Google Announces Google+ Social Network to Compete with Facebook


Finally, Google has introduced Google+ social network as an answer to Facebook to take it down and to be the new king of social networks. Although Google have tried before with Buzz and Wave, however, both have failed to attract users to use them because of the limitation they got. Now, Google+ seems to be provide the ultimate social network  experience we have been looking and waiting for.

Google+ offer several unique features that we always wished to be available in Facebook, such as group chat, video chat and categorizing your friends into groups so we can share different thoughts to each set of groups. Here is a quick tour of some of Google+ features.


+Circle
As our relationship differs from one person to another, it would be great if we can control what to share and who to share. We normally share stuff with our closed friends and colleagues, but how about your boss?. You definitely wont share anything private with hem, and that's why Google+ introduced Circle, where you create different circles and add the appropriate type of people in each, so you can share the right stuff to the right people without a hassle.


+Hangout
It has been always to set up a meeting online with your friends, Hangout is Google's approach for unplanned face-to-face meeting. With Hangout, you basically says that you are a free and willing to hangout, so friends can stop by and have a video chat with you, also, all friends within a circle can join the chat and make it an amazing un-scheduled hangout !!.


+Huddle
Huddle is a group messaging experience featured by in Google+. All friends in a circle can chat, plan and schedule their activities to make it easy to coordinate with each other. Friends who didn't attend the active chat, can come later, review what happened and know what's going on.


+Mobile
With the increase use of mobile phone on our daily life, this gadget become a must-have accessory. It's always online, thus, ready to share location, messaging and videos with ease. With +Mobile, you can share the location when you post updates (up to you) so people can know where you are. Additionally, all picture and video taken by the phone's camera are  instantly uploaded to a private folder in your Google+ account, where you can set a permissions who can see them.


Availability
Google+ still in beta, and you cannot use it unless invited. If you need an invitation, like us on Facbook and Twitter and leave your email in the comments. (Sorry, Google has reached the threshold, we no longer able to send invitation)
