Google +, Not a Social Network, but a ecosystem.

Yes, what we said above is cent percent true. With other services of Google like Google docs, Google Maps, Google Chrome, G Mail etc all incorporated in Google +, it therefore doesn’t remain only a social network but an ecosystem.

I predict Google + to be a Facebook killer sooner or later. But the truth will be revealed as time passes on.

Here I discuss in simply and saucy manner the features of Goggle + and compare them with that of Facebook.

First of all, when you log in to Google +, you are greeted with a similar interface like that of Facebook. But all is not same and the major differences are mentioned below.

‘Friend Request’ in Facebook is ‘Circles’ in Google +

Is there something that you want to share only with your friends and not with your family or cousin? That’s very simple in Google +. You just need to create circles and add all cousin in one circle and friends on other. You can create as many circles as you want and name them accordingly. Whenever you want to share something you can control to which circles your sharing will be visible to. For Example, if you want to share some family related stuff like marriage pictures, video then make a family circle, add family members there (just drag and drop) and make those stuff visible to only family circle (thast really eant to do)

This way your tizzy friend request can be prevented and you can easily control as to whom your sharing will be visible to. Only to friends, or everyone, or a special someone (you know what I mean).

So theirs no friend list on Google+ but Circles. You add people you want to your respective circle and others add you to their respective circles. Simple!!.

Let’s come to the second important thing.

Facebook Pages are Now Sparks in Google +

When anything did interest you in Facebook, there were those Facebook pages you could add on. Now it’s Sparks in Google+. When something interests you, those stuff are listed in sparks..

Add what sparks your interest in.

Go Virtual!!!

This is a great feature in Google +. Suppose you are logged into google+ and at the same time many of your friends. You all can hangout in a virtual room. This virtual room has live video and voice chat feature including simple text chat. At the most 10 people are allowed in virtual room. So all can chat together, have a meeting and enjoy!! You all can even watch a video in youtube together or view photos together.
