So, it's been 24 days since Google Plus launched. I quit blogging about these over-hyped releases a long time ago. Couldn't keep pace with those who are so under-employed they blog 30 seconds after the baby pops out.

But I digress...

Are you sick of Google Plus yet? Sick of reading about it? Sick of avoiding it? Sick of using it?

I've seen (and ignored) countless blog posts pontificating about Google Plus. The best posts I've seen are those reminding you to not get your panties in a bunch over Google Plus. My favorite are the posts calling BS on "How to Use Google Plus" webinars and "Best Practices" articles.

Here, I'll tell you how to use Google Plus: Just like you use all the other tools.

It's that damn simple.

If you help people on your blog, help 'em on Google Plus.
If you talk about trends in your industry on Twitter, do it on Google Plus.
If you're a name-dropper on Facebook, be a name-dropper on Google Plus.

You don't need a blog post titled "Top 10 Tips for Using the Crapper" every time a new toilet comes out. It's a crapper...use it the same way you used the last one. Your bathroom "strategy" doesn't need to change: Shower, shave, brush your teeth, use the john...stick with what worked in the last bathroom.

So, if you're like me and sick of hearing about Google Plus, just unplug.
