Like many of us who have had our hands on Google+ for the last few weeks - I have begun to wonder how I could take some of the brands I am working on and extend their function and audience to the now 10MM People on Google +.
In about a week, Google+ will gratify a few hundred brands by launching their test brands pages. Brands like Ford will be the first of thousands to have a shot at advertising via Google+. Although the set-up shares striking similarity to Facebook brand groups, Google+ is nothing to snuff at. These pages are open doors to a fresh consumer circle and a new social media marketing target.
Keep an eye open
It will be interesting to see how brands make their debut on Google+. Be sure to pencil in some time to look around and learn from the first-comers. Take a look at this concept for a Starbucks page done by Sean Percival.
Are you working on a brand's Google+ page? If so what are you doing? Why Google+ instead of FB?

Happy to help
This is such a great resource, it really helps many people in future.. Thanks for sharing this..
I am not sure it was a matter of catching up – but one more service they could offer that is in the cloud. I think Google+ is different in that while it has social implications, I think it will become the first mass offering that will be able to use cloud services in a way that no one else does. I mean really… who needs another annoying social network?
I do have to say that I am loving circles.
It is about time they caught up to the times 🙂
