Facebook = People. Facebook is the way to learn what's going on in the lives of people you already know. Google+ = Passions. Google+ enables you to pursue your passions with people you don't know.

"Google announced that Google+ has 40 million users today. Woo-hoo! That's nearly half what Twitter claims, right? And while it's below Facebook's 800 million, Google's getting there, right? Wrong. The number simply can't be compared to Facebook and Twitter."

"What works for one business might not work for another, and Facebook, Google Plus, and Twitter each have their pros and cons. As a result, many businesses create pages on all three sites, thinking that "more is better". However, I don't think that's always advisable, especially for small businesses. This is primarily because many businesses tend to create and then abandon their social media profiles."

"After the social networking sand settled with Facebook on top over the last half decade, the social behemoth seemed untouchable. Twitter, far behind in second place, wasn't a direct competitor for a while, since it focused on public conversation and Facebook mostly targeted private, friends-only conversations. Google+ entered the picture and managed to shake things up a bit, making both networks question their own identities, adding new features left and right to try to be everything to everyone. Here we are, at the Social Network Identity Crisis of 2012, and it isn't pretty."

Yes, I installed it, and it seems like a decent process to cross-post from Google + to other social media sites.

In social media, sharing means reposting the content of others (always with a clear link back to them!) or recommending others to your followers. It's no secret that one of the keys to success in building a good following on social media is good sharing skills.
