The world of social networking just got a little bit bigger with the introduction of Google+. Although it is still in the test phases there is a lot of buzz about Google + and what affect it is going to have on the popularity of Facebook. Google+ is google’s new social networking site that markets itself as being more flexibility for it’s users that Facebook. It is comprised of several new features such as Circles, Sparks, Hangouts, Mobile, Location, Instant Upload, and Huddle.
The feature that I find the most appealing is “Circles.” This feature allows you to categorize your friends into different groups so that that you can pick and choose what you are going to share and with whom you are going to share it with. I like this feature because I do not always want to share the same things with my boss and my best friend.
Another feature that I like with Google+ is the “Sparks” feature. This allows users to enter in areas of interest on their page and the search engine will deliver content based on what you like. Although this may lead to hours of wasted time watching online video clips it is pretty cool.
It will be interesting to see how Google+ will impact the Facebook following. Here is an interesting article that talks about the possible outcomes.
