How Google+ ends social networking fatigue

The author of this post talks about how Google+ can replace Facebook, email, Twitter, Skype, blogging, RSS, texting, chat, and email newsletters. Boy, wouldn’t that be great? The problem is that this article was written back in July 2011 and STILL no one is on Google+. Sad.

I’m worried that in all the hype, in all the “we launched our company” events, and “we changed our name again” parties, and “we redid our website – come celebrate!” shindigs, and the SXSW parties, and the hoodies, and everyone who is “killing it!”, that we’re losing sight a bit of the really hard work that is creating and building a business.
