 i'm sorry for this digging around, but i found some interesting sentence in the last post at the Google Official Blog - "Live from Google I/O: Mo’ screens, mo’ goodness" - just take your look to these few lines about the new design and it especially was created for us  :-))  
 or may be i'm just a a dilettante ?  and just love to work hard ? 
 
"Google+: We unveiled the newly designed Google+, which helps you easily explore content as well dramatically improve your online photo experience to give you crisp, beautiful photos—without the work!"

Don't settle for being an unpaid intern

We get a lot of requests at Universe Today from starting journalists, grad students and astronomers who'd like to "intern" with us. I've never worked in a traditional media company, so I'm a little unclear on the intern tradition. But from what people are proposing, I don't think it's necessary.

There are so many outlets out there where you can showcase your writing abilities. And the only way to get better at writing is to write. And write and write and write. Start up a blog at Wordpress or Blogger, or even here on Google+ and get reporting in areas that interest you.

There are now dozens of stories a day that we just don't have time or resources to cover, and you do. The more original, underreported story you can find, the more likely you'll go viral, since you're reporting news... more »

Google+ has long been touted as a ghost town because of its apparent lack of activity, and many overwhelmed marketers wonder "what's the point". As they try to justify creating yet another social media profile for their companies. Here's the point pros far outweigh the cons when it comes to establishing your business on Google+.

Chase Jarvis 60: Macklemore

http://bit.ly/124OUcy

I’m grateful to have so many friends in the Seattle community who influence and inspire me. Among them – Ben Haggerty.

Known to the world as Macklemore, Ben and his talented musical partner-in-crime Ryan Lewis have been on rocket-ship ride to hip hop stardom in the last 7 months. They have been touring non-stop and sold millions of downloads their #1 hit song Thriftshop from the incredible album The Heist. They have appeared on Jay Leno, Saturday Night Live, Letterman, Colbert Report and all the other major talk shows and venues along the way. It’s been fun to watch. We were fortunate enough to have them on our humble little show chasejarvisLIVE back in October of 2011. After the show I caught up with Ben for this portrait. Enjoy the moment.

Macklemore is a talented and a wonderful human being who reminds usall t... more »

Sourcing Free to Use Images

Morning all


You can imagine the amount of images a news site needs on a daily basis - purchasing images could lead to hefty £s / $s costs just in image acquisition alone ...!

So, since taking over +imassera one of the key things for me was being able to find images that are freely available to use and modify (even for commercial use). 

And of course this doesn't just affect news sites... but anyone using an image in a blog post or even a post here on G+.

So I thought I'd share how I source images using Google's Advanced Search - which you may or may not know existed:  

Use These Steps

1) Goto http://www.google.com/advanced_search
2) Enter a keyword that's associated with topic of the image you're looking for
3) Go to the last box at the bottom of the'... more »

Facebook has lost millions of users per month in its biggest markets - 6m US visitors and in the UK 1.4m fewer users checked in last month.

The declines are sustained. In the last six months, Facebook has lost nearly 9m monthly visitors in the US and 2m in the UK. Users are also switching off in Canada, Spain, France, Germany and Japan, where Facebook has some of its biggest followings

Get noticed on Google+ quick ...
This should give you a bit of a head start, if you are a "Goobie" (G+ newbie).

Many old hands here won't agree with this post. They will tell you, if you want to be successful here at #GooglePlus  you have to grow your follower ship organically (slowly). Write good content and people will notice you. And the old hands are right. They will notice you. Maybe in a years time or so and by then you'll have fallen into the #GhostTown  hole and given up. If I've created the illusion that I have the secret to instant G+ fame, I apologise, because I don't. Just like with all my How I ... posts ( #jghowi ) I can only tell you what I did, to get some interaction out of the platform straight away. Everything else builds up on that.
