The book I chose to read is Google + For Small Business. You can access the book by going to the main college page and go under the quick links and choosing library.  From there I clicked on Safari Tech books link, then sign in with my account. When I already had chosen the book, I just typed the name on the search box for easy and faster access.

The book is about how small business can take on the social network faster and easier.  It helps business with tips and tricks in socializing with costumers in a very unique way. The books gives some few steps from the bottom to the top. Helps you create an account with Google +, by providing step by step and giving the best tips on how creating an easy profile. This helps the business owner have total control of the account. In this book, the author talks about the difference between using a user profile account and a page of Google +.  

What I like about the is that, it provides images on the steps. It provides plans for the business owner. For someone that does not have experience in social network, this book is simple to understand. The book provides strategies for the users to fallow, to give the maximum success.

This book is very good and useful for people that are barely starting their business. People that has never used a social network would benefit with this book, because it provides easy steps for beginners. If you are starting or want to start using Google +, this book would be helpful. Anyone that loves socializing and sharing their stuff online could get a quite a punch with this book. Sometimes we don't really see everything that a social website can provide. The book helps with getting the most of Google +.

While I was reading the book, I notice that there is a lot of similarly with Facebook. It has its differences, for example the Circles and the Google hang outs. Since I have a Gmail, it automatically sign me in to Google +. I gave it a try, by just searching around, playing with it a while and it seemed interesting. It is very helpful for me because I would like to share my photos in the future with my friends and family on this site. The book helps me understand how I can use it if I or one of my family members have a business.

This book talks about how Google+ is better than Facebook, in marketing your business wise. To me it looks like the same, except for a small changes. I think that Google+ is more user friendly because it does not have those annoying ads. Is very bold compared to other web 2.0 applications.

The strong point of the book, is how is so helpful in terms of giving plans and  providing motivation. It gives very important aspects about small business and how it can turn into a very successful business with Google+. I think is very strong because marketing your product is one of the key point in a business. Letting you consumers know what new stuff you have is crucial. This book helps you create a plan to achieve that.
