Google’s social media network seems to have certainly gone off the boil in recent times. The Facebook challenger really hasn’t been hitting the headlines for many of the right reasons lately and after a blistering start seems to have fizzled out in the same vein as a number of other wannabe contenders. So, why is this so, what’s wrong with Google+?
Twitter has taken the world by social media storm in the last 5 or so years since its inception. The micro-blogging platform is one with more followers than a large stick can be shaken at. Though, the original site is excellent, as are the translations of the app to iPhone and other platforms, there are still a number of third party apps that can really add to the twittesphere and your experience with Twitter. We check out the very best Twitter apps for iOs.
The product of Facebook app development can be a mixed bag. There are a few rather annoying ones, as you may have noticed, and it’s important to check your app permissions each time you install one, to make sure it’s not posting your every move on your news feed. That said, if you’re selective, there are a nifty few of the best Facebook apps that will make your life easier, as well as some awesome business apps to make business social media campaigns a breeze.
We have seen countless videos and articles last week about the new look Youtube design.

Some are dealing with it better than others, of course…. Here’s three of my favourite examples of the new wave of websites dedicated to helping traditional structures embrace the possibilities offered by digital and social media.

The concept of viral ads or web videos was introduced to our lives with YouTube around 5 or 6 years ago. These branded ads, or commercials offer a significant chance for business to really hit the big time and advertise their product on a huge scale and without having to pay networks for the advertising space.
So, Google have released Google+ pages, prompting an avalanche of tweets from brands, non-profits and other organisations asking you to “add us to your circles!” It’s been a matter of small frustration to anyone involved in social media for business, or any form of brand-based social media marketing, that pages have taken so long – and that’s even after Google brought their launch date forward due to demand. Add to this the fact that Google took to suspending profiles which were run by brands in the pre-page period – a side effect of the real names vs. aliases discussion – and it did all seem a little badly planned, even if you considered that G+ wanted the individual user to get used to the space before letting the brands in.
