It&#8217;s not Twitter either.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, what do we mean by that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google Plus isn&#8217;t just Facebook or Twitter&#8217;s \u201ccompetition\u201d,<\/strong>\u00a0nor was it created so that Google wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;fall behind&#8221;. And it&#8217;s by no means trying to replace\u00a0<em>either<\/em>\u00a0of these social networks. G+ is a completely different (and awesome) experience.\u00a0<em><strong>It&#8217;s part of a bigger plan launched by Google, in order to evolve the way we relate to one another, how we communicate with the world<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and with our OWN personal world. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s SO exciting to have the chance to participate and do something about it before it&#8217;s all over and stops being news.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Google Plus and the\u00a0\u201cghost town\u201d\u00a0myth.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0Many of you out there probably already have a G+ profile, but when surfing through it you get the feeling that \u201cnothing&#8217;s happening\u201d or that \u201cno one you know is there\u201d. This feeling makes sense because\u00a0<em>Google Plus wasn&#8217;t created specifically so you can \u201cspy\u201d on and find out about the life of your long-lost love or look at pictures of your high school classmates or take a look at how your niece&#8217;s birthday party turned out.

This helps<strong>\u00a0you widen and build a new network of contacts<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>G+ also allows you to bring your brand closer to your followers and prospective customers<\/strong>\u00a0in a new unique way, much different than other social networks do.<em>\u00a0There are already 500 millions people on it and it&#8217;s only up to you to connect with them and all the others behind Google.
