The Women of Google+
The latest numbers are out and with Google+ operating in beta for almost 3 weeks now and reaching almost 10 million users, the big story is there are not as many women on G+ as men. Mashable.com previously reported there were only 10% women but now it is said to be about 1/3 of the users are women. An increase, yes.
What does all this mean? Guys are bigger geeks than girls.
In all seriousness, there are some amazing and powerful women on Google+ and if you are someone like me ( a social networking geek), you will be thrilled with the potential opportunity to be associated with such great women on Google+. Lynette Young, blogger, podcaster, and fellow social media geek, started the WomenofGPlus website and is promoting, inspiring, and learning from the female early adopters of G+. She encourages women to submit guest blog posts and to connect with others on G+.
I thought this was pretty smart and foward thinking. I know I have connected with some amazing, smart, like minded women on G+ and have started a WomenofGPlus circle of my own.
Thanks Lynette!

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!
