30+ Ways To Use YouTube Effectively | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it
YouTube is one of the hidden gems in online marketing. It is a terrific way for small business owners to compete with the big brands. But creating effective (as in watchable) content and then promoting it can be intimidating.
Of particular interest to business owners who are wondering if the time creating and marketing with video is worth it is the YouTube Partner Program, created in 2007. It now has more than a million creators earning money from their videos. Thousands of channels are making six figures a year.

Jaana Nyström's insight:

To get started uploading videos through Buffer, select a video file from your computer—either an mp4, mov, or avi file of up to 1 gigabyte in size.

Drop your video into the Buffer composer window or choose the file you’d like to upload, and Buffer will do the rest!

Google+ Is Alive and Well Despite Persistent Media Reports

Google+ Is Alive and Well Despite Persistent Media Reports | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it
NEWS ANALYSIS: Repeated news media claims that Google+ is on the verge of extinction appears to be a delusion caused by a social media paradox called the "majority illusion."


A chorus of tech journalists this week is saying that Google is phasing out its social network, Google+.

Where did they get this juicy nugget of information?

Well, they made it up.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's curator insight, July 31, 2015 2:00 AM

I have missed some real information on the subject from an insider. 

And here is some -

I must say, FB have made a concept of dictatorship deciding who and what i see posting and i don't like it.

About 60% of what's hitting my "wall" is advertising now and if you are one of my friends there is 7% chance i got you update and posts on my screen. 


Is G+ the answer then?


Not at the moment because the people i like to interact with isn't using it and never had.


Actually i would like to see something new. -

Something with the best from Twitter, FB, and G+ combined in a new concept.


Is there such a thing already?


I don't know, maybe there is.

Please make some comments here and help us out if you know one.

I'll check it.

New things popping op all the time :-)

Official Gmail Blog: Inbox by Gmail: Snooze to just the right time | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Wouldn’t it be nice if your concert ticket appeared at the top of your inbox just before the event started, or your hotel confirmation came back right before you needed to check in?

Starting today, Snooze in Inbox is getting a bit more convenient—when you snooze an email that has dates and times (like event confirmations or shipping notifications), you’ll get a one-tap option to snooze to exactly the right time, like the day of your concert or the morning your package will arrive.

“Yes, We Still Love Google+” Says Outgoing Google CEO Larry Page

“Yes, We Still Love Google+” Says Outgoing Google CEO Larry Page | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it
Asked about the service, Page expressed support that it will continue even as Google becomes part of Alphabet.
Jaana Nyström's insight:

The future of Google+ came under question yet again last month, as Google announced it was disconnecting the social service from other parts of Google, such as YouTube.

After that, Google vice president Bradley Horowitz reassured that Google+ itself wasn’t dead and would continue as a “connection” platform. Now Page, still Google’s top-most leader, has added his support in only his fourth public post of 2015 on the service.

Collections have arrived!

Every collection is a focused set of posts on a particular topic, providing an easy way for you to organize all the things you’re into.
You can move your old posts to collections without needing to reshare them. You can start sharing new posts directly into collections.

An enhancement to our posts, blogs and content creation, be it photos or text.
