At the time of writing Google+ and Pinterest are the newest kids on the block as far as social media are concerned and every time there is something new we're all left wondering whether or not we should be using them in our marketing activities or not. The problem is that we all have a limited amount of time and we can't do everything.
With that in mind it's important that you target what time you do have in the right area. Over the next couple of pages I briefly discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of both. (You may have already found others) and I leave you with some things to think about
I can't make up your mind for you, but I hope that this resource will help to clarify some of your thinking.

Thank you for the useful information. I am a bit more familiar with Pinterest and because my niche(travel) is suitable for sharing images, I will create an account.
But I am also convinced of the advantages of using Google+. I tried to create an account, but it doesn't allow me to use the name of my site. I read somewhere, that the companies first need to create a personal profile and then add the company's page(like in FB) to it. Any thoughts on this? :) Thanks again! Lili

Thanks for commenting.
I'm not sure I necessarily agree with you. If you try to use Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, You Tube, Pinterest that takes a lot of work and is not necessarily an effective use of people's time.
So as Google+ and Pinterest are the newest ones, I think some people may at this stage want to choose. I hear lots of people saying they have various accounts in the different social media but haven't found the time to use them or unsure of the benefits.
Better to use one or two effecifiently and one that brings benefits to your business than using one or more poorly.
