      Who Is Using Facebook? 

     Victoria Secret is currently using their Facebook page to advertise the new Gorgeous! bra. There

      is a post of the advertisement and a link to "Shop Now". I think this is a great way for VS to

      advertise. Here in Adrian there is not a VS, so I can be updated on what is new.

      Nike is currently using it's Facebook page to offer a limited edition shoe called The 2011 Nike 

      MAG. All the proceeds go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation of Parkinson's Research. 

Who Is Using Google Plus?

Ford Motor Company has used Google Plus to debut it's one and only e-bike. The company 

uploaded a picture and link for viewers to learn more about the creation. The bike is electrical 

and for short distance commuting. 

PC World is using Google Plus to communicate with members. For example, there was an article

posted, "Google Warns 1 Million PCs hit by Search Hijack". This is keeping the public informed

and will hopefully save a few people some dangers.
