Flashstreamworks is now available as Facebook page and as recently introduced Google+ page (go ahead and like it, or add it to your circle).

In case you missed it, Google+ recently introduced pages, a way to “connect will all the things you care about“. What is interesting is the direct connection into Google search via “Direct Connect”, which might become an interesting commercial use of Google+.

Direct Connect from Google search

People search on Google billions of times a day, and very often, they’re looking for businesses and brands. Today’s launch of Google+ Pages can help people transform their queries into meaningful connections, so we’re rolling out two ways to add pages to circles from Google search. The first is by including Google+ pages in search results, and the second is a new feature called Direct Connect.

Maybe you’re watching a movie trailer, or you just heard that your favorite band is coming to town. In both cases you want to connect with them right now, and Direct Connect makes it easy—even automatic. Just go to Google and search for [+], followed by the page you’re interested in (like +Angry Birds). We’ll take you to their Google+ page, and if you want, we’ll add them to your circles.

Here is a more colorful video what this means for your customers, but overall an interesting competing offering to Facebook’s pages.
