While Google Plus is a very, very new site, it’s already blossomed to a whopping 10 million users. A vast majority still don’t know how to take advantage of the social media site. Yet, there also a handful of users, who are embracing the site and taking it by storm.
Now, I’m not sure when or even if Craig sleeps, but I do know he is constantly sharing excellent and useful tips about Google+. As an editor for The Huffington Post, he is always researching, crowdsourcing and experimenting with G+ capabilities. He’s also well-known for hosting large Google+ Hangouts for The Huffington Post. If you haven’t joined one yet, you should. It’s a virtual coffeeshop, which covers a whirlwind of topics.
Another no brainer. Jen is constantly sharing and providing tips about best practices for G+, while also starting dialogue about a host of other issues. For instance, she, along with Sarah Hill, led the first ever live Google+ Hangout on KOMU-TV. They now host live hangouts routinely during their 5 p.m. newscast. This allows a small mid-Missouri TV station to have a global audience.
3. Schneider Mike (a.k.a Mike Schneider)
A soon-to-be co-author, Mike is known for his expertise about location-based marketing. But on G+, he’s providing solid insights on a whole host of technology, social media and marketing-related topics (including G+ of course.) Bonus points, that he takes the initiative to respond back to the vast majority comments and +1s. (which is a lot!)
Amber has a knack for incorporating brilliant insights while still maintaining her authentic, downright personable writing style. It’s a style that she hones weekly on her blog, Brass Tack Thinking. It’s apparent that she has kept it consistent here on G+. A must-follow.
The reason why I included Jason on this list is that he understands how to build a community. Instead of posting tips about G+, he uses his updates to post questions about a variety of topics (primarily social media related) and he gets dozens upon dozens of answers and +1s. This isn’t shocking given that Jason also does this day in and day out for Social Fresh LLC.
