The Continued Mediocrity of Google+

Google may be the mother of all search engines, but when it comes to social skills, the company is still sorely lacking. If success in the social network stratosphere is measured by page views, time spent, and overall activity, Google+ can't hold a candle to Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest.

But while traditional metrics may not currently be kind to Google's two-year-old social offering, there just might be a silver lining.

Strategic Advertising Solutions for Your Products/Services!



With over 500 million profiles, there's no shortage of sign-ups and data; just frequency and overall time spent. Smart businesses, however, see Google+ not as a social mecca, but a SEO must-have. Since data on the social network is directly tied into Google's uber-popular search engine, there's plenty of big reasons every business should have at least a modest presence. But what will the future bring for Google+? Will it turn Facebook into the next MySpace, or will the SEO boon be its only true touted success?

The Cracks in the Armor
While it's fair to say the Google+ rollout has been slow and steady, two years is a long time to operate a massive social network without seeing any substantial successes. Signs that things are not as rosy as they could be lie in the staleness of content across the network. A look through the Google+ pages for major US brands shows a veritable graveyard of content. As an example, this last Cinco de Mayo, pizza giant Dominos launched a full scale marketing event on its Facebook page, complete with guacamole-themed pizza. A quick peek at their Google+ page showed content that hadn't been updated since October of 2012. You could almost hear the crickets chirping.

Be Mindful of the Law When Blogging for Business

By Jennifer M. Schank (c) 2013

More and more businesses today are discovering the benefits of blogging. Blogs can help position businesses and professionals as industry leaders, build relationships with clients and customers, provide a major boost to search engine rankings and attract new, quality traffic to websites. In many ways, blogging has turned average people into citizen journalists, disbursing story-telling channels beyond traditional media and delivering them directly into the hands of the masses. Therein lies the risk. Many companies today - and the writers who blog…

Court Advisor Sides With Google in 'Right to be Forgotten' Case

By Jennifer Cowan (c) 2013

Google is under no requirement to delete sensitive information from its search index, an advisor to the European Union's highest court says in a written opinion released today. While search engines such as Google are expected to follow EU privacy laws, national data protection authorities cannot expect them to be responsible for the content published by various websites - rather it is the sites themselves that must be answerable for the content they publish, says Advocate General Niilo Jaaskinen. The Data Protection Directive…

Ballmer to Implement Major Restructuring Plan By July 1: Sources

By Jennifer Cowan (c) 2013

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's rumored restructuring plan is reportedly set to take effect by July 1 in a bid to give the software company a more competitive edge against top rivals such as Apple, Google and Samsung. Sources "close to the situation" told All Things D that Ballmer is planning sweeping changes and few of the top executives at the company are privy to the details. The sources said Ballmer is working with "a small consortium of his direct reports" and some members of the board. With so many senior executives left out of the loop, many are nervous - both about the plans for the company and about job security…

Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3, which will be in stores July 7, is available for pre-order beginning today. The tablet is available in three screen sizes: a seven-inch screen for $199, an eight-inch screen for $299 and a 10.1-inch screen for $399. The Galaxy Tab 3, which comes in white and golden-brown, includes a $10 bonus for the Google Play Store, a three-month subscription to Hulu Plus and 50 gigabytes of Dropbox storage for two years. The models sold in the U.S. will be Wi-Fi-only - meaning the devices have no cellular capability. To pre-order, customers can go to Samsung.com or order via Wal-Mart.
