Hootsuite Hanging Out with Google+
How Google+ Joined Hootsuite’s Gang of Social Networks
When Google the search engine giant first revealed its social media site, a huge buzz started due to its direct competition with Facebook, the reigning social network. Many people became more and more curious about Google+ as it started to attract huge numbers of members. Compete.com’s site analytics has investigated that Google+ garnered more than 30 million users in May 2012.
This has generated interest among business owners to have their own Google+ pages. This increased the demand for social media management tools like Hootsuite to monitor site analytics for this social network.
Last July 18, 2012, Hootsuite announced that it will finally link with Google Pages to help businesses monitor their social marketing campaigns in Google+. Page administrators can now publish public or circle-targeted status updates, upload documents, reply to comments, save posts to a stream and many more.
