Google Privacy
You may not be aware of this, but Today Google has announced that as from
January 22nd 2019
It is chaging its privacy protection and Terms of Service.
Who is affected?
People who live in
European Union, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, & Norway, will be affected by these chnages and this is covered by Google Ireland
You can read the Privacy Policy Here
You can read the Updated Terms of Service Here
The essence of what this is about is to do with y/our security effectively and also coincides with the closure of Google+
For the most part, nothing will change dramatically at all, but it is about giving us slightly more control over our content and business use
I wasn't aware of this myself until I logged in and saw the message, and hence this blog
You will know that Google recently had a data glitch, affecting a number of its users, which culiminated in the decision to close Google+ ..
Ironically, Google+ is now getting much more useage, which seems a tad pointles when it is going to be removed
Personally I liked and loved it, but will be using other Media now instead of and my metrics and tracking will dictated which channels I use
But there we have it
Enjoy your day

Thanks for sharing the info Dave.
It's important to start testing other channels when all these while you are using G+ for sharing your content and engagement.

I hate to hear that that Google + is being deleted from Google. I have been on + for a long time. I had three pages on different subjects, but if you cannot protect your users it should be be shut down. One thing about the net it is an ever changing place and will keep changing. You have to change with it.

You do David, the good thing is that there is enough training here on other channels, that that area is covered, thanks for commenting and also nice to meet you
I guess we will come under it for a few months at least!!! Who knows at the moment!!!!!
Good to know though.
We have been pinning some stuff to Pinterest this last week or so and the engagement has gone way up.
I have to admit Pinterest is doing okay for me now as well, once you get that Rhythm going Jon, its easier

You the way we think is when something is about to close down or taken away people we start using it or going to the store before it closes. That is just the way we are.
When these department stores close everyone in its Uncle comes to the store to buy what is left in the store but when it was open they wouldn't go to that store.
It is the same with Google + now that it is closing down people are going to use it heavily until it shuts down.
I am not using it right now I am just using Pinterest myself. I don't know if I want to use the other social media.

I totally agree with you, Mary!
