It’s not like we hate Google+…completely, it’s just that we don’t like using extraneous Social Media platforms when they’re not necessary.
Finally, Google+ has revealed Brand Pages – a huge part of the fledgling social network. Ready for the big reveal?
Wow! Errr..that's it? There's nothing new here.
A few days after the launch of Brand Pages on Google+, and Dell only has 6,000~ followers. This is some kind of joke, right?
Dell’s Facebook page already has 780,000+ fans, and lots more, if you’ll include fan pages based on the company. Which social network do you think Dell is focusing on right now? Which page are they getting the most out of?
When you’re streamlining content and informing customers, you need to go with the platform that provides the biggest megaphone. Yes, it’s a lame analogy, but why should any business or company double-up with another page on Google+? There’s little to no reason to do so, and the only ‘new’ features I’ve heard in regards to Dell’s G+ page is that they’re thinking of using Google Hangout to provide customer service. Awkward much?
One status update on Dell’s Facebook page would get more impressions, shares, and responses than Dell’s G+ page would get in a year. At least, that’s the case right now.
So why bother with Google+ when it’s still a fledgling network with hardly any users?
