Google Tests Third Party Tools To Manage Google+ Page [adwords.blogspot.com]

So today we're announcing that Google+ is enabling six companies to test Google+ functionality in their management tools -- Buddy Media, Context Optional, Hearsay Social, Hootsuite, Involver, and Vitrue.

These companies will offer a subset of their clients the ability to manage circles, publish to Google+, and monitor usage.

We are currently working with these companies so that we can experiment and get feedback. They were selected based on their extensive experience helping brands and businesses manage and analyze their presence on social networks. If you’re a social media management company interested in working with Google+, get in touch with us.
