4 Reasons Artists Are Loving Google+

The Atlantic:

Lots of artists are posting their work on Google+. We got in touch with a few of them to ask about their experience so far. The response? They love it. As Carsten Bradley, an illustrator in Atlanta, Georgia, writes:

At this point, for artists it is almost like a social networking utopia. We get instant feedback on our work, and visibility far exceeding the capabilities of Facebook and Twitter combined. With the power of circles, we can share works in progress to select individuals and get immediate feedback and critiques without exposing the work publicly. Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with those reasons. Maybe it's just because it's new and shiny. [But the truth of it is] that artists are really coming together here, and it's wonderful.

Well Great--- Good for Google+... but what was the Point of such a hue and cry --having Rivalry with Facebook and so much more---Firstly the common person has no idea where and how to get on Google+, and if its meant for only professionals from certain category to be at Google+ then its not a Social Network its a Commercial Site--- it only servers the purpose of advertising---- and celebrities to get extra coverage--- Google could have announced that earlier at least they would have saved themselves from all the controversies and moreover, the way users went through the inconvenience feeling lost who to follow facebook or Google +-- Anyway Congrats to all Professionals who have been provided a chance to Exhibit there works-- but the sad part is the whole world is neither a Celebrity not specially gifted with a peculiar Talent or skill------

Get a grip, dude. All you need is someone to invite you. Just about all my friends on FB are on Google +. Maybe you need more friends.
