Google+

Lately there has been a lot of buzz on Twitter about Google+. I figured I would go and get some information on this new Google project and fill you all in.
What is Google+
Google+ is Google's version of Facebook plain and simple. It could very well end Facebook in the same fact that Facebook destroyed Myspace. However Google+ is not out yet and is only available to a limited amount of people for the field trial of this new "Social Networking" site. (I hope it doesn't have Farmville, Cityville, or anything "Ville")

Features of Google+
Google+ has 5 major features that are going to stand out and be very good for Social Networking purposes. Here are the five and a little about them.

1. Circles
• Circles allows you to place friends, family, coworkers, etc. into different groups that way you share information and posts to only those particular people.
2. Sparks
• Sparks allows you to customize and pick news that is relevant to you and your interest.
3. Hangouts
• Hangouts will be a neat video chat feature. You can video chat with up to 10 friends all at once.
4. Instant Upload
• Instant Upload will automatically upload your pictures & videos from your phone directly to a private album on your Google+ account. All you have to do is go online and decide who you want to send them to.
5. Huddle
• Huddle allows you to take a group of people and chat all together. Google gives an example on their site about how hard it is to get 6 people to decide on what movie to see. Huddle would get everyone on one "page" for quick decision making.

I am actually looking forward to this new Social Networking site. It looks to be easy to use and easy to navigate. Here is a direct link to an interactive tour that Google has put together http://www.google.com/intl/en-US/+/demo/
