Posse Social Media - Google+ was the outsider from the start on the social media battle, but while everyone gambled on its failure, Google managed to turn things around and make it an interesting network to use. Here are 8 reasons why we like using Google+ by Tereza Litza

1. It’s fresh, simple and
functional. The new
layout made it even better,
more organized, while the
bigger images remind us of
Pinterest.

It’s very useful for authors
and bloggers
and indexing of
content has never been
easier. After all, you will
enrich the Google search
of your name!

Google
Communities have been
expanded and many
users find the right one
for their profession, or
their hobby. It seems that
users did find a reason to
stay for a while on
Google+.

Google Hangouts is
probably one of the main
reasons that Google+ has
become popular. It is the
easiest way to have a
group call with your
coworkers, your friends, or
even broadcast live to a
large audience.

The Local feature is like
having a Foursquare inside
Google+, which is great if
you want to show to your
friends your favorite spots
in town. Time for
businesses to turn to
Google+ then!

Images have never been better. Now
that they are larger and more appealing
they make you want to focus more on
visual content. Even if your picture
doesn’t look good, don’t worry. Google+
has automatic correction and filtering,
which we wish it existed on Facebook,
too.

Its mobile version has
also been updated and I
must confess that I was
positively surprised
when I checked it.
Images and links are
larger, the app runs
smoothly and everything
is neat and simple.

The improvement of
the hashtags was also very
important, since Google+ can indeed
be a great source of content. The
ability to search for hashtags through
your post and find relevant content is
very useful and there’s even
automatic “hashtaging” if you didn’t
create the appropriate tags.

11. TO SUM IT UP!
I believe that Google really found some
gaps to fill in social networking, both at
personal and professional level, and they
should be praised for their persistence to
turn Google+ into a competitive network.
We can’t say that it’s still a big threat for
Facebook and Twitter, but at least it’s on the
right track!
