Google has unveiled its new project Google+. Which many people think is
its answer to Facebook. So What exactly is Google+? Google+ is a project
which turns Google into one giant social network. Google+ contains some
new innovative features. I got an Google+ invitation so decided to test
it and share the experience and features with my readers. Here are all
the features of Google+ :
Google+ Stream
It is similar to Facebook news feed. You can share you thoughts,
photos, videos and much more by streaming it to various groups. You can
even stream or share the content or links with the users who are not
using Google+ by emailing them.
Google+ Circles
This is a one of the good features which is present in Google+.
Google+ Circles allows you to create groups or lists of people which is
far more easier than creating Facebook Friend List or Twitter List. It
features a drag and drop functionality to add people to a specific
group. By Default there are 4 Groups namely Friends, Family,
Acquaintances and Following. But you can create more such groups and add
people to it accordingly. This can really help in sharing of
information with specific group. For instance you can create a group
College and share information with only Members of Group College. Though
it is similar to Facebook groups but sharing is more simpler since
while streaming only you are given an option to share with specific
groups or to share will everyone.
Google+ Profiles
Google+ profile uses and import your existing data from Your Google
Account. Your profile contains tabs like post, about , photos, videos
and much more. More or less its similar to Facebook profiles.
Google+ Hangout
Google+ Hangout is one of the innovative feature which allows you to
have fun with all your circles using webcam. When you start a hangout
with a circle a post is published published on your wall which allows
more users to join the hangout.
Google+ Mobile
Google+ is also available for your mobile and for more information check
Google+ For Mobile.
Google+ Photos
When you join Google+ it will import your photos from you Picasa
account which you can share with your friends. You can upload and share
new photos with everyone or some specific circles. To see photos of your
friends which they have shared you need to add them to your circle.
