 Yet Again I am on a Completely Different Page

These last few weeks have been a buzz about Google + , with a huge amount of interest and press surrounding Googles latest and greatest. From Twit.tv to everyother tech podcast, radio show, you name it has been talking about Google +. Of course as is the norm for Gettysburg Gerry, I am on a comletely different page.

While I have been working with, well playing with Google + like everybody else, I have been spending the lions share of my time on a totally different site.  
Welcome to Visual.ly, a site that I believe a site that will change how people share information. In my mind, a way more important development than Google +.  What the heck is Visual.ly you may ask. Visual.ly in my mind has the potential to change everything.

We all know that visualization is a powerful tool, but not everybody has the design skills or the ability to afford expensive software to create a powerful visualization. Well that is where Visual.ly comes into play, it gives you the ability to create a portfolio from your Visual.ly profile. To me that is way more important and a much more useful tool than being able to populate circles, (sorry Google).

I am going have fun with this one I can tell already. Check it out for yourselves Visual.ly

Gerry,

On your recommendation I will check it out.  Must admit I have not even seen Google +, but heard you needed an invite.

Dagny and Ellie, good idea, I will put together some sort of tuturial, it is not fully up and there is some learning and playing time required, but think of Visual.ly as a way to use graphics to share information. A tutorial is a great idea. Thanks for making more for me LOL

Richard, + has some great stuff associated with it, definitely check it out, just google, google plus and you can get on now.

I am with Richard.  I can barely keep up and at some point just do what I can and don't sweat the things I cannot find time to do.

Gerry....it does sound like it could be really useful.  Since the others suggested you make a tutorial, I will just wait for that! :)

Did you wath the IMSD video on google+?  I think it's going to be a really great tool for google juice.  There is no doubt that +1's will effect your rank.  Visua.ly looks like a cool platform too but it's hard not to pay attention to google.
