Google Plus (aka G+ or Google+) is Google's most recent answer to Facebook. And, by all means, Google Plus appears better equipped than Google's previous efforts (i.e. Google Buzz, Orkut, Wave) to challenge Facebook's social networking reign.

Social users also stay engaged longer, increasing advertising exposure. And Google would love to reclaim some of the advertising that has gravitated to Facebook in recent years.

CMA loved having Elizabeth as an intern for the summer! Elizabeth's role was to assist with all aspects of video production.

One new artist will be added every week until the program concludes on September 4th.
