So What’s The Fuss about Google Plus?
Posted on July 17, 2011 by Mary in Buzzwords, Commentary, Recommended, Social Networking, Useful!
I know… I know. I thought the same thing. “‘Oh, lordy – I need this like I need a hole in my head… yet another thing to keep up with!” Despite my initial curmudgeonly reaction to the latest entry in the social media world, I was able to score an invite to join Google Plus.
