With all the changes coming to Facebook, some bloggers are tired of the “pay to promote” features and the lack of notifications in theirnewsfeeds. In general, Facebook is digging its grave because a lot of writers and business people who want to stop with all the nonsense.

Peg Fitzpatrick mixes together the Five Easy Steps to Bake the Perfect Google+ Post.
Jaana Nyström's insight:
Google+ is not rocket science, although there are rocket scientists enjoying the platform. Yet each time I go on Google+ and check the stream I see people making the same type of posts that are not getting any +1, comments or shares. I challenge you to put in a little more effort and follow these simple steps to create a richer Google+ experience. - Peg Fitzpatrick

I stopped giving +1's to most of the postsInstead, I started to analyze all those posts and to think if I'd like them to be shared to all my followers. I know that Google+ doesn't share ALL of them, but I have no way of knowing which will be spread out there and which will not! So my scuba diving, golfing and gardening peeps have suffered as I've only given +1's to my main topic or Google+ related stuff.

I felt liberated, opting out!

Few of those people will continue to follow the body of my work, they just want to be entertained for a moment, and they consider that my purpose...

Deep respect to Steve Martin of +Copperfox Marketing who wrote a "Google+ is useless" blog post several months ago. He was challenged by a number of G+ users who said he simply hadn't tried to use the platform effectively. To his credit, he swallowed his pride and tried out what they suggested, and lo and behold found the Google+ richness that you and I know so well.
From his new post:
Google+ is providing value. It isn’t the same as Facebook, and that’s okay. There is a community on Google+ that is alive, rich, and ready to share. The referral traffic, SEO enhancements, and auto-hashtagging are also nice benefits. I fell trap to my own impatience when I originally wrote my article in July of 2013. That is, I was kept out by the barrier-to-entry issues, namely educating myself on what it takes to excel in Google+
