Have you looked at Google+ yet?

http://plus.google.com/
While your clientele are probably not there yet, it would be good for you to experience it and understand it before everyone else has it figured out and you are playing catch-up - again.


Steve Judd and Kevin Gamble will be presenting "Google+, What's the fuss?" this afternoon (12/2/2011) at 2pm EST - http://www.extension.org/learn/event/372


They wrote a blog post to let you get a feel for what they are going to be talking about at: http://blogs.extension.org/militaryfamilies/2011/11/29/google-what%E2%80%99s-the-fuss/
