+???

It’s like Facebook+Twitter+LinkedIn+Skype….and then some.  AND it’s only going to get better as they make improvements like bringing on the ability to have a business side like Facebook pages.  The good news is, Google+ will only make everyone else improve their sites.  If anyone was going to take on Facebook, it had to be “The Beast” itself, Google.

There is no real science to getting “in” Google+, I really wish I could help more.  You can get on a waiting list of sorts or you can be invited by a user.  If you want in just keep trying. That is my best advise.  An invite is great but ultimately Google decides when to let you in.

Good luck, have fun, and look me up when you get there!

    I must admit google plus really seems interesting. I watched a video of it yesterday on youtube and the guy did a great job of going through the different features.

    A lot of people seem to like it but they wonder if it will be able to overcome facebook.

    I hope it does good enough to just challenge facebook. Its not good for their to be only one real choice when it comes to social networking.

    Having google plus and facebook will only make it better for everybody else. One only has to look at bing and google and how they compete with the search engines to learn that we all benefit.

    I can’t wait for them to make it public, so we can sit back and see what happens.

    Well, I had a rough start with G+ over the last 3 days. But then not sure what happened this morning, everything seemed to just fall into place. So I’m integrating smoothly and spending more time with it (meaning less time with the other stuff). Still trying to decide if I like the Google + Twitter thing, but we’ll see.

    I’m putting you in a circle, btw.

    Sounds like you really like it, there’s been a lot of talk about it over the last week but I can’t quite get my head around how google is doing things differently. I might have to have a look on youtube for some examples. If there is any way someone can invite me I would be very appreciative! trekpenchant at gmail.com it would be great to have a first hand peek!

      After playing on the site for a week now, I have discovered many similarities and differences to Facebook and Twitter (blog coming soon)…I guess it depends on what you use it for, friends and family, networking, business. I love it and will be happy to share it with you, watch for your invite…tell them Chanda sent you and look me up when you get there! :)
