GooglePlus

Google+ or GooglePlus however its written is a business directory that no business can afford not to be utilising.

Example - Mortons Solicitors

Alot of businesses have branded facebook pages and those same companies will want to do the same with GooglePlus.  It allows you to submit your website, address and contact details to be viewed by the potential millions of new GPlus Users.

In normal circumstances I'm usually averse to social networks but this isn't about me, this is about giving the company a web presence. Although in the context of the above example it does seem a little unlikely that solicitors would be wanting to befriend their criminal clients. It would be too easy for one for other firms to try to poach, and the police would likely be keeping tabs to see relationships and use it as a source of intelligence.

I haven't got around to actually doing much with in at them moment other than getting it up and some initial posts made, but my hope it to be adding daily or weekly updates on things criminal and cases in the news.

Functionality wise this is early days for GPlus. I'm sure it will usurp facebook down the line with the new facebookkiller app.  What that will be I don't know.

Design wise its fairly good as with any google product you use. So I'm giving it a 6/10.  Its much to do, but not about nothing!
