My New Social Network . . .
One week ago I was pondering Google+, a new way of doing social networking, in the post, Book Promotion & Social Networking Frenzy ~ Pondering Google+.
A few hours after I published that post, my blogging-buddy, Lindsay Buroker, sent me an invite for Google+ :-)
I gave a couple introductory links about G+ in last week's post and I've been reading all the articles I can on what folks think and what it means in the Web's social landscape and how to do things inside it.
That last part generated the best news I can offer, being only a week old as a G+ user–it's not hard to get used to it :-)
All I had last week was a bad taste in my mouth from Facebook and Twitter and the hope that G+ would come through and create another dimension for my book promotion activities.
At the one week mark, I'm extremely satisfied with the Google+ experience and can see many ways to use it to broaden my connection with folks I already know and those I've wished I could know.
As far as finding people to follow, check out this G+ Directory; and do notice the links on the left side to narrow down your search…
I also found 40 Google Plus Tips for Newbies.
And, for all you Readers, Writers, and Publishers, there's literary/book people lists on Google+.
If you'd like to try Google+, I still have a few invites left to hand out–send me an email at amzolt@gmail.com and hope I still have one left for you :-)
G+ is still in what they're calling the "field test" stage but, heck, if it's as good as it is right now, I can imagine it can only get way better!!
And, if you want to check out a bit of the insides of Google+ before committing to try it, use this G+ Search tool…
Does Google+ intrigue you?
Are you going to try it??
Have you already gotten in???
