Google+ is now open for businesses. Just like in Facebook, you need to first create a personal page before being able to create a business page. Interaria’s new Google+ page is at: https://plus.google.com/114982616658864582275. So far it appears that Google+ does not offer business name based URLs. If you have any questions about how to get your company listed in Google+, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Christian Oestlien, a product manager at Google+ pledges in this video that Google is indeed planning to open its Google+ doors for businesses and brands later this year (2011). Oestlien is asking for patience by reminding that Google prefers that users hold off from using consumer profiles to get business identities in Google+. As outlined in our earlier overview about Google, Google+ will be acting as a mortar between various Google’s business services. For instance, Oestlien mentions that business owners will have the ability to connect Google+ identity to other Google products that businesses are using such as Google AdWords.
Google Vs. Facebook from Column Five on Vimeo.
Comparing social media giants with infographics is a growing trend. This video showcases the early steps of Google+. When comparing Google with Facebook, the video sometimes compares Google as a company to Facebook, and sometimes Google+ social media site to Facebook. While this can be confusing it is also a reality of competition over definitions: Google tries to build dominance with integrating and networking its Google family products and services to the Google+ experience. The difference between Google as a company with various products/services and Google+ as a networking site is not completely solid but up to an interpretation. Google may win the award for a biggest company while Facebook still holds an exclusive lead in the social networking numbers.
