Getting your head round G+

It is similar to comments I have heard from a lot of people. They may have heard about Google+, but don’t really know what it is or what to do with it. That is mainly down to two reasons. 1. When it was first launched, Google hailed it as the ‘social spine’ of Google. Not many people understood what that meant. 2. Google+ has changed a lot since it was launched, which means a lot of preconceptions about what it was or is are simply wrong.

Let’s start with the basics. Google+ is a social network, like Facebook or Twitter. When you sign up for a G+ (as it is affectionately known) account, you can follow people and brands and create your own posts too.
