Guess what? I'm also on Google+

I have a feeling very few of you are on Google+, but if you are, I thought you might like to know that I'm now on sharing links, thoughts and things of a like nature on that oft-ignored social-media site via google.com/+BryanOchalla.

I've actually had a Google+ account for ages now, but I only began using it in the last couple of weeks due to learning that the powers that be at Google apparently give added weight to links and shares and such that come from their social-media offering.


I don't make a dime from this blog at the moment and probably never will, so I'm not sure why that matters to me, but I guess that's a conversation that's best left for another day and another post, wouldn't you agree?

Anyway, if by some chance you do have a Google+ account, I'd of course love it if you'd add me to one or more of your circles, share my links now and then or simply make a comment should you ever feel the itch. Also, let met know your name, username or Google+ handle so I can follow you back and ensure ours isn't simply a one-way social-media relationship.

It appears that we are already acquainted on Google+, although I have no idea when the last time I used it was.

Oh, yes, we've been connected on Google+ for some time, Justin. We probably both joined around the same time (after it first launched) and then stopped using it. Before I started using it again a couple of weeks ago, I'd used it exactly one time--in 2011, I think?

I saw that you added me a few months back, but I guess I never returned the favor? I will remedy that!

No worries, Zach! And thanks :)

I think we're all on Google Plus... whether we want to be or not. -_-

Really, Jess? Huh...

Google made it mandatory for anyone using their services, including YouTube. You don't have to use it, but you've gotta have it!

OH SHEEEIIIIIT! *face melts* I'm bored. How're things?

Marcus Estrada said...

Still have gotten "into" G+ yet, but decided to add you :). This should be the link for my profile (don't have a fancy custom one!): https://plus.google.com/105651857602396737976/

thegaygamer.com said...

Ha! Nice to hear from you again, Tom. Things are great for me right now, although also hectic. How about you?

thegaygamer.com said...

Who has gotten into it, Marcus? Right? I mean, I almost certainly wouldn't be into it if I didn't have this blog. Anyway, thanks for the follow--I'll follow you back (or whatever) in a jiffy!

Working too much to focus on my content. But I'm trying to remedy that. Who knew being a grown up would have so much responsibility and would actually be hard? lol

thegaygamer.com said...

I know the feeling well, Tom ;)

Ah, there you go! I had no idea XD

I don't know what's going on, but Google+ is crazy about giving your profile views if you have a Blogger site. I see your profile has nearly 8 million views (!!), while mine has a pretty respectable 7 million. That said, I have never noticed any of this translate into blog post views for me, hahaha. If I even got a seventh of that in blog hits I'd be happy! ;)

thegaygamer.com said...

Yeah, I noticed that, too, Anne. And like you, I don't know that it has translated into a boost in page views, etc. Oh, well, right?
