Social media has grown rapidly all over the world. With the surge of social media sites happening, came Google+, a combination of an extension of your Gmail and your Google profile. If you share something on Google+, you're more likely to want your friends and family to see your post. You can even share the link on your account so others can see the new recipe or the fun song, for example. Fortunately, sharing links on Google+ is easy, both on your phone and on your computer.
