Google’s social layer, Google+, was busy unwrapping presents for it’s users in late December, but the one gift that promises most to “keep on giving” is Google+ Communities.

Shirley Williams (XeeMe.com/ShirleyWilliams)'s insight:
The author shares some good quick tips on managing your Google Community - for both your brand and interest.
The tips include
1. Build your own Communities owned by your brand page
2. Post regularly both your own and curated topical content to your Communities
3. Build a strong moderator team
4. Participate as your brand in other Communities5. Invite the outside world to your Community6. Use Communities for customer service
All good points however #4 is a delicate balance. I would advise that this is not about promoting. I would also suggest developing the relationships and contributing before promoting your own community.
A quick informative read.

If you don’t have the toolbar installed, I suggest you do so – it’s your portal to lots of amazing things on the Internet that you’d never find otherwise. You just set your parameters and hit the Stumble button…be warned that it’s easy to spend hours surfing this way.

The redesign that Twitter has undergone this time around is a marked shift from the past. Up until now, Twitter had stuck to its design elements and at most had tweaked them for better usability. This time though, the changes are significant and going by the number of changes that we see, brands as well as users are in for a big surprise and could radically change the way the micro-blogging site is used on an everyday basis.
With over 100 million users and the competition heating up, the change was imminent and perhaps arrives at the time when advertisers are warming up to the idea of advertising on Twitter.
