Google has announced that Google Apps are now available with Google Plus. This means that if you’re a Google Apps user, whether you use the paid Business version or just the free version, you can now turn on Google Plus for your organization, and all your users will have the access and ability to get started on the Google Plus social network.
Google Apps Users Now Able To Join Google Plus
When Google Plus first opened to the public, it was still unavailable to Google Apps users, which was a point of frustration for many who wanted to get in. It might not be as big as that initial rush, but I think Google Plus is about to have another surge in membership.
Some Google Apps users are university students, but a great majority are small, medium, and large businesses, utilizing it to power email and other important day-to-day business functions. And now Google Plus can just naturally slide right into that environment.
One of the biggest advantages Google Plus has in gaining new users is their ability to reach millions of eyeballs to advertise the social network by making use of their many other popular services. I imagine the company will quickly find a way to make an obvious “sign up for Google Plus” notice throughout Google Apps to help spread the word.
Google Apps users who have already signed up will even have an option to port their current Google Plus account over to their Google Apps account. Sweet.
