Too busy to take a sales call, I'm updating my status

Wow, just what I needed, another social media platform.

I was only blogging via twitter on the merits of facebook over linkedin the other day when I realised something was missing in my life. Google + and the circles.

Somewhere else to write messages about the cake on the office kitchen top. Done with the hope you click on a URL, follow us or like us. Needy much...

If I walk past a member of my sales team and they're on facebook, they better be on lunch or it's the naughty step. If there on twitter is that different? Are they "working" or is it shouty time?

Can we all spare the hour in the day whilst all the team set themselves up on a new platform with profiles, pics, wire ups, links?

Yes, I can see the double standard here, moaning about a new social media platform on a social media platform but my technical director @DavidHHazzard is a massive fan of keeping it simple. He drives this belief into everything we do at NewZapp Email Marketing. Surely were at saturation point here? These wheels (or circles, satire.com) have already been invented.

I for one, have a new google + profile. Of course you'll need to open a google account if you don't already have one, or request a password for the one you've not used in 5 years to see it. (is that my penny on the floor or yours? well played Google!)

Do I have to comment, tweet or whatever it is now on Google + too? just incase in god knows how long Google + the new [insert existing social media platform here]

I enjoy a tweet and linkedin snooping whilst my mum likes to keep an eye on me on facebook. If anyone can convince me Google + is the future I'll RT, post, blog or comment an apology to the Google ivory towers.
