Google+ for Photographers

Prior to Google+, photographers used a mix of Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and other services to display their work, tell their story, and interact with others. No single service provided photographers with a complete set of tools that allowed them to connect with others in a meaningful way. Google+ has quickly become the most engaging and interactive social network for photographers today.
Unlike other social networks, Google+ allows photographers to upload, personalize, and update images easily. The Google+ interface is intuitive and attractive--images appear large in the stream, and the image browser shows uncropped images, preserving the integrity of original images. This, combined with the infinite scrolling feature, offers a first-rate photo browsing experience.
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 use the Hangout feature to talk with other users in real time.
This book covers the core concepts of social interaction and creative control that Google+ offers photographers. Each chapter features profiles of leading photographers--Dave Cohen, Brian Matiash, Varina and Jay Patel, Scott Jarvie, Catherine Hall, Patrick Di Fruscia, Alex Koloskov, Trey Ratcliff, and Elia Locardi--who will share their own photos and tips on how to make the most of Google+.
