The New Facebook? Understanding Google+

It seems that everyone has talked about Google + recently, a new social networking conglomerate developed by the Internet search engine giant Google. Even if the platform is still undergoing field testing and is available by invitation only, there is already a great buzz about the product. So, what makes it different from Google + Facebook, the current most popular social networking site?

Through its three main features - clubs, venues, and Sparks, Google is different because +
1) Gives the user's privacy as allowing him or her to be in full control of what is shared

2) Have a video chat feature group

3) Allows the user to identify content and not content merely share

For the crowd of Facebook in general those not familiar with Google +, here's a quick overview, the nuts and bolts of the new site.

The Current

Once the invitation arrived, (the word is that there are currently tens of millions of users, so ask around - it is likely that you probably know someone who is using it) just sign in with your Gmail, Picasa, or account Youtube. You will then be asked to create your personal profile, which consists of a profile picture, the introduction, education, employment, places lived, etc.

On the Home screen, there is a bar on the left side GChat and a black bar at the top of the page that connects with Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Photos, Reader, and Web. Below this, there are four cards that are very similar to Facebook: Home, Photos, Profile, and circles. Most of the screen is occupied by a live news feed with commentary and +1, or the "how" of your ability to work Circles. But wait - what exactly is this mechanism of "Circles" that continues to be referred?

Circles

One of the three main features of Google + is Circles.Cerchi allow you to sort your contacts into groups, including but not limited to friends, family, acquaintances, and then (like Twitter).Never go through your 1000 + friends on Facebook and some people do not know who they are and how did you meet? Do not be afraid - + Google will keep your contacts organized.

Also, look allows you to easily share messages and pictures with only a specific group of people. There is also the possibility of adding friends, without a Google Account for + a circle, which is sent to your e-mail messages. Giving the user control essentially every post shared Google + can be private or public as you want it.

Venues

the instrument is a function Hangout video chat. After downloading Google Voice and Video Installer, you have the opportunity to create a venue and invite up to ten people to chat on the net. Instead of planning sessions in advance of Skype, Google + post that you are "hanging out" streaming live and gives others a chance to jump Another interesting feature is the possibility of meeting places for groups to look Youtube videos or movies together.

A similar application to venues, Huddle function allows users to group chat via text. This can be useful for the creation of plans for the night or make decisions on a project related work.

Sparks

Sparks not only allows you to share content, but also to discover it. Typing your interests in the Sparks page that appears in the sidebar, you can stumble external sites that are important to you. Generally, these include current articles, videos and other relevant content. In particular, when I clicked on recipes, which is a present interest at the current, I was directed to "Foodmaker's May Change recipes to cut fat to make announcements to the children", "New Restaurant shares a new recipe Blueberry Pie," and moreYou can also share your favorite links from Sparks and from any point on the network for that matter - on your wall.

More Google +

Like other social media sites, Google + is available for those traveling. The Mobile native application is currently available for Android, but the web application is accessible for all smart phones, and SMS will be available soon.

It 'still undecided when Google + will be fully available to the public, Google + representatives have said, "How long does the testing, and how the product evolves, it will really depend on how it goes. We do not have time "(Google + Site Press).
