Google Goes Social With Google+


No, "Google Takeover" is not a new product from Google, even though it very well should be in the new future. Google has recently announced a new product called Google+ that aims to take over the popular social network Facebook. As of right now Google+ has only been open to a handfull if people through invite only and should be released to the public in a few weeks. Some notable features of Google+ include a feature called Circles that allows you to categorize your "friends" into different groups to allow sharing to be more easy and specified. Another cool feature of Google+ is the Hangout feature that allows multiperson video conferencing, which is something that Facebook has not yet provided and may change the way people use social networks in the future. As of right now, Neither Reyna or I have been invited to try the new social network so we don not know too much about the features of this new website yet. As soon as we sign up we will be sure to tell you if Google+ is a true Facebook competitor.
