Have you heard about the new social media platform called Google Plus? I joined<\/a> over the weekend and I have to say, I like it. It has the best<\/strong> of Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n

I give it 4+!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Like Twitter, it allows people to connect with to me without any “approval” process<\/strong>. (In Facebook I have to take action on each and every connection before anyone is connected to me.)<\/li>\n
  2. Like Facebook and Twitter, it allows me to create lists…but the biggest difference is, I can read each list by itself!<\/strong> This is HUGE! (And also why I have churned through several Facebook and Twitter accounts over the years. I like to see info in small bytes. So I tried to make an account for each part of my life, but the people I wanted to connect with added themselves to the social media list they found first, whether it was for their “type” or not. So I regrouped and regrouped time and again… and now… I can have my lists… and<\/li>\n
  3. I can mail to ONE list at a time<\/strong>. (This is not possible on Twitter and too difficult to manage on Facebook.)<\/li>\n
  4. And to top it all off, I can EDIT my comments AFTER I post<\/strong>. (I can’t type and spell at the same time, so this is another HUGE development for me.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So about those circles… how do you know who is where?<\/p>\n

    Well, I’m already on the Book Blogger Google + list<\/a> and the Kidlitosphere folks to follow<\/a> list. The Children’s Book Illustrators<\/a> have a list and Susan Taylor Brown also has a Poets to follow<\/a> list.<\/p>\n

    For me, the next step is, creating a new “list” for my picture book writers.<\/strong> If you’re on Google Plus and you WRITE picture books (whether\u00a0you are published yet or not)\u00a0add yourself to my G+ picture book writers list! Thanks!<\/p>\n
