I’m not saying you all need a Google+ account. But answer these three questions to yourself:
- Is your community of interest developing (or has already been developed) on G+?
- Does the brand of your organization require being (or looking) innovative?
- Would you your content fit the type of content shared on G+?
If your answer is “yes” to all three questions, you shouldn’t waste any more time and start engaging within your G+ community. You can find more info and recommendations on this in this blog post by my colleague Pablo Perez‘ G+ Communities: A Social Media Network inside a Social Media Network
