SpeedLink 44/2011, Google+ Clout, SEO, Online Business, Page Speed

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a great week, and a productive one at that. This weeks buzz undoubtedly was again related to the social web. Google+ Pages being made available to everyone was one of those that attracted most of the attention. So much so that new services to “measure” your influence on Google+ has started to appear. Pretty much similar to Klout, PeerIndex, etc.. There are now two that I am aware of that measures and tracks your Google+ related activities, influence and more. I guess this was just a matter of time… Those services are CircleCount.com and PlusClout.com (familiar?). Not so sure what good they will serve for us all, but I am sure that many will soon talk about it. You might want to check it out and perhaps get in there. BTW, do you know of any other similar services? What good (if any) will all this “numbers” be for us? We’ll see…

Anyway and as usual, in no particular order.
