Are you managing Google+ or is Google+ managing you?

Are you managing Google+ or is Google+ managing you? That is the question ;) Todd Lohenry asks this question in his latest blog post and immediately offers a best practice answer in form of his GTD 'processing' workflow. Thank you, Todd, for your insight and support of Friends+Me One tool that can tip the scales in your favor is Friends+Me. Friends+Me has magical unicorn-like powers that not even HootSuite or Buffer possess; specifically, Friends+Me can take things that are posted to your Google+ account or pages and autopost them on a schedule to a Facebook profile or page, LinkedIn profile, group or company page or Twitter… Original blog post: http://business.toddlohenry.com/2013/11/12/managing-google/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrQrlj1_WBA

Friends+Me allows you to schedule reposts of Google+ posts to other social networks.

Paymill is an excelent company with a great product and amazing support but their annual subscription support is very limited and that is something Braintree will help us out with. How does it concern you? If you subscribed to Friends+Me using a credit card before 1 November, you will receive an email with further instructions to migrate your credit card to our new payment provider Braintree. Thank you and we are sorry for any inconvenience this migration may cause to you.
