Dear Reader,
After attending a social media conference for bloggers (#BBCPHX), I am putting more effort into my Google+ account. Won’t you come and join me there?
This is me: Barbara Feldman on Google+
Using the +1 button on sites you like (such as Surfnetkids.com) and following people active in your area of interest (such as me, I hope!) will improve your Google results by showing MORE sites that are liked by people you follow. This is known as “Google Plus Your World.” I’ll be writing more about this on my Surfnetkids.com Tech blog soon, but meanwhile here’s a post from Google about it.
So, I’ll see you over at Google+ soon, right?
See ya on the Net,
