Google+ business pages still coming soon, but not real soon

Reading Time: < 1 minute

One other tidbit from the web 2.0 summit — business pages are getting closer, but are more than “a few days” away.  Google is said to be “overwhelmed” by the interest in business profiles and they’re working on getting all of the pieces in place for them.

The fact that Google said they’re coming “imminently” but “not in a matter of days” leads me to think they’re probably a few weeks out.  I’m hoping we see them released before Thanksgiving.

In any case, I think it’ll bring a surge of traffic to Google+ as millions of small businesses sign up.  Whether they stick around will be a big key to the long term success (or failure) of Google+.
