Book Description
Prior to Google+, Photographers relied on a mix of Twitter,
Facebook, Flickr, and other services to display their work and
interact with others. No single service provided photographers with
a complete set of tools that allowed them to connect with others in
a rich, meaningful way –until now .
Unlike other social networks, Google+ allows photographers to
upload, personalize, and update images easily. The Google+
interface is intuitive and attractive — images appear large
and uncropped in the stream, preserving their original integrity;
and the infinite scrolling feature creates a fluid, enjoyable photo
browsing experience. In addition, the Google+ interface is built to
encourage social interaction, not in miniature sound bites, but in
full-length discussions with diverse groups of people. Users can
build circles to connect with just those they want to include in
different conversations, and they can use the Hangouts feature to
talk with other users in real time from anywhere in the
world.
With this book, you'll see why Google+ has quickly become the most
inspiring and interactive social network for photographers, and
you'll learn how to leverage Google+ to build a following and
connect with other photographers –and potential customers
.
