Google Plus Local Replaces Google Places
Written by Karla Guccione, Web Designer |
Yes, it is true that Google Places is no more! However the replacement of Google Places with Google Plus Local is a logical move for Google. As Google aims to topple Facebook and Twitter as the web’s leading online communities, “Google Plus” is their vehicle to do so. This article provides an in-depth look into Google and Google’s products that relate to Google Plus and Google Plus Local. If you can afford a moment to read this article, you will understand how significant the birth of Google Plus Local is, as it relates to Google’s big picture.
Why does it make sense for Google to enter the Social Networking arena? With the creation of “Google Plus” and now Google Plus Local, Google plans to merge all of their technology under one roof! Google has been strategically building their tools to dominate the online industry. After search engines, Google has been leading the innovative mapping industry with Google Maps. With Google owning the map market, you can assume that they have all the pieces in place to bring a “local” appeal to any social community they may be involved in developing.
