Question

I think it would be nice to have Google Plus as one of the share buttons.

Answer 1

Yeah! That would be a good idea!

Answer 2

Possibly, but then it can be overloaded with share buttons

Answer 3

so................

Answer 4

A few more share buttons, like Google Plus would not over load it. Also, Google/ Google Plus is huge. Why not add them?

Answer 5

I'm not so sure if google+ is widely used at all...

Answer 6

@EclipsedStar Google Plus is used a lot. Join and see all the Pages and Groups there to join. It really is an awesome place especially if you are into Tech/Science/Mathematics.

Answer 7

I have a Google+ and to be honest I don't see a lot of activity...but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. :)

Answer 8

What groups are you a member of?

Answer 9

Also, Google Plus is linked to all YouTube accounts. If you have a YouTub accound you have a Google Plus and vise versa. You clearly are not using Google + if you do not see a lot of activity

Answer 10

Here are some stats

Google + has a good share and is worth adding a social link

Answer 11

Exactly @Nixy
It is used with YouTube accounts

Answer 12

Yes and with Google Plus account. It is second among social networks. It beats twitter. If you are going to have social links one should at least have Facebook, Goolge + and Twitter

Answer 13

Really the more the better but I think those should be the three a site should have.

Answer 14

I'm not against this idea at all, but I was just inclined to bring up my personal experience with using Google+. I also took into account the number of friends I have that actually use that site. Yes, several use the YouTube aspect of it. However I am part of groups that some of my friends have made and I do not see a lot of activity. Again, I do not mean to go against it. It's just my experience.

Answer 15

Nice stats @Nixy :P

Answer 16

I just think that this site should be more about studying then actually spending time sharing stuff on kik. I know, you would get more help that way, but Open Study is about learning. I love the idea, I just think we should stick with Facebook and Twitter.

Answer 17

@DARTHVADER2900 This is a feedback from. This site is a "business" and a Google Plus share link will only HELP the business and it is easy to implement. Why limit to just those two?

Answer 18

Forum*

Answer 19

It isn't necessary.

Answer 20

What isn't necessary?

Answer 21

And I love the idea, it just isn't necessary.

Answer 22

Anything that will help your business is necessary.

Answer 23

Yeah, if you think Google+ isn't necessary, FB or twitter aren't really necessary either.

Answer 24

The CEO is busy with other things. She doesn't have time for this kind of thing. Like I said, its a great idea, I am not against, I just think we need to spend more time studying.

Answer 25

Ok, Darthvader you are trolling now lol

Answer 26

Trolling?

Answer 27

This is a good idea if you don't use Facebook or twitter ! This would be good for me because I only have google+.

Answer 28

Nice idea @Nixy

Answer 29

@mathman101 I have a facebook but I am on Google + a lot more and prefer to use my Google Plus. Also, my college uses Google services such as Google +/ Mail and where I work, we use Google services and we all have Google + accounts there too.

Answer 30

I was just saying this idea would be good for the people that don't have other accounts.

Answer 31

Yep!!! :-D

Answer 32

XD

Answer 33

Why did they put the twitter button and not google plus? People use google plus more.

Answer 34

I dont see how this benefits OS maybe you should explain WHY this would help IMPROVE OpenStudy.

Answer 35

Maybe because OS could have a Google+ account/email so people on Gmail and Google+ could maybe find out about OS from there?

Answer 36

ooo thats a good idea :) We shoudl spread Owls to every area possible :P not a bad idea :-)

Answer 37

:D

Answer 38

Yeah that is what I mean @pooja195 but this idea isn't so important this is just a.. well... a idea!

Its an idea you cant say that it is not important .

Answer 40

Hey @thomaster do you like the idea our beloved moderator.

Answer 41

O-o

Answer 42

XD

Answer 43

Hey! That is a nice way of saying that they are the special ones here on openstudy that check on us to see that nothing bad happens like spams or ect.

Answer 44

We should thank them!

Answer 45

Do people even use the facebook buttons?

Answer 46

I don't think so.

Answer 47

Nothing wrong with the idea but I don't think it would add anything as the facebook and twitter buttons are also rarely used.

Answer 48

Thomaster, how do you know they are rarely used?

Answer 49

So if they are rarely used why can't they put the google plus button?

Answer 50

Even if they are rarely used, all advertising of OS is a benefit. I would use Google Plus but not the others because I do not use the others. These share links help spread OS all over the internet and to thousand of people. The three main ones should be up there imo.
I would use the Google Plus one but it is not there so OS has missed out on me shareing and all my friends and followers from seeing a link to openstudy. Advertising is a powerful thing

Answer 51

liked the idea Boss :)

Answer 52

@Preetha

Answer 53

Yup. We do need to add that. But be mindful of the crowding problem. I am thinking about it...
