How to Make the Switch to Google+

How to Make the Switch to Google+ -

Google+ is slowly becoming the new go-to social network. So much so, that you might be feeling left out of the scene because you just have no idea what's going on or what to actually use Google+ for. We put together a helpful little primer to get you started on Google's new social network, to get you all "plus one" in no time!

Why Google+?

Obviously, if you are comfortable with your current social network, you should stick with it, but if you’re looking to branch out, then Google+ is a great place to do that.  The new social network from Google has plenty of features to entice anyone who's apart of the ecosystem and utilizes Gmail, Docs and Google's other services on a frequent basis. Google+ also has a nifty feature that lets you "hang out" on a video chat with several friends at once.

However, no amount of features can make a social network worth joining. You’ll want to see how many of your friends are on the social network first to see if it’s worth your time to join. Without any friends, the features are useless. But if you really need some friends, you could always invite yours with the helpful link on the right-hand side.
