According to Google blog post today Google launched a new social networking site which will rival Facebook. This social networking site was known as Google+ project. It looks identical to Facebook and it works in the same way as that of Facebook.
This new social networking site of Google is now available to a small group of invitees and will allow people to post status updates, share links and upload photos.
But according to Google what will set apart Google+ from Facebook is that users will be able to make separate “circles” or groups of online friends and will be able to communicate within these groups or circles such as users can have various circles of college friends, work colleagues and family members.
A user can communicate separately with each circle or group.
According to an analyst of Technology Business Research “Ezra Gottheil”, the circles idea makes a lot of sense. It’s smart, and while you can do something similar to Facebook, it is not exactly Facebook.
It will take some time before we will know whether these feature will be able to convince Facebook users or to use a second social network and leave the popular Facebook for a brand new service.
Bloggers have long talked about whether Google will be able to come out with a Facebook killer.
The one certainty is that Google is facing an uphill battle in taking on Facebook. While the social network has officially said that it has more than 500 million users, other sources recently have reported that the number now is more than 750 million.
With Google+, the company is giving users a way to get a rolling scroll of content from across the Internet on any topic of they're interested in. Really into fashion, gardening or restoring old cars? Google+ will stream a feed of content into your page so you can stay up to date on your favorite topics.
And with a feature called "Hangouts," Google+ enables users to meet up with their friends online, using multiperson video.
