GooglePlus, Facebook, Twitter Posting Differences
I've noticed some interesting differences in the results of how I post on Google Plus, Facebook, and Twitter.
On Facebook I get the best results when I post an interesting picture, with my post and blog link as an add on. I also face the least amount of resistance in Facebook's software by using this method, which tends to mark me as spam if I post more than 5 or 6 links at a time.
With Google Plus, I get far better results when I hit the share button, which highlights my blog link. Posting the picture first, then adding the post and links basically gets me ignored.
Twitter has almost no pull when it comes to posting pictures.
Comparing the pull power of the 3 social sites is interesting also, especially when I observe the long term results.
After I got the hang of the fast paced Twitter, Twitter produced the heaviest returns on posting efforts during my first full calendar year, 2010. However, it's a tedious job cutting and pasting enough posts and links to get any results. posting has to be done repitively since Twitter suffers from short term memory loss.
Facebook gathered momentum in 2011 after, with God's merciful help, I got the feel of their software and momentum and started posting pictures with my posts and links included. To post links heavily like I did on Twitter gets me spammed by their software. It's also unnecessary as the pace of Facebook is glacially slow compared to Twitter and Google Plus.
In 2012, Google Plus is leaving them in the dust. Their pace is medium, in between Facebook and Twitters, but not so fast as to need massive, repetitive, mind deadening cutting and pasting. Their software helps, not hinders heavier posting.
The results of posting on Google Plus has been explosive! It appears that the ratio of Google Plus views, when I count in the Google Search results, is 20 to 1 compared to Twitter and Facebook combined. Their Search continues to deliver views to my blogs long after the post has expired. Some of my inactive blogs are still having views as high as 30% of when I actively posted.
I won't quit posting on Facebook, since all of my family and most of my friends are on that site. I won't quit posting to Twitter since it still has the ability to reach the least expensive dumb phones in 3rd world countries.
But my focus for this year and probably beyond will be on Google Plus.

Google laughing, Oracle glum
A tech reporter said, after the Phase One jury departed in a hung verdict, that the Google table was laughing while The ORACLE table was grim.
The debate is over 9 lines of code out of 15 million that Oracle said Google was copying.
The real driving force of behind Oracle's lawsuit is it's overblown fear of Google. They evidently can't sleep at night because of nightmares that Google will put them out of business overnight with a cloud based business system that will cost businesses 1/2 to 1/10th the amount Oracle charges for provided the same service.
They need not worry. Their cash cow doesn't need protecting. There will be plenty of people willing to drop large amounts of cash for real hold-in-your-hand slick machines with plenty of beck-and-call hand-holding high paid service representatives who can deliver the words you want to hear. (These machines make you look so COOL!) Apple and Microsoft have already proved that.
Google will also survive and thrive for two reasons. One is that they operate on an old well-proved business paradigm: Let the advertisers fund the projects. Works for radio, TV, and sports.
The second reason is more subtle. Google is providing a means for the Gospel to reach around the world to places formerly unreachable. I am a preacher/businessman, a Samaritan helping others while I run my little internet business. My messages have reached into 124 countries, including supposedly closed countries. I know because Google analysis tells me so, for free.
I am convinced God will protect that channel so He can accomplish His purpose, to spread the good news of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of His Son THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
If I'm right, no judge, or cabul of cash rich tech status-quo companies will be able to stop Google.

Strange Math of Friendship
The strange math of friendship: my friends multiply my joy, but divide and lighten my sadness.
Turned our backs
Because we've turned our back on You, Father, we've also turned our backs on the poor. Forgive us.
