September 23, 2011 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

We have seen a number of statistics in the last few days on how well Google+ is doing since it’s official launch out of the so-called “field trial”. Today we got numbers from Hitwise, a digital marketing intelligence company, and they show just how successful the Google+ launch was. On Tuesday, the new social network opened its doors to the public, allowing anyone to create an account over the age of 17, instead of requiring an invite to join like they had for the first 3 months.

Could Google be close to rolling out their version of brand pages? +Steve Rubel shared a video today that shows some new features already active on users profile pages that might indicate the answer is yes.

Google+ gets games: Angry Birds included

August 11, 2011 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

Google announced Thursday that it has started rolling out games on Google+; including Angry Birds, Bejeweled Blitz and Zynga Poker. Google is clearly aiming to take their newest effort in the social networking space into Facebook’s territory. With today’s announcement, they’re officially one step closer.
