As you can imagine, we’re exploring Google+ and reading a lot of analysis about what its effects will be, for individuals and eventually for businesses.
Here’s my G+ profile if you’d like to follow along as I explore. I’ve shared a bunch of good “tips” posts that I’ve come across already over there. My very early first impression is that it’s an amazing place to have conversations – I’ve met a whole ton of interesting people I didn’t know before. I’ve laughed at tons of cat videos (of course) and been part of a huge online argument about whether it’s too early to be hawking G+ expertise. I’ve discussed G+ functionality to death like all of my fellow early adopters, but I’ve also come across some great completely unrelated stuff like this or like this.
So I’m percolating away. I’ll write something up for you soon, probably after #ASAE11, but in the meantime, chew on this great deck by the digital agency Publicis Modem UK.
Bonus: A really good list of the most useful analysis blog posts out there by Shel Holtz, and, below, the G+ theme. Yeah, baby.

You lost me at slide11. Google is not behind. YouTube, Feedburner and Reader are all social products — just because they don’t have the same media buzz about social as others doesn’t mean they don’t already have social products.
Hi Adam, thanks for commenting! The slides aren’t by me, just so you know – I thought they were interesting and stood out amid a lot of the same old same old out there. I think slide 11 is not that relevant to the rest of the deck, whether we agree with it or not; I do think Google has been perceived as less social even though you’re totally right that those elements are an integral part of social media’s short history.
