REMINDER: REGISTER NOW FOR THE NFAIS Webinar: Google+ - Something Old,
Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Huge

 

With the launch of Google+, the landscape for social media services has a
new and prominent landmark that many organizations must reference to set the
course of their communications strategies. 

Unlike Google Wave and Google Buzz, Google experiments that met with mixed
reviews and tepid product support, Google+ is off to the fastest start yet
in social media history, gaining more than 25 million users in its first
month of use alone, and enjoys intense support and involvement from senior
Google executives and a broad staff. Google is now in social to win it, with
a rich array of Web, mobile, photo and video tools and assets that engage
people in sharing and commenting on content very actively and in fresh ways.


 

Yet Google+ did not come out of the blue; it combines elements of old
services, new ideas and features borrowed from competitors which combine to
make it a formidable and well-designed presence. Add in its upcoming use by
marketers and its expected integration into even more platforms and services
- including Google's own search services - and the position of social media
in content production and use is most certainly in for a whole new
reckoning.

 

Learn all about Google+ in an in-depth NFAIS webinar scheduled for September
9, 2011 from 11:00am to 12:30pm EDST. The session will be hosted by John
Blossom, President of Shore Communications Inc. (http://www.shore.com/) and
author of Content Nation (Wiley, 2009), who will give you a detailed
understanding of what Google+ is, where it came from, how it works, how
people are using it most effectively, and the key issues that it raises for
the information industry. If you need an invitation to try out Google+, feel
free to contact NFAIS or John Blossom to get an invitation prior to the
event, which will include demonstrations of Google+ features.
