Have you used Google+ yet?

I’ve been using Google+ for a while now. I like the format and usability much more than Facebook. Facebook is more for personal stuff while Google+ seems to be a lot less “noisy”.

We’ve also just recently set up a page for UltraFast Communications. It’s very much in its infancy. Much more to be done in the next few weeks. It’s here

It seems everyone is going to need a Google+ page if they want to stay relevant in the search rankings. That’s a post for another day.

The reason for this post was that Dennis Labelle from Google has posted a whole lot of short video links that show you how to use Google+. I wish I’d had these when I first started using Google+

Small businesses urged to be vigilant as Queensland businesses attacked with ransom virus

These “ransom viruses” aren’t new but they have the potential to be devastating to any business. Make sure that every IT component in your business is locked down tight.

If you’re in ANY doubt, ask your IT people. UltraFast has all the latest tools and info if you need any help.

This is probably the only time you’ll see me post a message from the Police 🙂

10 ways Android beats the iPhone 5 – GadgetBox on NBCNews.com

This is a good article. As a point of interest, my wife has had iPhones for the last couple of years and she has just started using a Samsung Galaxy S3. She’s not finding the transition an easy one though.

I think there are lots of things that make the S3 a better device but for straight out ease of use and intuitiveness…… I’m not sure. I’m happy to fiddle around with settings and apps but if you’re not, then the iPhone might be a better choice. You can’t argue with the numbers and plenty of people like the iPhone.
