Social Sound Bite: Is Google Killing Google+?

On this week’s Social Sound Bite – recorded live at the KXIC studios in Iowa City – Jay and I discussed a recent development from Google. On last week’s show, we shared new data illustrating that Facebook is far from dead with teens. However, Google is breaking their social network Google+ into three products — streams, photos, and Hangouts. Listen for the full sound bite and enjoy these useful links to the news, trends, and tips included in this week’s show.
Beyond the Sound Bite

Here’s a round-up of coverage on the Google+ news.

First, this article from The Verge provides a great overview on how Google+ officially splits into Photos and Streams.

While Engadget reports that Google is testing new Contacts that blend Gmail and Google+.

Remember, the Social Sound Bite is just the appetizer! On Monday morning we’ll serve up a fresh new episode of the On Brand Podcast.
