The entire digital world social network is changing dramatically whether people like it or not. Sooner or later our friends,competitors and peers will be using Google Plus. It is only a matter of time. The only choice that remains is if they are going to be ahead of their competitors or scrambling to catch up after everyone else has established their foothold.
It does not matter if you are a big business or a single individual. Anyone can position themselves to have a huge following of loyal contacts even if you are starting from scratch. Even if you have no product or service to sell. The way the world is going to transform in the next several years will be such that Google will be inter-twined in every aspect of our lives both personal and business alike.
Doom-sayers may cry out against this but in truth it is a good thing. If the entire world is going to be connected like thisanyway then it might as well be done by who can do it the best. The way the + sign works by popping up the name of everyone is amazing. Just that one aspect alone has made such a difference for me.
Lastly I want to publicly thank +Chris Lang again for the ebook he spent all week putting together. It really lays out why people should be on G+ and it has given me the inspiration I needed as it mirrors exactly what I have been thinking.

Hung Up On the Details?
Does anyone else get Hung Up On the Details?
In the past I was posting at several different blogs until I ran into a dillema. The more ideas I came across, the more confused I started to get.
I started seeing conflicts between by topical interests. I would think to myself “should I post to this blog or that blog?”. Before too long I got burned out with information overload and ended up creating nothing for a while!
I kept reading all over that you need a tightly focused niche topic for a blog to be successful. If you want a lot of traffic from the search engines it is important to keep your topics to a narrow range. Well I tried that by diversifying across multiple websites and months later I still found that competing for search engine traffic was just too time confusing. When you care too much about SEO your content starts to suffer.
The problem with having a lot of websites is that you end up wasting too much time jumping around from place to place. Then, when you try to keep your topics tightly focused you just limit yourself and your creative abilities. So I finally made a choice. I choose to not care about search engine optimization more than I care about creating the actual content.
Google Plus works fairly good as a blogging tool, well kinda. It lacks the html editor only found on the Profile/about page but I am warming up to doing more article posting here instead of on a blog.
