Colleges laud Google+ age restriction change, safety features


Tomika DePriest, a spokeswoman for Spelman College in Atlanta, which uses Google Apps for Education, said the college hadn’t focused its social-media efforts on Google’s network because Spelman students haven’t gravitated to the site.

“We have not placed a stake in Google+ as an official college channel because our focus is on being where our constituents are mostly represented,” she said. “When it comes to prospective students and current students, Facebook rules. Twitter is gaining some traction, but the volume is not significantly high.”
