| Reply : 6 Jul 2012 We recently created a Google+ page for a client and linked it to their Facebook Page. More small businesses are becoming aware of the need to embrace social media so I imagine we will receive more requests of this nature. All the best Cameron |

| Reply : 10 Jul 2012 We use google apps so its nice to see everything we work with building a nice little social network for us to use. I try to post on there at least once a day, never anything personal, usually stories ive found on the internet revolving around what we do as a business, if you have accounts please feel free to send me youe details :) |

| Reply : 10 Jul 2012 Firstly, it's clean and easy to use. I can get on with it, it doesn't feel alien, and it just feels like a quality web application which in turn makes using it all the more pleasurable! Further to this, there is a lot less rubbish on there than there is on Facebook! I'm not bombarded with "Joe Bloggs just read an article on The Guardian" or "Joanne Bloggs has just scored 1,000 points on FarmVille!". I get the information I want which is usually interesting stuff. And the clincher is that, for business, it is the best tool to use to get a business across on the internet. I won't go in to the why's and how's, but it just is. If you have a business profile on there, get people adding it! The one problem I have is that not enough of the people I know are on there. Probably because it isn't Facebook and the "celebrities" off TOWIE or The Kardashians aren't on there. I shouldn't complain, I'd rather see nice posts regarding witty Einstien quotes than some clown off one of those God awful shows saying something generally uninteresting and/or thick.

| Reply : 17 Jul 2012 I've been in the IT support business almost 20 years and I've never managed to get it clear in my own mind how I would use social media from a business point of view. I've never felt it sat well with a target market of SMEs. However, this year I've started to address the needs of the home user, and I can see I potential use for it there, but, based on my limited experience of Facebook and Twitter, I'm finding it difficult to get away from the idea of it being some monster that eats away at my precious time. I stopped using those two sites almost as soon as I signed up to them. I fear Google+ may end up being the same thing, which is why I've left it alone. If current users are saying it could be used as an excelent business tool, then perhaps I should look at it again. I'd certainly be interested of hearing other user's experiences, both pros and cons. |
