We're starting to invest more in social media... updating Facebook more, starting an Instagram for Hellobee, and stuff like that.
As part of that, we're gonna experiment with Google Plus! Even if nobody visits it, it should help us show up better in the Google search results.
Here it is... would appreciate a follow if you're up for it!

@mrbee: I see your reasoning. But I do think Google+ was a rather spectacular fail. I do not know anyone (other than developers) who use it, regularly.

@Arden: Google Plus will let us "claim" authorship of posts, which can really help with search traffic!

Even my friend who works for Google gave up on G+ 
This actually reminded me to login and see whats going on. Just one friend uses it, and she puts almost the same stuff on FB, so no need for me to bother... I think its funny how much it now looks like FB.
