I noticed that lately I've been receiving quite a few invitations to join Google +. I am curious to see how many of you are using it and liking it. Or not liking it. Please share you opinion and experience. Smile

I use it, and like it, but it is not super useful for me yet. I would suggest giving it a shot. Nothing to lose.

I use it and I like it quite a bit. It is really quite in there tough. Most people are reluctant to move over from Facebook.

It's good to get +1 on your site though so at least open the account for that.

I definitely use it. It seems to be more open for sharing links and just general stuff you find that is interesting while FB is more personal.

 

G+ is very important for indexing links as well. You should install the plus 1 for each post and your homepage.

I use it.  Started a page for TCI, but I don't use it actively.  I have a note to myself to get more active there.

I have it setup on my site. My blog account got suspended for not using a personal name, though.

I agree with this and it's pretty much the only reason why I use it. I hardly ever go into the site itself, but I have an account and a "+1" button on my site simply because Google is the superpower and I want to stay on their good side. :)

I like G+ so far. I find it much easier to navigate than Facebook and you can have much better conversations than you can on Twitter.

I lot of great stuff on there now too but not a whole lot of personal finance.

I'm currently using it on Everything Finance but haven't got around to interacting with it much. Might be a good New Year's Resolution for me Laugh

I use it as well..well I should say I have it for my blog, but actually not utilizing it very much.  I think it needs to gain in popularity before it becomes useful.

I started to use it a couple weeks ago.  My traffic increased, but I cannot attribute the increase to Google +.

I like it's potential… The biggest benefit I see is this….

 

If you do a G search now it tells you which of your friends are g+'ing certain sites. I THINK this is or is going to affect personal search results. If you get a large network of +1's then your site may appear higher in their google searches and maybe even their friends searches…. It could potentially be manipulated of course but real people still need to click so it's pretty cool.

I have an account for Money Talks but I don't use it much.  I mostly set it up in case it does become the "IN" thing I will have some followers already.  I should at least set up my links to post automatically over there.  Is there a plug in for that?
