Product Description

Product Description

You are ninety minutes and $2.99 away from mastering Google+. That's all it takes. But don't take Guy's word for it. Here's what three experts have to say about What the Plus! Google+ for the Rest of Us:

"We didn't expect over 100,000,000 people to join Google+ so quickly. If we had, we might have written a tutorial like this one. Lucky for us, Guy has written this wonderful introduction to Google+. Highly recommended!" Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice-President, Social, Google

"What The Plus is the G+ motherlode! Guy's book will make you fall madly in love with Google+ and never look back!" Mari Smith, author The New Relationship Marketing and coauthor Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day

"People ask me why I like Google+ better. I struggle to find the words, but Guy Kawasaki not only figured it out but shows you how to get the most out of this new social network." Robert Scoble, Rackspace videoblogger

4.0 out of 5 stars Important Book 13 Mar 2012
By GoslingTC
Format:Kindle Edition
When I found out Google was developing it's own take on a social network platform I couldn't wait to see what they came up with! It was looking promising - I have always liked Google's understated style and was impressed with the reworking of the common social network feature list into something a bit cooler. It also didn't have the Facebook bloat and seemed leaner, meaner and cleaner... Problem was most people just didn't get it and to be honest still don't.

Guy shows a very interesting angle and explains why it hasn't quite reached critical mass, why he thinks (and I agree) it will and how the intelligent individual should get involved at this stage. I can't emphasise enough how well he has expressed it.

So why only 4 stars? I am a long time follower of Guy's work, have read a lot of his books and watched his presentations. I felt in this book he spent a bit too much time handholding the reader through the technical basics of using G+ - although there are some nuggets of wisdom he has found and shared. I'm sure this approach was purposeful to get everyone interested but for me it felt a bit like fluff.

Overall a very interesting, thought provoking and inspirational way to spend two hours and two pounds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic guide to social networking and Google+ and a bargain at 49p 8 Oct 2012
By Stephen Waddington
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Guy Kawasaki borrows Steve Jobs' famous phrase, "There must be a better way" to explain the potential for Google's social network. Google+ is to Facebook and Twitter what Macintosh is to Windows, he says.

The book consists of 15 chapters that together form a user guide to Google+ covering topics from circles to comment, and from photos to followers.

There are couple of chapters that apply equally to any form of social media on topics such as sharing content, engagement and etiquette that experienced users of Facebook and Twitter might want to skip.

Kawasaki writes in plain English and has an encouraging and engaging style. He is candid about his own use of social media and passes on information that any individual or organisation, whether starting out or experienced in social media, will find helpful.

It's the sort of book that you could read from start to finish in a single sitting, or more likely dip in and out of trying stuff as you go.

The second edition of What the Plus! Google+ for the rest of us is published tomorrow by McGraw-Hill at £6.99. Alternatively there is a Kindle edition priced at a bargain £0.49.

It's the first time I have come across an e-book that has been priced to accurately reflect the cost of a digital format. Could this be one of the first examples of the future of book publishing?

What the Plus! Google+ for the rest of us is a good basic guide to social networking and Google+.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinarily helpful 4 April 2013
By Ruth Kidson
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an extraordinarily helpful book. I have learned in one day what it could have taken me weeks or months to learn by investigating Google+ by myself. It also has links to some very useful websites. One or two of the links are no longer functioning but enough are valid to make that a minor issue. Very, very good value for money.
