To add more to the pain of other social network, Organisations will not be charged to use the scheme and Google says it will not put adverts on their pages.

Burberry, Barcelona football club and the Muppets are some of the organisations taking part in the launch.
Google says the service offers more than a shop window.
It says organisations can benefit from adding a "+" link to one of the adverts listed on the firm's results or to another marketing campaign. The page owners can then monitor how many people are clicking through to their Google+ page and where they clicked from.
However, Google says it will not pass on individual IP addresses or any other personal data.
Organisations will be able to use the site's Circles facility to match different information to different groups. They can also set up video chats with up to nine other users using the network's Hangouts service.
