Google+ Announces Pages for Non-Profits

Exciting news for social media managers around the world and maybe some added anxiety for do-it-yourself non-profits already having difficulty managing all their social media channels: Google+ annouces that Non-Profits can now have pages.

Many people are already familiar with Facebook Pages and every web development company is looking to strike it rich with this new revenue stream: social media management.  But, for many non-profits, there jus tis not enough time in one day to try and keep up with all the work that they are doing, let along manage another social media channel.

All I have to say, "May the force be with you."  Ohhh, and if you are interested I found the best brief description of how to go about claiming and setting up your page at Non-Profit Tech 2.0. 

Google+ Pages for Non-Profits allow organizations to:

1. Start real face-to-face conversations with Hangouts

2.Create circles to chare teh right message with the right people.

3.Help people recommend you on Google Search and Ads with the +1 button.

While I am pro-social media for non-profits, even I have not ventured far into the world of Google+, nor do I know many people that have.  For me, time will tell.  But let me know if you use Google+, how you do it, and if you are interested in managing my Google+ account (for free).
