G'day, I notice a lot of people are putting asking questions and wanting to know how the Google+ and Google Plus tools work. First you need to make sure that you are talking about the right Product as they are different! Google+ is the social platform that google has launched in the recent past. It is the place that we compare to Facebook but it is very different and much friendlier to use I find. Google PLUS is the Little +1 button that you see around the place Now. It has been hinted at by google they use this +1 data in their algorithm but as usual try getting that confirmed!!!! I just wanted to make sure that people realise that google+ and Google Plus are actually 2 different things. One is a social media site, the other is Google's next attempt at making search relevant by assessing social proof. Hope that makes sense Oda
Lol!! Nice to clarify. Although I think Google did a pretty stupid thing in launching two brands + and PLUS. But then again, whatever Google does, makes the whole world go crazy about it.. atleast some
I think you are too confused. Google+(google plus) the social network, and +1(plus one) the 'like' button.
I don't see them as separate at all. That's would be the same as saying Facebook "like" is a completely separate section of Facebook. The +1 is for Google+ as the "like" is for Facebook.
Wow, I'm glad you cleared that up!! I was confused and didn't realize it. I think. Mind you, I'm somewhat familiar with Google's new +1 button thingy. It's confusing. Makes me think the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing. One department should have probably made the other change their product's name. Because I don't think they're marketing these two products together. So it's not really like Facebook & its "Like" button. Hmmm...
Thanks for the information.I had no idea about google plus, I have used google + but never herd about the social site. This is a really good post thanks
