Google+



Wow, Now the war has begun!! like twitter, facebook buttons in the share portion on web, the +1 button are positioned to grab the users to google. Google has unveiled its new social networking tool Google+. After i signed into google+ i found confounding things like streams, circles, sparks, hangouts etc...and my mouse rolled by for two minutes and i found google+ contains the important features of twitter and facebook, which leads  real-life social interactions. By using this Google Plus for a day i came to know what is google+.

WHAT IS GOOGLE PLUS?
  • It is a social networking service in beta phase, in which users can join by invitation only
  • Social circles allow selective interaction; the number is unlimited
  • Web conferencing option for up to 10 participants
  • Instant upload of photos, pictures on Google+
  • ‘Huddle’ turns different chats into a group chat
  • Google Plus would soon release mobile applications for Android and iPhones
         I found Google, however, has its work cut out. Facebook leads the global social media networking pack, with nearly 750 million users (including 500 million active users), followed by LinkedIn (around 100 million), Twitter (around 75 million), the 100-odd million Orkut (Brazil and India accounting for most users) and MySpace, with 30 million-odd users. I think the main reason for this new social network fromm google is owing to the failed attempt of orkut, waveand google buzz.
        
         Just one day after its announcement, tech world is busy with Google+ project's review. The big question is, Will it can beat Facebook?. For those who are worried about the security issues in Facebook, Google+ is the answer.
