Google+ (or minus?)
by Alicia Franks on Jul.08, 2011, under Social Media
With bated breath, I await my Google+ invitation. I am curious as to whether or not Facebook will have real competition with this “project” (apparently they are leery to call it a product since most of their social networking attempts, like Buzz, have flopped.)
So what exactly is Google+? Simply put, it’s Google’s answer to Facebook (and I for one have been counting the days!) This Pocket-lint article delves into the details, but the basic premise is set around a stream, or news feed, where your “circles” and “hangouts” can respond and interact. But where does this network fit exactly? Furthermore, will loyal Facebook users be willing to switch, despite Facebook Fatigue?
The major differences are increased privacy, multiple-user chat function and the “real-life sharing” component. Google wants to fix what is broken. Can they do it? The answer is yet to be determined, but I for one am anxious to explore the possibility!
Have you tried Google+? What are your thoughts?
