If you’re like a lot of people on Google+, you’re here for the engagement, networking, and the overall value-added content G+ can offer.

It’s exciting to provide content and have others comment on it.  It’s a great feeling when you comment on another’s post and they +mention you.  It’s plain fun engaging with others (why else would we be here? To get rich quick?Hopefully not!).

As you become more engaged with Google+, how you do you manage all of your notifications?

As you engage, you see the numbers jump up in the little red notification box on Google+; you’re notified when you receive comments, +1’s, +mentions, circle adds and any other notification that you have set up.

As you see that number increase, you want to click it to see what engagement-goodies lie in the drop...

How do you fascinate on Google+?

This is a post taken from my Google+ Profile that I wrote after seeing Sally Hogshead’s TED Talk video on Fascination.

+Martin Shervington has this innate ability to create incredible weekly playlists on YouTube that are not just awe-inspiring, they’re downright life-changing – if you allow it.

In this week’s lineup, one of the videos was a +TEDx from Sally Hogshead, a hall of fame speaker and leading expert on fascination.  In this video, Sally speaks on the topic of fascination, which was indeed fascinating and was a topic that I couldn’t shake from my thoughts; especially, in the Google+ profile realm.

Sally relates how in an online world, we now have the attention span of about 9 seconds...

Lately, as I’ve been learning Google+, I am continually reading posts and visiting links about how Google and its family of products and features can help you grow your audience or your business; what I haven’t seen much of is how they can be geared towards families.  I know Google used to have Google Apps that were offered for free for small organizations and many families jumped on board, but I’m not talking about that.

What I’m referring to is simply using Google products for family oriented purposes.  Below, I list 6 of Google’s features that I have personally used with my family.

1. Hangouts

I recently wrote about my first Google+ Hangout experience that I had with my brother who I don’t get to see very often...

I’m still relatively new to using Google+, but after having read “What the Plus” by Guy Kawasaki, I decided Google+ would be worth another look.  Since I finished the book a couple of weeks ago, I have become an avid believer of Google+ and the power behind it; one of the powerful features, that I believe to be of great personal value, is Hangouts.

Like many people, I have family spread across the country which makes it difficult to see each other on a regular basis; this is where hangouts can come to the rescue...

Do you remember back in the “day” when we used to use alarm clocks?  What about when you go to the store and you walk through that aisle that still has alarm clocks?  You know the one I’m talking about; the one that makes you wonder who still uses these back-in-the-day devices.  Do you actually know anyone who still uses an alarm clock that isn’t on their phone?
