I used to wonder whether I
was operating at a disadvantage because my blogs are hosted by Blogger instead
of WordPress--that is, until Google+ made it a cinch to install their buttons
on my blogs much more easily than by following the normal procedure required
to install various widgets.
Now that I and my blogs are
connected to Google+, I’m happy to report that I’m experiencing a number of
technical improvements (for example, better search-engine ranking and
practically instantaneous blog feeds to Google+.)
But here’s the down
side: it’s downright spooky to
find myself rattling around Google+, where I feel relatively alone because so
many of my literally thousands of social-media contacts seem to be absent. The system has managed to help me track
down and contact only a disappointingly small number of you. If you are already a member of Google+ but I’ve been unable to locate and contact you, please reach out to me there.
My initial thought in
joining Google+ was that it would provide an interesting new frontier for social-media experiments. But I believe the
experiments would be much more enjoyable and productive if more of my existing
social-media contacts would come out and play. So please give some thought to joining me on the platform.
These are really my ideas. Google+ didn’t hire me to say this.
But at the same time, if I’m
overlooking any good reasons for not migrating to Google+, please let me know
what they are.
