Mind Your Business is now on Google+
Continuing to build our online community, as we did last year by creating MYB profiles on Facebook and Twitter, we have decided to take the next step by entering the world of Google+. You can now find our Google+ page here.
With Google+ recently passing the landmark of 90 million users, it’s an important place to be – both in terms of reaching customers, users and in terms of it’s SEO value. We are hoping to capitalize on our success so far on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn by extending our reach into the Google+ community and driving employment screening conversation there too.
With this in mind, here are ten fun facts on the Google+ platform:
- There are now over 90 million people using Google+
- It was rolled out in June 2011, and brand pages became available in November
- Google+ has a video chat feature, known as hangouts, in which users can chat with each other. This is a great tool for brands to optimize their customer service capabilities

- There is a 5000 maximum friend limit on every Google+ profile
- Google+ cost $585 million to build
- 500 employees helped to build the platform
