| Posted: 06 Jul 2011 07:37 AM PDT While Google+ does not have support for brands yet, news organizations have already smartly jumped into the fray, testing out what works and what doesn’t, while earning early followers. MSNBC.com’s +Breaking News site experimented yesterday during the Casey Anthony verdict, live-editing this post. One thing its experiment revealed is that, while you can update a post afterward — a great feature for news organizations and others — when you share and link to the post, it is frozen in time and the updates aren’t reflected in the shared version. Here is a list of some of the news organizations already on Google+ (thanks to WSJ’s Zach Seward): +ABC News Radio If you know of others please post in the comments! And for those wondering, Google does plan to add support for brands soon.

| Entenmann’s hijacks Casey Anthony #notguilty hashtag Posted: 05 Jul 2011 06:45 PM PDT As Twitter erupted today over the Casey Anthony verdict, Entenmann’s tweeted “Who’s #notguilty about eating all the tasty treats they want?!” The tweet spurred outrage over Entenmann’s insensitivity, causing the baked goods company to remove the tweet and send out an apology. The questionable tweet was actually sent out not by Entenmann’s but on behalf of it by its social media agency, Likable, which was trying to leverage the trending topic and claimed to not realize what the #notguilty hashtag was about. Irregardless, a hashtag that said #notguilty should be a red flag to anyone using social media to promote a brand. This is a good reminder on how important context is in the fast-moving world of social media. While getting attention and clicks are important, you shouldn’t do so at all costs. A few extra clicks gotten in the wrong way and in the wrong context could result in lasting damage to your brand. This goof is reminiscent of Kenneth Cole’s attempt to leverage the #cairo hashtag during the Egyptian revolution, which was also met with outrage and resulted in an apology:
Here is the tweet that Entenmann’s sent out today:
And here are the apologies: Our #notguilty tweet was insensitive, albeit completely unintentional. We are sincerely sorry.  @Entenmanns Entenmann's Sorry everyone, we weren't trying to reference the trial in our tweet! We should have checked the trending hashtag first. @Entenmanns Entenmann's
Afterward, Likeable issued its own apology: “The truth is, our team was leveraging the trending topics and moving so fast they neglected to see what the hashtag was related to,” says Likeable’s David Kerpen.

| Hanging Out with Sergey Brin on Google+ Posted: 30 Jun 2011 06:12 AM PDT The smartest, most compelling feature on Google+ might be the video chat “Hangouts.” I popped in my first one yesterday and Google co-founder Sergey Brin was one of the other 9 folks in the room. He was asking about what folks thought of the service so far and wanted to try it out for himself. Good for him. For anyone who has used corporate video conferencing, the Hangouts will have a familiar feel, where the camera shifts from person to person based on who is talking (the loudest!). Neither Twitter nor Facebook have anything like this. Google+ could differentiate itself easily and quickly by making itself the destination for social video experiences. Group video chat is a fantastic feature and could easily evolve in many ways. So far the Google+ implementation seems to work very smoothly. Once nice feature is you can play YouTube videos in the video chat. I’d love to see a recording feature built-in and a few other things, but most importantly, it seems to work seamlessly. So far Google+ is off to a good start, far better than Google’s previous efforts, Google Wave and Google Buzz. The interest has been so tremendous that Vic Gundotra, Google’s social media boss, said late last night, ”We’ve shut down invite mechanism for the night. Insane demand. We need to do this carefully, and in a controlled way. Thank you all for your interest!” (Once they open up invites again, I’m happy to invite you if you are interested — please leave your email in the comments below and I will do my best!) In the meantime, for a more detailed look at some of the other features, I’d recommend these reviews from Search Engine Land and ReadWriteWeb (which, by the way, deserves huge kudos for breaking the news of Circles three months ago).
