Google + over Facebook

CEO Larry Page kicked off his recent earnings conference call and described not only the financial data but some other notable figures as well: the number of Google Plus users, how much they’re sharing.



10 million Google Plus users
1 billion items a day are being shared on Google Plus
+1 Button is being served 2.3 billion times a day
Does this look like something that might be huge for your real estate business? I’d say so!
Let’s check out a few plus “es” of the new Google + service and look at some plugins and such.
How is Google + better or easier to use than Facebook?
  1. Google plus comments can be edited. How many times have you posted something to your group on Facebook only to realize that you have made a nasty typo.  Then you have to make another Facebook post to “correct” the mistake.  With Google + you can just edit a comment that you have made.
  2. Easily organize your people into “circles” on Google plus.  You can do this as you add new people into your Google + circles.  Facebook has groups, but they are “clunky” to use and most realtors struggle to define where people need to be.  One of my favorite features is that you can put people into more that one circle.  Like I have people who are in my “Real Estate Tech” group, but they may also be friends and I can put them in both circles.
  3. No Farmville.  I hope they never integrate “games” on Google+.  I really got to the point where I had to block all the people who were farming and doing Mafia wars and the like.  (Sorry Tony, that’s you).
