- I sat in on a webinar last week that was supposed to be a tutorial on G+. The funny thing was the two people running the show couldn’t figure out how to use ‘sparks’ in the live demo!

And Facebook and Twitter and Linkedin are NOT google. If you’re business depends on people finding you online it would be folly to not get into Google+ . Here’s why….
