Scoring Klout: The Inside Scoop on the Web's Hottest Measure of Social Influence [Infographic]

Posted: 06 Jul 2012 11:09 AM PDT

Facebook allows us to obsess over the mundane details of our friends' lives, and Google+ has made hanging out a legitimate activity even for people over the age of 17.

Is Google Plus a Failure [Infographic]

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 08:15 PM PDT

In the marketing community, we keep hearing about Google+ as the marketers dream platform. Features such as Ripples and the Circles function do seem incredibly appealing. It's fair to say that the audience segmentation and targeting options are unparalleled and in a marketer's perfect world, everyone would be using the service.

That is never going to entice the masses into abandoning their longstanding relationship with Facebook, Twitter and their new BFF, Pinterest. At the moment, Google+ is like a pool of piiranhas.
