Google+ a plus service not just for fun
| August 19, 2011 | Posted by cdriga under General |
Exploring the new Google Plus service (Google+) these days. While still in testing phase, the service seems promising both as a virtual place for having fun and to hangout with your buddies, but especially as a tool for business.

A fresh start to cdriga’s today using the great features WordPress has to offer. The main reason for this change was the lack of support for categories at Blogger (http://www.blogger.com), otherwise it’s a pretty good service. My other blog (http://cdriga.blogspot.com) is no longer maintained.
