Google has just launched their new social network called Google Plus. Google+ offers some cool features and I wanted to share some of my first impressions.
- Circles: The way you can organize friends is impressive with their simple drag and drop feature. It also lets you share information more effectively by only sharing to certain circles.
- Hangout: Although I haven’t video chatted yet, I think that Google’s video chat application is a going to be a big success when more people are joined. Google hangout allows you to talk with up to 10 people and also has a sweet camera switching feature that changes to who is talking. This can be great for socializing, collaborating or group projects.
- +1 button: The plus one feature is going to be great tool to utilize when saving links you like searching Google. It will also be a strong way to see what your friends like when the site grows.
Overall, Google Plus is still a beta version. I like the simplicity of the site and think it loaded with a lot of cool features. It has a lot of potential to grow and improve but, it’s definitely not a counter to Facebook by any means thus far. If anyone needs an invite to try it, feel free to email me.
Please add me! Thanks
Agreed on all counts. its good but not competition for facebook.
I couldn’t agree with you more Ford. I added you also Jordan.
