About Google's latest social product
Google+ (pronounced and sometimes written Google Plus, sometimes abbreviated as G+) is asocial networking service operated by Google Inc. The service launched on June 28, 2011 in an invite-only "field testing" phase. The following day, existing users were allowed to invite friends, who are above 18 years of age, to the service to create their own accounts.
Google+ integrates social services such as Google Profiles and Google Buzz, and introduces new services Circles, Hangouts, Sparks, and Huddles. Google+ will also be available as a desktop application and as a mobile application, but only on Android and iOS operating systems. Sources such as The New York Times have declared it Google's biggest attempt to rival the social network Facebook, which had over 750 million users in 2011. On July 14, 2011, Google announced that Google+ had reached 10 million users just two weeks after it was launched in a "limited" trial phase. After less than a day of being live, the Google+ iPhone app has the number one free spot in the Apple app store. After 3 weeks in operation, it has already reached 20 million users.
Circles - Enables users to organize contacts into groups for sharing
Hangouts - used to facilitate group video chat (with a maximum of 10 people participating in a single Hangout at any point in time)
Huddle - is a feature available to Android, iPhone, and SMS devices for communicating through instant messaging within circles.
Another very good info. Thanks for your sharing.
