While Google Plus has rolled out its services to focus on the average user and individual, they have plans to create extensions within Google+ primarily for businesses.

Getting Started With Google+

Google+ was developed on a very simple yet powerful foundation. Rather than adding friends into one community base or following list. You can segment your contacts by adding them into what are called “circles”.

You can label your circles as anything you wish, such as “Friends”, “Network Partners”, or even “Customers”. And you can also have as many circles without limits.

The best thing about your circles is that they are keep private. So that even when you add someone to your circle, they only see that you’ve added them as a connection. Not what circle you added them into.

When you first join Google+, you will want to begin by creating a handful of circles. With each one categorized based on the people you’re in contact with.

Accessing Google+

To access Google+, visit http://plus.google.com , or if you are log into an existing gmail account. You will see the option to connect at the top left corner of your email administration page.

You can also access Google+ through the menu items on the top right hand of your gmail account, or through any of the following URL’s:

http://Google.com/+
http://Google.com/plus
http://plus.Google.com
http://plus.google.com/me (leads directly to your Google+ profile page if you have an existing account)

Whenever you receive a new alert or notification, such as someone adding you into their circles. Or posting a comment or update, the notification box will appear in red, along with the number of updates that have taken place.

This makes it very easy for you to stay on top of new alerts and updates. Right from your gmail account!
