Entrepreneurial Hubs and Innovation Centers Needed By Brian Calle, Orange County Register To wait for government intervention or bailouts or even sane public policies to help jump start the economy would be foolhardy, especially in California where just this week the state's controller announced the Golden State faces a $1.5-billion cash gap. A revived economy and fixes to public woes are more apt to come from private interests. One of the best ways to spur economic growth might be to create more opportunities for private entrepreneurial interests to gather, exchange ideas and collaborate. Silicon Valley has been particularly organized and astute about assembling the top creative minds in informal settings for such idea exchanges, but the state could benefit from similar hubs. One such hub seems to be starting in Orange County; it should, considering OC, is home to major technology firms like Broadcom and large bio powerhouses such as Allergan. Last week, about 40 prominent Orange County entrepreneurs and executives met to mingle and discuss their current ventures on Thursday evening at Ferrari and Maserati of Newport Beach. Anderee Berengian, Managing Director of RezVen Partners LLC, a firm that advises and invests in early stage companies, crafted the idea because he believes there is a void of idea exchanges among private sector innovators in the county. "We need more opportunities for local entrepreneurs and executives to simply get together to talk, share ideas and support one another," he said. "Events like that are commonplace in Silicon Valley and help spur collaboration."

Why Companies Should Invest in Google+ Brand Pages By Mashable As the lines between search engine optimization and social media continue to blur and form one synergistic effort, it is critical that both small and large companies stay up to date with new opportunities for spreading brand awareness and connecting directly with their audiences. When Google makes a move in the social space, it's important to pay attention to, understand, and identify how the offering can and should be leveraged for your business. With the recent announcement of Google+ brand pages, many people may be saying, "My business is already active on Facebook and Twitter, why should I bother with yet another social media channel?" This is a valid question due to the amount of time and resources that are required to effectively manage each social media channel. At the surface, Google+ brand pages may seem like just another Facebook with a fraction of the user base. However, there are a few unique elements that you should consider before writing it off. While it's true that Google+ does have a much smaller user base than Facebook (estimated at 40 million vs. 800 million), it doesn't necessarily mean you should ignore it and focus all of your efforts on Facebook. With fewer users comes less noise and more focus in the space. Facebook is packed full of updates from the recent integration of services like Spotify and The Washington Post, as well as games, "happy birthdays," and pictures of friends and family. Google+, on the other hand, seems to be driven more by content of a professional, informational, and industry-specific nature. Because of this, brands may be able to create a much more direct and personal relationship with their audiences. Click here for the full article.
