“Brimming with tips for optimizing the Google+ experience, the author explains how to get started, find people, search by interests, manage circles (segmented relationships with family, colleagues, etc.) and streams (the flow of posts that you see), and hang out in groups for classes, press conferences, and other purposes.”

I have had a Google+ account for some time, but really hadn't done much with it - until I read this book. There is so much to it that it's really pretty tough to wrap your arms around without a 'guided tour'. Guy Kawasaki simplifies and explains in detail the best ways to get the most out of your Google+ account. He also shows how Google is wrapping all of its products into Plus. I use social media for personal and business purposes. After reading this book, I started implementing some of the suggestions and was amazed that I was getting more responses via Google+ than by facebook for my business - and with a smaller number of contacts, too! Will it overtake or even dominate other forms of social media? I don't know, but I do know that you shouldn't ignore Google+ and this is THE book on the topic as of right now. The ebook is very, very affordable and worth every penny.
