Guy Kawasaki (Author)

Book Description

You are ninety minutes and $2.99 away from mastering Google+. That's all it takes. But don't take Guy's word for it. Here's what three experts have to say about What the Plus! Google+ for the Rest of Us:

"We didn't expect over 100,000,000 people to join Google+ so quickly. If we had, we might have written a tutorial like this one. Lucky for us, Guy has written this wonderful introduction to Google+. Highly recommended!" Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice-President, Social, Google

"What The Plus is the G+ motherlode! Guy's book will make you fall madly in love with Google+ and never look back!" Mari Smith, author The New Relationship Marketing and coauthor Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day

"People ask me why I like Google+ better. I struggle to find the words, but Guy Kawasaki not only figured it out but shows you how to get the most out of this new social network." Robert Scoble, Rackspace videoblogger

5.0 out of 5 stars The Google+ guide you've been looking for! March 6, 2012

By Peggy L. Fitzpatrick

Format:Kindle Edition

Being a huge Twitter fan, I was reluctant to spend much time on Google+, one thing brought me there and that was Guy Kawasaki's passion for it. In this book, you will learn all the tips and tricks to be a social media whiz in no time from the master of Google+ himself. Interspersed between Guy's practical advice for all social media, not just Google+, are the unknown secrets of Google+ circles, streams, and much more. This is truly a handbook for Google+ but offers much more than a dry list of how to's.

I highly recommend this book for anyone starting out in social media or new to Google+. Or anyone who would like to read an interesting and informative book. And really, how can you beat that price for world-class advice. Seriously. Just buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, entertaining, empowering March 6, 2012

By Marylene Delbourg-Delphis

Format:Kindle Edition

What the plus -- or what makes Google+ so special? It's what you like about Facebook and Twitter without their limitations. It's the ability to categorize your relationships and define your circles from the get-go. It's the ability to immediately identify people who share your passions or see the ripple effects of what you post. It's video-conferencing made easy, and so much more! Google+ offers both the personal social media experience and its communal dimension. So start today. And start with Guy Kawasaki. This book is more than a tutorial: Guy recounts his own experience candidly, helps you gain familiarity with Google+ and makes it work for you by contagion -- and he transforms "the rest of us" into power users: That's enchantment!

5.0 out of 5 stars truly for the rest of us March 7, 2012

By Jose Hanchi

Format:Kindle Edition

Google+ is still fairly new and this book will guide you through the features
but more importantly Guy's contribution is on the philosophy of Google+ as it
applies to you and this is worth a read in itself.
The humor, perspectives, and guest chapters make it a truly enjoyable read.
If you like to get the big picture of things this is a must read.
