Google+ for Apps Accounts is Here!

It’s finally here!  Google+ for Google Apps accounts is a reality! I’ve been a Google+ user since it first launched, and I really like it.  The only issue I had with it was that I couldn’t use my Apps account (which is the only Google account I use on a regular basis), and had to …
