'Surprised how many people are still in the dark about Google's highly-successful social media platform: Google Plus. I run a regular tweet campaign asking people to join my G+ Voiceover Community, and often get the question "What is G+"? [More about VO communities on Google below.] If you have...

Put Your Demo on Google+
How many times have I said lately, that Google + is the future of Social Media? I might even be right! 🙂 SoundCloud is also a form of social media that is ascending to a safe place as the de facto program for embedding or linking to audio (much as YouTube serves that purpose for video). That's...
