Guy Kawasaki is convinced that Google Plus is the best social media platform around. Can he convince you, too? In What the Plus! he sets out to do just that.
Like anyone else, I really don’t need another social media network. But then again, that’s why I stayed away from Pinterest – and I love Pinterest. I wasn’t going to read this book because I had no intentions of doing anything with Google Plus, even though I do keep hearing about cool features from other bloggers. But after reading APE by Kawasaki, I wanted to give it a read.
If you’ve read his book APE: Author, Publisher and Entrepreneur some of this information will sound familiar because Guy shared how authors can use G+ to serve them in various aspects of creating, publishing and marketing their books. There is plenty of information in What the Plus that isn’t in APE that it’s worth it to get the book to learn the full functionality of Google Plus.
What the Plus is written in an easy to read way with plenty of humor and good information to keep the book interesting. Guy shares what makes G+ unique and in many cases, better, than Facebook, Twitter, and the others. He compares it to Mac, much better than the competition but less used.
I have to admit, I am impressed – G+ has a lot to offer that other guys are lacking. In fact, yesterday Facebook asked me to participate in a survey and I gave them some tips that they could learn from G+ that I’d just learned from the book!
I’ve been dipping my toes in the waters of G+ as I’ve been reading the book and I’m looking forward to spending more time there. It’s much cooler than I first thought!
Oh and as far as it being a how-to guide, it’s very well done in that respect too.

I too am trying to shed myself of the drug that is Facebook. G+ seems like it has so much more of a grown-up feel to it. And not full of the madness of having to buy my audience.
Looking for a tool that can help me to move/merge my 4000_ fans on FB over to my G+ community.
Hi Tony,
Getting others to move over to G+ is the tricky part! I think that we need to share with our friends and followers how much better G+ is! 🙂

Hi Stacy, I’ve been on G+ since it first started and really like it. Sounds like a great book I may have to get. I sure bet Facebook is concerned.
Hi Lisa,
It really is good book, I must have highlighted about an eighth of it! 🙂 It has a lot of tricks and tips, and the nice thing about the kindle version is that it can easily be updated when changes are made to G+!

I find it amazing that there’s so much talk about G+, yet very few actually actively use it… I might need to pick up a copy; thanks, Stacy!
