Google+:Another try to Social Network?

Well, you must have already heard Google+, all tech media are talking about it. It was thought to be another try for google to fight against social network giant facebook. Designed by original Macintosh team member Andy Hertzteld (news from techcrunch.com), Google+ features a lot of innovative functions showed by 11 videos google released officially.
However, google highlight its difference with other existed social network. It will keep more privacy for people who join the network, more options will be offered whether to show out or not. All clues show it’s big,big and big.






Then what’s Google+?
With the Circle function, people can define different relationships into different circles like friends, family or others based on interest. Google claimed today’s online services turn friendship into fast food—wrapping everyone in “friend” paper”. Whether this means that google cares more about people’s original instinct and their privacy? Other features are noticeable including sparks, hangouts, instant upload, local information support as well as mobile support. These features cover the hottest applications a social network concerns or will concern in the future. Google focus that the google+ shows more real relationship in the real world. Take the hangouts as a example, people concerns a lot to decide to stop by a friend cause everybody has his own scheduler. However, you can show you are free for a hangouts on the google+ and gain more opportunities to activities.


Different Voices towards Google+

People who adored google welcome the google+ and can’t wait to test it. A funny guy posts a comment on google’s youtube:

Step 1: Receive invite
Step 2: Post link to these videos on Facebook
Step 3: Send invites to those who matter
Step 4: Change Facebook status message to "Permanently moved to Google+, please forward all mail accordingly." That may represent some attitude toward google+.
However, some experts point out that google fails on buzz, whether it deserves a try still need more days. And some people doubt that a new app needs 11 videos to explain how to use must be something very complicated. Nobody needs videos to know how to use facebook.
Whatever, Google+ is very fresh. If you don't want to be out of date, click the videos from google’s youtube channel.
