Today, I’m the guest blogger over at A Dish of Daily Life. You may remember Michelle from when she wrote a post for Philanthropy Friday about her experience with the Fresh Air Fund.
I’m talking about Google+ Hangouts. How to set one up and why I love them. Here’s a taste of the post:
Google+ is quietly becoming my favorite social media platform. As I become more active on it, I realize the benefits it brings me as a blogger and an entrepreneur.
For one thing, posting on Google+ helps with my search engine rankings. Because it’s Google! I’ve also noticed the network has become much more active lately. More people are “plussing” and sharing posts, and I find I’m networking with more bloggers, entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations on a regular basis.
Google+ is the second largest social network in the world, behind – you guessed it – Facebook. I’ve even heard some people predict that it will surpass Facebook by the end of the year. (That would be impressive, considering Facebook’s numbers, but you never know.)
But one of my favorite features of Google+ is Google+ Hangouts. Hangouts allow you to talk with friends and colleagues via video or message. The best part about a Google+ Hangout is that it’s free!
To read the rest, please visit A Dish of Daily Life. While you are there, you might want to peruse some of Michelle’s other posts. If you’re new there, she’s got some great articles on organizing photography, social media and being a soccer mom.

p.s. Speaking of social media, have you noticed my new social media page? You can see what I’m sharing over all my social media channels in one place. It’s powered by RebelMouse. Very cool stuff!
