I've been on Facebook and LinkedIn for many years, and I have a Google+ account because you pretty much can't avoid having one. However, my Google+ profile and account were pretty barebones, and since I often receive requests for friends on that account, I thought I would take this opportunity to set it up.
I started by uploading a profile photo and adding friends. I like that Google+ automatically groups people. I'm not as fond of the magazine type layout, but at least it's not overrun with ads the way Facebook is these days. and I like the way it handles photos. Although I had a bunch of friend requests to process, when I added all the people, what I discovered was that not many of them are actually posting to Google+. In fact, one post read, "Just posting so I can find again." Most amusing. I'm glad to have an improved profile, but I don't know how often I will check this.
Our library currently has a Facebook and Twitter account. Our blog automatically posts to Twitter, but not to Facebook. I set it all up so long ago that I have no idea offhand how it works or what it uses. I might take a look at Hootsuite or something else to automatically make our posts go to all our sites, although I most likely will use a PC and not an app to do so. I can't quite imagine why one would use an app for this purpose, but maybe it will all become clear to me when I get my neural implant. :-)
