6. Google + (you heard the hype, here’s the reality) Good for Individuals as Brands, not yet ready for Business names, but effective for marketing local business as yourself. Justin Sanger, CEO of JoinHere, an interesting new SMB “Social Engagement Platform”, puts it thus: “A G+ and G Places integration will create the most powerful discovery, publishing, and social suite the marketplace has seen to date. The G maps algo will undergo more change as content contribution, followers, and +1s begin to affect discovery – rightfully so, as we move closer and closer to an algo that mimics the real world. A G Place will be the heart of G+ just as the personal profile is today and the company will begin to contribute content in the form of tags, deals, and informational posts.
