Why Google Plus Pages Will Beat Facebook And Twitter

Google plus pages create a destination where celebrities and business owners can effectively interact with their fans and critics. Google plus comes in as an analogous alternative to what Facebook and Twitter offers.

At the moment, while Facebook boasts of 800 million users, Google claims 40 million. Nevertheless, the world should watch out for the rise of Google plus, as it endeavours to overtake Facebook and Twitter. The argument to this projection has been made known hereafter. In the first place, let’s remember how Google stands as a giant search engine, and the fact that it integrates plus into its web-dominating search engine. Searchers, with Google + Direct Connect, can insert a “+” before their query, and by so doing go directly to a business’s Google +page.

Now, what is discussed in this paragraph is critical to revealing the reason why Google+ shows strong signs of overtaking Facebook and Twitter. The fact is, with a broad array of services like Search, Gmail, Chrome and Android, Google is able to offer tools that are fundamental to the online lives of a whole lot of people.  It should be noted that, all these can be tied to Google+; and as Google+ evolves, Google will automatically have the means to promote its social network and the branded pages within it, in ways that Facebook or Twitter cannot.

How to find new people on Twitter via Google

If you are looking for an alternative to Twitter tools that have emerged in recent months to help you in searching people, then here is a simple solution to find new and interesting people to follow Twitter using our old friend Google.

When you are looking for people on Twitter, there are four basic factors that you can use in your Google search:

 

  1. Name
  2. Profile
  3. Location
  4. Their Tweets

To search for a person with his name for example, say Julian, the following will be your search Query

site:twitter.com intitle:”Julian * on twitter

or if you are not sure about the first and second name

site: twitter.com intitle: “* Julian Asange * on twitter

Then you can search for People based on the words found in their Profile/Biography

site: twitter.com intitle: “on twitter” “organic seo * *”

This will give you a long list of people who have used the word “organic seo” in their Twitter bio. Again, we can just change the search term to suit our own needs.

To search for Twitter users according to their place mentioned in their profile

site: twitter.com intitle: “on twitter” “location Portland”

Google returns a list of Twitter users based in Portland.

It is also possible to combine these search queries. For example, if you want to search for Twitter users according to their location and the words used in their profiles, use this Query

site: twitter.com intitle: “on twitter” “organic seo * *” location Portland

This will return a list of all tweets indexed by Google & containing the word SEO.
