To Google+ Or Not To Google+ For Bands

Right now 10′s of millions of people are flocking to Google+. This means many musicians are wondering how you can market your music on it. Google is telling bands, brands and musicians to hold off on making accounts since they will be making their version of Facebook Pages soon enough. That isn’t stopping many bands though, and if you have a Gmail account for your group you can start adding fans to them and later on when Facebook gives us its solution for Pages you can direct your fans there.  UPDATE: Looks like it may be a bad idea. If you are hearing this and moaning about how you can’t stand the idea of updating another social network Lifehacker has an article up that will tell you how to make this painless!
