Pimping G+ and Guy Kawasaki
If you've been thinking about using G+ or are finding your G+ experience a little, shall we say, "flat" then you might be interested in Guy Kawasaki's latest book, What the Plus!. It's a helpful little ebook with a lot of tips for improving the way you can use G+.
I got to be one of the beta testers for the ebook, about a month or so ago, and in addition to finding a couple of typos and places where clarification was needed, I got to implement some of the tips he gives. The implementation of those tips has greatly improved G+ for me, I'm in some very interesting (and some far too busy) circles with a lot of people I'd be interested in hanging out with IRL. The kind of people you end up sitting at the kitchen table with till the wee small hours, solving all the world's problems over rather more booze than is good for you. People who do all sorts of stuff and write about it intelligently, amusingly and with great pictures. (Which sometimes makes me wonder why they've added me to their circles, but they did.)
Guy's doing a live chat about the book, tonight at 9:30 pm EST on Twitter at the #MyBookClub hashtag. I don't do Twitter (I have more than enough social networks for someone who's essentially a hermit) so I won't be there.
So yea, if you want to get more out of G+, get Guy's book. It's dirt cheap and he's even got some free copies to give away.
