It's been a while since Google Plus has been around, it created quite a buzz in its initial days but with time the enthusiasm seems to be diminishing.
Perhaps it's a bit of hesitation or maybe laziness among people who aren't making the most of this latest social networking site. It does have quite a lot of stuff to offer, both from personal and professional point of view. And by observing Google's ongoing attempt to revamp almost all of its products and services with Google Plus as their main focus, the only smart thing to do is to understand this product before it gets too complicated. You don't wanna be left behind in this era of social networking without which your website or business will be as invisible as FourSquare these days.
So we have collected some of the best resources in the web that will help you in understanding Google Plus in the most simplest and effective ways. You will find the basics in here, tools and tips, how you can leverage Google Plus for the benefit of your business, some fun infographics and comparison with other social networking sites, and once you are all familiar with Google Plus we have some pretty handy cheat sheets to share as well.

4 Reasons Google+ Brand Pages Will Be Better Than Facebook’s [OPINION]
"Converting Facebook's 750 million active users to Google+ will be long, difficult battle for the search giant. But converting brands to Google+ will be much easier if Google+ is able to solve advertisers' biggest problems with Facebook - such as post-click engagement tracking, paid search inefficiencies and limited customization.
Advertisers drive paid media to their Facebook Pages because they want to be where their audience is, but there's a major flaw in this strategy. Advertisers can't track post-click engagement of non-Facebook ads driving to Facebook, and that's a huge disadvantage in qualifying traffic and uncovering valuable insights. Without such information, we can only guess weather media dollars are being well spent.
In a month of two, Google+ will launch its highly anticipated brand pages. Here are four reasons why marketers are right to be excited and why Google+ brand pages will provide a better branded experience than Facebook."

Google Plus Hangouts For Business Tips
"So, why am I here talking about Google Plus Hangouts when I should be talking about bloggers using videos? Well, because some bloggers that plan on using the Google+ Business Pages may have a leg up on other bloggers/PR/Customer Service people. Yes, an unfair advantage for those that are thinking ahead and keeping up with the times.
Who is going to have an advantage? The bloggers who have familiarized themselves with Google Plus Hangouts and sitting in front of a web cam. While some people can just plug in their webcam or video cam and chat away…others of us really need to work on our skills. So, if you are one who already loves the camera, you may think I am crazy for what I am about to say…."
Margie Clayman:
Let’s Talk About Google Plus For Business
"Any day now, Google Plus is going to launch business profiles for Google Plus, and boy is there excitement about how that will look. Google famously ticked off a lot of brands and companies when they kicked out profiles that didn’t have human-like names in the early days, but it was all with the idea that eventually this brave new world within a brave new world would arise. No pressure.
My trepidation about Google Plus for businesses comes out of two major channels of thinking. One, I think a lot of companies and brands still have work to do in figuring out how to use other social media platforms for business. Two, the broadcast nature of Google Plus that I perceive (as we talked about on Monday) will be a turn-off for potential customers rather than a turn-on."
