Facebook has more than 7.5 million users and more than half of the active users updated their own page in Facebook everyday. However, the the world's number One search engine - Google couldn't extract and acquire the content within Facebook. Thus, perhaps they are planning a revenge on it.....X_X
Majority of the people like to compare the Google+1 button and Facebook 'likes' button. I love these two famous networking because Facebook is a super famous social networking whereas Google is more on search engine and it contribute tremendously advantages & benefits for us. And both make our life easier =D Google had launched gmail, google translate(My favorite!!), Google books etc.... By the way,they'd terminated Google Dictionary. =(
It's Okaayy, and finally, Google has launched its own social network, Google + aka Google Plus during the summer, which is a new social networking system positioned as a rival to Facebook O,O. By the way, Google Plus is under trial period now and Google is addressing that Google+ as a Project rather than a Product. Why? Because Project mean they can add new features and combined features if needed. =D
The following are some special elements which Google had put effort in the Project =)
Superb 1 : Circlesss!
Basically Google Circles is an interesting and cool feature! You can drag your friends, family and other contacts into an existing circle or new circle. Unlike Facebook, this Circles is built based on the concept of sharing material with groups of people. Here are the examples on how they look. =D
 |
| Drag contacts into a suitable group |
 |
| Drag more contacts at the same time |
 |
| Drop the friend out of the circle |
Superb 2 : Hangouts! (I like it!)
This is one of the coolest compelling feature in Google Plus and perhaps this is the best feature of the project. For your information, up to 10 people can interact through the video simultaneously. =) It brings convenient for you to chat provided you have webcam and mic! =)
You can talk to a bunch of friends at the same time without leaving your own place. Ain't a good news? =)
Or just have a webcam meeting if you have something to share or discuss with your buddies!

| Join the Hangout! |

| Webcam with a bunch of friends at the same time! |
With Instant Upload, you can upload your photos and videos in your mobile phone to a private/public album on Google Plus. Other than that, they have an instant upload feature and you can edit your photos through photos editor. Google Plus also allow you to integrate your existing Picasa account with your Google Plus account.
Superb 4 : Sparks!
Tell Sparks what you're looking for and it will send you stuff it thinks you'll like! So the function sound like a advanced "Favorite" button! =D So when you are free, there's always something cool to watch, read or share.
 |
| Search for information you looking for. :) |
Superb 5 : Huddle!
Huddle turns all difference conversations into one simple group chat, so everyone gets on the same page all at once. And Huddle is related to Hangout feature which I aforementioned just now, Hangout is a video chat whereas Huddle is a group text chat. You can install Huddle into Android & Iphone! =) But then this feature is quite similar to Facebook chat X(
 |
| Chat! |
Finally : Getting it!?
Well, the project is strictly invite only at the moment. =(Since they are developing and testing the project(I think they are looking for feedback and suggestion), so you still can't join it until further notice.
The scenario now is like Facebook defeat Myspace and Friendster few years before. lol
So let's see how things going on yay! =)

You can download applications via Chrome Webstore provided you have Google Chrome.
