Google+, as it stands now, is for individuals–not businesses (hey, at least that's eligible with their "concrete names" policy). Ford's and Mashable's accounts were ulterior restored, and Google said it would let a "petite" number of businesses to keep their profiles.

Of row, this doesn't mean Google isn't (supposedly) planning something blown-up for businesses–Google has said that a business edition of Google+ is coming, and that companies just need to be a little patient.

Meanwhile, Facebook has apparently seized this opening and distinct to run with it. Facebook's newfangled "Facebook for Business" page features a step-by-footprint walkthrough on how to employ Facebook to help build your small concern. This includes guides on how to set up a Facebook "Paginate" for your business, how to promote your line of work with ads, how to drive dealings to your site using "Sponsored Stories," and how to postulate people, create a personalized mobile experience, and soma apps on Facebook's platform.

In for, IT's nothing new–IT's basically retributive a accessible small business direct to Facebook, just it does seem alike Facebook is telling the world that they'rhenium ready to welcome businesses, eve if Google ISN't.

Ok, so what Facebook is really telling the global is this (in an electronic mail to GigaOm on Tuesday): "Facebook allows small businesses to make rich social experiences, soma lasting relationships and amplify the most powerful typecast of merchandising–word of mouth. We created Facebook.com/business to give it evening easier for people to reach these objectives and grow."
