Google has introduced Google+ Pages, an element of its Google+ social network that has been much anticipated by corporate brands. Pages provides a public placeholder on the Google+ network for any entity -- not just companies. A sports club like FC Barcelona, for example, could have its own page. Or a band -- such as alternative music group The All-American Rejects. Anderson Cooper 360 is another early adopter.
