Even though it is relatively new, I am sure that most of you will have heard of Google’s new social media platform Google+. If you haven’t then you need to get out from under that rock.

In today’s post we’re taking a quick look at 16 cool things you can be doing with Google Plus. First is a short video I created for you followed by a little more explanation about the 16 cool things. Enjoy!

1. Invite your friends

Google+ allows you to invite friends via email or via a link, you can send up to a maximum of 150 invites per user.

2. Use the G+1 button to share content from the web

The G+1 button is Google’s answer to the Facebook Like button and has proved to be a huge hit since its release. You can share your favorite content from the web using the G+1 button installed on many websites.

3. Make your profile visible in search

Make it easier for others to find you by ensuring your profile visible in search, which in turn can bring your more connections.

Bloggers have a love for social bookmarking sites – some because of the lure of avalanches of traffic, others because they find them to be sources of inspiration for posts.

But which social bookmarking site do you like the most?
