So what does this development mean for employers? For the time being, not a lot—the Google+ network is still in testing mode and participation is by invitation only. In the long run, however, Google+ has the potential to alter the landscape of information available on social media. Unlike Facebook, where a comment on an individual's wall could be seen by every "friend" on the network, Google+ users choose the individuals with whom they wish to share information.
Given the persistent complaints about user privacy on social networking sites such as Facebook, Google+ has a good chance to succeed where other social networking start-ups have failed. However, it remains to be seen whether this development is a good thing for employers.
