By dragging and dropping individuals into these customizable groups, users will have a tighter control over who sees what information (or that drunken party picture from last night). A piece of media shared in one circle goes out to all members of that group.<\/p>\n<p>Google+ holds new opportunities for advertisers. With \u201cSparks\u201d, an integrated feature of this new platform, Google will tailor entertainment information specifically for users based on their lists of interests and activities while logged into the platform. With a more comprehensive analysis of user data, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to find more targeted opportunities for HR professionals and marketing gurus to pinpoint their target demographic.<\/p>\n<p>Google+ is still undergoing testing, but keep an eye out for future development!<\/p>\n<p>Signing off for now,<\/p>\n<p>Buyer Advertising<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buyerads.com\/\">www.buyerads.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Announced just days ago, Google has fired a shot over the port bow with its newest attempt for a piece of the social media pie.
