Sweet!
I’ve been unsettled with my social media management since Tweetdeck went downhill, and although I use Hootsuite for some scheduling, I may have to jump to it for all my social media needs with this latest addition.
How about you?

Matt Steen says
I was pretty disappointed to learn that this is just pages, not profiles.
I left trying to decide whether it is worth building up my circles on a page, or just wait for them to get this to work with my profile… either way, I am still not convinced that G+ is worth a super heavy investment of my time and energy yet…
What do you think?
Chris says
I agree Matt. I’m glad they finally made this available to everyone, but am disappointed it’s just for pages and not for profiles. I’ll still make my G+ posts the old fashioned way for now I guess. Not sure who to be upset with – Google or Hootsuite.
Matt Steen says
Hootsuite is blaming it on Google… but who knows.
Chris Ruddell says
wouldn’t surprise me – Google has done a really poor job of opening G+ up to third parties.
Eric Dye says
I’ve been doing it for SEO sake at this point, and considering how much Google has invested in Google+, I don’t see it going away anytime soon. I think it deserves some attention, but I would give a lot of love.
Matt Steen says
That’s pretty much been my approach and rationale. Milk it for SEO, otherwise it is quickly becoming an afterthought.
Connor from HootSuite says
Thanks for sharing Eric. We’re really excited to finally have G+ Pages for everyone. We also understand the frustrations with no personal G+ profiles yet… Hopefully we’ll be able to add them soon.
We’ve got some other exciting things in the works – stay tuned!
