Chris Lang

Jason Hartman interviews Chris Lang, author and social media marketing expert, about the pros and cons of Google+. Chris refers to Google+ as the new Google, explaining that Google+ takes things like web search, interactions that can be built to extend applications in Google+ from the Chrome browser, the most used browser in the world.

Additionally, the mobile apps that are available for Android, such as Mobile Search, YouTube, Google Play, Google Image Search, and much more have all been integrated into the platform for Google+. Chris explains how author thumbnails work to link products to authors with a thumbnail picture of the author, which can boost rankings because Google now ranks by content.

Chris goes into great detail on Google+ to talk about what has changed and what has improved, and how to use the platform effectively. He also talks about other social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, defining their individual uses. He wraps up with tips and tools on using Google+.
