The Google Plus machine is finally moving towards the business user. We now have Google+ Pages, basically a Facebook Fan Page.

"Google's +1 button will not automatically subscribe anyone to a brand page. Rather, Google is introducing a new button that brands or publishers can use to allow visitors to join a circle in one click.

In addition, Google is introducing a new search command that will act as a shortcut to joining a circle, in hopes of making the action as natural as a search query. If users type "+pepsi" into the search box, that command can automatically subscribe them to PepsiCo's Google+ page."
Google+ Is Now Open for Business

Ok, have finally got round to doing our unimpressive Google Page:
https://plus.google.com/103929635387487847550/posts

Looks a bit bare and barren, and to be honest never really did anything with our Facebook equivalent, but for those who want create one, the links below:

https://plus.google.com/pages/create

If anyone has done a decent fan page, or any views on fan/google pages, then fire away

Just working on this now, Steve.

For those of you that haven't seen this, here's a short tutorial on getting started.

Ok that looked easy. I am on the case.

My only comment is that Google+ looks a bit empty at the moment but it may well take off so 5 minutes is worth it.

Yes, it's very much a ghost town. On the other hand we'll be all set up and ready to go, and once it really takes off, we shall be a couple of the original members.

Looking slightly worrying - clearly they need to develop beyond the Ghost Town feel!!

I understand that google have only just allowed business pages on google+, so it really is only early days.

Hmmmm, maybe we've all reached social saturation? (is that a term yet?) With so many platforms and tools, from a business point of view it's hard to justify much time with some of them, which is where we are with Google+ at the moment.

I reckon it's time for the the next big thing, virtual reality networking, and we all meet up in the My Local Forum bar and get virtually bladdered? I'm the tall thin bloke in the corner

hmmm, could be onto something....
