EVEN AFTER YESTERDAY'S KEYNOTES, THE MEDIA STILL DOESN'T GET IT.
Google+ is not a social network.

If you watched yesterday's keynotes from Google I/O you're probably as amazed as I am at all the new features Google added to ALL its products and how well they're integrated with Google+.

I can count the ways Google is about to change our daily lives (in a positive way) with each of its updates (From Google Now, to Wallet, to Hangouts, to Maps...) so why does the media continues to compare it to Facebook??

+TIME just released an article calling Google+ "the most attractive and engaging web apps" (really, so it's a web app now?!?) and finishing with - 

My friends, family and acquaintances are all on Facebook, where they add up to a bustling community I enjoy being part of.  More than any particular featureth... more »

Mention Influencers on Pinterest

Pinterest has released a major update to their apps today, one that might easily be underestimated. It didn't even warrant a new version number, as it's just version 2.4 on iPhones, and the key new feature isn't even the first one listed on Pinterest's blog post:

Mentions

We're used to being able to mention other people on Twitter, Facebook and Google+, and LinkedIn added a pale, diminished version of mentionability a short while ago.

Being able to mention friends in posts is cool and fun and brings a new level of engagement to the app. Being able to mention influencers on brand pins is taking Pinterest to a whole new level.

Smart marketers are learning how to leverage mentions on the major platforms so that when new content is shared, key influencers are notified and encouraged to share... more »

What should we expect in the next few months in terms of SEO for Google? By +Matt Cutts 

My recap of the video:

What you should be working on as a small business owner?

Try to make sure you make a great site that users love, that they want to tell their friends about, bookmark, come back to, and visit over and over again.  All the things that make a site compelling.

ok, so business as usual for the business owner


What should we expect from Google in the next few months?

TEACHING WITH GLASS.
Using Google+ Hangouts with Glass

Education will never be the same again. Not when Hangouts become a common way to learn new concepts directly from experts in the field (unlike the academia of today), and not when Glass is used as a way for the teacher to see through the student's eye.

Oh, what a future we're heading towards... :)

#Virgin  .... :-)

More amazing jobs waiting to be snapped up from around the Virgin Group...


#RichardBranson   #TonyFernandes   #Betting   +Richard Branson 


Virgin boss Richard Branson has acted upon the bet he placed with Tony Fernandes three years ago, with the British entrepreneur acting as a stewardess and attending to guests' needs on a flight organised by AirAsia, the airline of the Caterham owner.

Back in 2010, Branson and Fernandes placed a bet as to whose team would finish higher in the Constructors' championship. Lotus, now known as Caterham, ended the year tenth, while Virgin Racing, now named Marussia, could only manage 12th.

With the losing team owner having to act as a stewardess, plans for the flight were quickly made. The trip was delayed when Branson suffered a skiing accident, but he held true to hisword... more »

LOCAL BUSINESS PAY ATTENTION TO GOOGLE MAPS
Reviews are now more important than ever.

New Google Maps interface leaks ahead of Google I/O conference.

If this move doesn't demonstrate that Google+ is not another social networking site and that it should no longer be compared to Facebook or Twitter, I don’t know what else to say.

How to Create A Permanent Link for Your Hangouts-On-Air

+ReelSEO Video Marketing shares a great tip here, but I have to disagree.

Having people watch your HOA on YouTube is a sure recipe for losing them 20-30 min. into it. YouTube is too disruptive. 
I prefer hosting the hangouts on my site - www.gplusgotogal.com/live where they can stick around, comment, AND - see my CTA :)

BTW, The link ReelSEO refers you to is http://www.youtube.com/user/USERNAME/live
Replace USERNAME with the name of your channel.
