Now that timeline is applicable to personal and business pages will Google+ see a surge of traffic due to those who want to differentiate themselves and their businesses? Thoughts?

I don’t think so. Businesses that have pages on Facebook will have by now a user community that they won’t (well, shoudln’t) abandon. Plus, businesses concerned about SEO and search engine rankings will have built their G+ pbusiness profile already and will have their user community there as well. So I guess it’s very unlikely that we’ll see a mass migration to Google+

@ryrussell I agree with @alexandrevicente – but I certainly have been looking at Google+ more now.

@devanianjali @alexandrevicente Absolutely, 100%. I just wonder if businesses are going to promote G+ more now.

Flocking to Google+ should not be motivated by what Facebook does or doesn’t do. It’s an entirely different platform. @alexandrevicente Is correct to say that business should “have their user community there as well”
That’s why I want to encourage @annfurnivall and others to rethink your motivation for engaging G+. It is wrong to say if my community follows me. In fact my experience is that most of them will NOT follow you. But there is a new community waiting at G+ to welcome you with open arms. Think of it as two separate communities both being funneled into your inbound.

What’s to run away from in Timeline? I am not understanding the negative.

i never hear a word about google + in my real life community, my brick and mortar business, .and i hear about facebook every day..so i have to assume that others in my target market . who would be like my current customers also arent on google +… i am face to face with my community and they just arent on google+ …. i would know…..thats why i dont bother with it,….. .. @jasonwiser i dont see much evidence that its catching on at all..but i will try it when i need to..
