Google Debuts Google+ For Businesses

TechCrunch: Google is rolling out a public preview of new enterprise-focused features for its Google+ social network. Those features include support for restricted sharing options; video meetings integrated with other Google products like Gmail, Calendar and Docs; and additional administrative controls within Google+. Back in December, Google’s Amit Singh promised, “We are going to do the same thing with Google+ that we’ve done with Gmail, and other consumer-facing apps so that Google+ can be adopted in more of enterprise setting.”

Enterprises that use Google Apps can access the new Google+ features for free through the end of 2013. Google also plans to add more business-friendly capabilities to the social networking service over time.
