I can&#8217;t stop writing about it. But you may have noticed that we (the Noisecast) do not have a Google Plus account with which to share our brilliant scribbles you while you&#8217;re circling, sparking and hanging out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s because Google has requested that businesses and other non-human entities (sorry, Agrippa) not use Google Plus for now. This is entirely understandable, as they&#8217;re still trying to tweak the consumer interface, and shouldn&#8217;t have to worry about all the things that a typical business cares about (analytics, mainly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google knows that they make their ad revenue from the user, not from businesses, so the decision isn&#8217;t surprising, but they&#8217;ve never been one to shun any user. We&#8217;ve requested to be part of the business test program, as well as be notified when they open up for all business type pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/lat.ms\/o0dqQU\">LA Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Plus: Businesses not welcome yet?
