This morning I had a conversation with a friend about Google+ and it’s a conversation I used to have about Twitter. It all started with the announcement that the NFL is adding Google+ Hangouts to the league’s fantasy football pages to enable a video chat feature right on the pages.

I speak a lot about Google+ as a tool for business. In fact I’ve just written a book called “ Google+ for Business Tweet ” and I’m presenting a second Focus.com Roundtable in February. “Find me on Google+ at Google.com/SocialMediaCoach ” would be one thing. And there you’d be mistaken.

Sure the big brands are using Facebook pages more than ever, but are they doing it for community or marketing? Of course they’re doing it for marketing. So here’s a thumbnail of just 4 “social networks&# and how community applies to them (in my opinion). They’re businesses.

Google+ is a great social network. People are constantly dissing this particular network even though it really has more intelligent conversation going on than many other networks. Frankly it’s not the most intuitive network and there aren’t a lot of tools that make the UI easier to manage.

I follow almost 4,000 people on Twitter , over 1500 on Linkedin , and more on Facebook , Google+ , blogs , forums, a zillion social networks, wikis and more. So don’t talk to me about how social media takes too much time when it’s really that you aren’t focused in how you’re using it.

Here’s a fun way to do it by slicing up images for a single board, similar to what people have done with Google+ photos.Post items that are shareable. Reciprocation is the core of social interaction.
