Google+

Description

A quick look at Google+

Google+ makes connecting on the web more like connecting in the real world. Share your thoughts, links and photos with the right circles. Use easy, spontaneous video chat to strike up conversations with as many as nine people at once. Get everyone on the same page with fast, simple group chat. We're very excited about the new approach to sharing we've created through Google+, but this is really just the beginning.

Circles

You share different things with different people. But sharing the right stuff with the right people shouldn't be a hassle. Circles make it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself, just like real life.

Google + is relatively new compared to other famous social networks. I have used it for about 6 months. It is good in that you can create pages and follow people (though other networks do this). I like the fact that you can add people and organisations to circles depending on how close you are to the person and whether or not they are a real friend. There is a clear option to share information and updates only with circles you have chosen (or all of them). I follow Google Education, which is very American–which is great if you are in America.

There is a useful option of using +1 to share your choice of webpages with others where you would recommend them.

It is early days, I am sure that Google+ will be used by more and more people over time, and in turn, this will make it more successful. As Google is an incredibly popular search engine, the way Google+ links into this should make it very popular.
