The other day, I wrote an article about a new social media platform called Jaspud.com. After I was done publishing it on Digital Journal, I asked myself the following question: Do we really need another network to connect with people?

I have grown tired of Facebook. While I love the fact that the platform allows me to showcase what I do through my Fan Page, I honestly find that the social network has become unreliable. Too many changes occur too often. You never know what will happen next, and for someone like me, who does everything on their own, it is annoying to have to spend hours figuring out any new change.

Since its launch at the end of last month, Google+ has garnered a great deal of (well-deserved) attention. Hundreds of thousands of people have been busy testing it out, asking questions, sharing tips, and casually chatting with one another.

Are you among the lucky ones who have been invited to use Google Plus? And are you looking for tips to make the most of this very promising social networking site? If so, this article is for you! Here are 10 tricks that you may want to implement right away.
