Great post, Denise. I’m just getting started and doing it all on my own is a full-time job. I’m very curious about Google +, would love an invite. Thanks for sharing your valuable insight!

I’m finding clients are in overload more than we are in our business. I attribute our lack of overload (at this point, anyway) to having a tech-savvy team and setting up systems instead of trying to do everything by yourself.
If Google+ can simplify life, I think it will do extremely well. If it adds to the social networking clutter… we don’t need ‘one more thing’ to do every day. I agree, each social media platform has unique strategies that need to be implemented, depending on the business. What works well for one business doesn’t necessarily translate to the next business.
I’ve participated in Twitter conversations that were very valuable, and one event had a very active conversation while the event was being held. This can be useful for both attendees as well as those who wished they could be there.
I agree, Denise, streamlining your strategy needs to be done for many businesses, and focusing on the best use of each social media platform is a great place to start.

Not in overload here yet.

Also manage LinkedIn, Twitter, G+, Facebook and YouTube. And Foursquare is my main goto location app.

Neither HootSuite or Tweetdeck has added in G+ yet. So manage it on its own.

It is to early yet to say where G+ is going. You are right a lot of early adopters has signed up there.

And I seen already hot discussions if G+ will kill either Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. Personally I think Google need to ‘kill’ Google Buzz.

Like you Denise I have learned that LinkedIn Groups has for me been much more effective then my Facebook Fan Page. As Gary Vee would said it – It speaks more to my DNA.

If G+ will change my content strategy? In a way it will. I will repurpose some of my content a bit different then I have done. Though this is not due to G+ it comes from paying attention to your articles and testing my content strategies.

But your question here is very good. I see here people that request invites, and I experienced people jump on G+. We still need a content strategy, else G+ want make much of a difference. It will just add to our Social Media clutter.
