I gave a talk on Friday 16^th march 2012 on this very subject and below is pretty much what I spoke about, give or take, so I hope you enjoy it and take something from it.

The talk started off with how social media can impact on your business and that if you aren’t using it in some way then you are really missing out. The way that businesses us social media can really determine how success can be measured. I always advocate the following if you are a new business:

Google+ and why I am hooked?

Well after a few days of using Google+ I have to say I am hooked. Not only is it a great platform, no games or farms is great for me as they are just noise.

But some of the things I really like are:

• Being able to send messages to different groups or circles as Google calls them. This means you can target the right message to the right person or company, I can see this having an impact on email broadcast
• Being able to add people to these circles just by dragging them in
• The ability to create circles really quickly and then move on
• Searching for people with profiles is also a synch and then adding them to one or more circle
• The really uncluttered look and feel of the platform is great and let’s hope it stays that way
•   The app for my android phone is just amazing and the ‘nearby’ function is great to find and hook up with people in your locale
• For us oldies it’s like Facebook for grown-ups, which I love
• For business it’s like a cross between LinkedIn and Facebook again which I really like
