Do Laws Affect Me As A Blogger? #SocialCafe 2.29
- What are the G+ changes that have affected you?
There are a few G+ changes out there that we have experienced, including the quite large cover, layout/navigational changes, as well as look and feel. But, we are resourceful and adapting.
@TheBlogWorkshop I do love how the home page is laid out now. Easier to navigate. I can't wait for more people to use G+ I #socialcafe #TBW— Krystal (@KrystalS) July 10, 2013 | A1. The new covers are cool but I wish they were slightly smaller in height #SocialCafe #TBW— TBW University (@TBWUniversity) July 10, 2013 |
- What are the YouTube changes that have affected you?
Google added a cool YouTube channel trailer feature, as well as layout changes. Some of it is quite sleek, but may take us a bit to get used to, with change.
@socialwebcafe Since I don't utilize my personal YouTube acct (not yet anyway! I want to start a vlog series!), it hasn't. #socialcafe #TBW— Krystal (@KrystalS) July 10, 2013 | A2. We absolutely LOVE the new cover/social icons/links etc... honestly I wondered what took them so long, lol #socialcafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop (@TheBlogWorkshop) July 10, 2013 |
- How have these changes helped your brand?
Interestingly, it is not uncommon for us to feel the need/desire to use G+ and YouTube more than we have in the past. Even for those of us "veterans," this is inspiring us to do more.
A3 I like the new layout; easier flow; better marketing opps. #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 10, 2013 | @socialwebcafe I think the YouTube changes have influenced me to finally USE it and start vlogging! #socialcafe #TBW— Krystal (@KrystalS) July 10, 2013 |
- In what ways do you plan to use these changes to maximize your social presence?
Consistent with the last question, it is a matter of utilizing it. Some suggestions would be to start utilizing the interactive buttons. Check out the link for a Wordpress plugin, in the resources listing.
@Joannenyc5 I need to get better about using G plus myself #socialcafe— Ashley Balstad (@AshleyBalstad) July 10, 2013 | A4 Use it more! For example, interactive buttons. #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 10, 2013 |
