Google Plus - Google +


Google Launches Google Plus to battle facebook .

Complete blueprint of the Google Plus service is based on five key features. The most prominent of these Circles, Sparks, Hangout, Huddle and instant uploading to other facilities.


With Google+, users easily share information based on the circle of friends they think would most like to see a photo or read a message, such as immediate family or people who like a certain hobby or sports team. 

Once users sign up, they have a profile page with security settings that let them share or hide personal information, such as education or job descriptions. Contacts are suggested based on user e-mail accounts.

The service integrates Google’s maps and images, seeks to help people organise social contacts easily within groups of friends.

Google+ features include Sparks, which gathers videos and articles on topics of interests or hobbies, and Hangouts, which lets friends join video chat with multiple people at once.
However, what Google hopes will differentiate its social network from Facebook is that Google+ would allow users to communicate within separate groups of their online friends. Instead of posting an update that goes out to everyone, Google+ allows users to create "circles" or groups.

There is also a mobile version of Google+ for handsets running the Android software, and the company is seeking approval from Apple Inc to introduce a service for the iPhone. 

The mobile version enables text-message chats with multiple users and, with an opt-in, photos and videos are automatically stored in an online album for later access.
