What Google+ “Pages” Don’t Have

The Google+ pages are a very simple start that at first glance looks almost immature (we have become accustomed to what is now a very complex Facebook platform.)


What must be kept in mind is that any social network is a “work in progress” that will continue to develop and grow.

So some of the “missing” essential features that people have become accustomed to on Facebook may appear in time as Google+ pages “grow up

1. Multiple Admin

This is not currently available but is coming apparently.

2. Custom Vanity URL’s

Just like Facebook when it launched its pages you were given a very big “number” not your name or brand. There is no information on when that might change.

3. Google+ Fans will not be able to Post Directly to a Wall

Currently you cannot post directly to a page but only offer comments on a post.

4. Google+ Pages do not Allow “Games”

I don’t know about you but I am not going to be shedding tears about this feature not being included.

5. You Don’t have to Verify you are a Company or Business

At this stage you don’t have to validate your company credentials (I am sure this is an initial expediency measure to ensure fast take-up).

Google+ will be providing verification badges in the future that will assist in ensuring brand “pages” credibility.

6. Pages Cannot Follow People

You can only follow people after they have first been followed as distinct from Twitter’s rules
