Recently someone replied to one of my maxtrescott.com blog articles that they hadn’t seen me posting as often to my blog and they wondered why. There are several reasons, but a big one is that I’m now spending a little more time posting on Google Plus and a little less time writing blog articles. So I would like to invite my blog readers to join me on Google+. That doesn’t mean my blog is going away…it just means that we can connect even more regularly elsewhere.
I find that it’s faster and easier for me to create on Google+ that to post a new blog article. Generally I post shorter comments on Google+ and longer comments on my blog. But I can use an unlimited number of words in each Google+ post, so eventually it could replace my blog. By the way, on Facebook, I’m limited to 500 characters, though I bet they'll change that soon. So I generally write new posts on Google+ and edit them down to fit on Facebook.
If you haven’t tried Google+, now’s a great time. For the past few months, you needed an invitation to use the service and I was lucky to get one from an acquaintance who works at Google HQ. But now it’s open to everyone. Just go to http://plus.google.com. Or use one of my 150 invitations by clicking on

Hope to be adding you to my Aviation Circle on Google Plus soon!
Pity … you’ll lose all of us readers who won’t use Google+.
Cliff, you’ll still get to read the things I post on the blog. If you or anyone else wants to receive my Google+ posts via email, just send me your email address. That way you can get copies without actually having to sign up for Google+.
