Some people still don’t understand just how incredibly useful Google Plus’s Circles can be. Google+ is not a Facebook or Twitter clone, but rather a communications platform which can be used just like any of those competitors and than some. For instance, a post can be published and directed in many ways depending on just who you want to see it.

- Share it with the “Public,” it’s like a blog post.
- Share it with your “Circles” it’s like a tweet or Facebook post.
- Share it with your “Customers” Circle it’s a business newsletter.
- Share it with your “Employees” Circle and it’s an internal company memo.
- Share it with your Wife, it can be a simple private letter to your her.
- Share it with yourself only, and it’s a reminder/to do list/bookmark/diary.
- Use Google+ as a free Newsletter Application (No Need for Aweber any more)
- Use Google+ as a Dating Site (Eventually if more search options are added it could rival PlentyofFish or Match.com)

Never before have we seen a way to share online, that is as versatile as Google+ The power of the network is simply unbelievable, and this is why I feel we will soon see Google+ adopted by the mainstream. It easily can take the place of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Email, Bookmarks, and Aweber (Newsletter system) from a utility point of view. How are you using Circles to organize your outgoing communications? Let’s hear your unique approaches to the innovative social network! Just want to say thanks to Mike Elgan for inspiring this post.
