UPDATE: Official KashTech page on Google+ is LIVE! Add us to your Circles now!
Google announced their new “Pages” feature to Google+ on their blog. The theme of their blog post centers around being able to connect with all the things you care about. Google+ Pages have been a long time in the making and are similar to the group and business pages you see on Facebook. They allow you to socialize with your favorite brands and businesses, in addition to people.
Organizations can go to plus.google.com/pages/create to start their new page. Though they said the new “Pages” feature rolls out worldwide today, it doesn’t appear to be available everywhere just yet. When I tried to create a page earlier, I received the message picture below.
The addition of “Pages” allows businesses to interact with their customers in new ways. Customers can now +1 a page or add them to their circles so they can always see updates from them. Google seems to be embracing the philosophy of connecting to people. Here is a quote from their blog:

behind every page (or storefront, or four-door sedan) is a passionate group of individuals, and we think you should able to connect with them too.
Google shared the following video to introduce their new “Pages” feature
At present, there are currently only a handful of pages available, such as the band All American Rejects, NFL outfit the Phoenix Suns, allegedly still relevant WWE as well as the fashion outlet that is H&M. We keenly await the more interesting Pages of the likes of Metallica, Apple andActivision – publishers of the "OMG, we can’t wait!" release of Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare 3.
Google+ Pages will now be included in Google search results. Google has also introduced a “Direct Connect” feature for its search engine. For example, if you are an Angry Birds fan, then you can type a “+” symbol followed by Angry Birds in the search box and it will take you directly to their Google+ page. Apparently there are only a limited number of “Direct Connect” pages available at this time.
The Big G will be rolling the service out to any organization pretty soon, so stay tuned for the KashTech Google+ Page. As soon as Google allows it, rest assured we’ll be there!
You can follow us on Twitter, add to your circles on Google+, or join our Facebook fanpage to keep yourself updated on all the latest from Microsoft, Google and Apple.
