After all the google targeted the facebook it's active competitor right now. After the fall of the greatest Orkut which ruled till 2010, the Google has been in search of it's profits, it produced the famous Android software in the market which is a greatest hit till date, till date Google earned 700 patents in just 4 months, which tells their determination.
About the famous Google's google+ project:
Google+ (also known as Google Plus) is a social networking service operated by Google Inc. The service launched on June 28, 2011 in an invite-only testing phase. The following day, existing users were allowed to invite friends, who are above 18 years of age, to the service to create their own accounts. However, this was quickly suspended a day after there was "insane demand" for accounts.
Google+ integrates social services such as Google Profiles and Google Buzz, and introduces new services Circles, Hangouts, Sparks, and Huddles. Google+ will also be available as a desktop application and as a mobile application, but only on Android and iOS operating systems. Sources such as The New York Times have declared it Google's biggest attempt to rival the social network Facebook, which had over 750 million users in 2011.
The very new features of the Google+:
Many features of Google+ are similar to those of other social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn[citation needed]. The way Google+ displays notifications, unread notifications, and links to posts is also similar to Facebook Notifications[citation needed].
"Circles" enables users to organize contacts into groups for sharing, across various Google products and services. Although other users can view a list of people in a user's collection of circles, they cannot view the names of those circles. The privacy settings also allows users to hide the users in their circles as well as who has them in their circle. Organization is done through a drag-and-drop interface. This system replaces the typical friends list function used by sites such as Facebook.
"Huddle" is a feature available to Android, iPhone, and SMS devices for communicating through instant messaging within circles.
"Hangouts" are places used to facilitate group video chat (with a maximum of 10 people participating in a single Hangout at any point of time). However, anyone on the web could potentially join the 'Hangout' if they happen to possess the unique URL of the Hangout.
"Instant Upload" is specific to Android mobile devices; it stores photos or video in a private album for sharing later.
"Sparks" is a front-end to Google Search, enabling user to identify topics they might be interested in sharing with others; "featured interests" sparks are also available, based on topics others globally are finding interesting.
Through "Streams," users see updates from those in their circles, updates similar to Facebook's news feed. The input box allows users to enter a status update or use icons to upload and share photo and videos.
"+1" button similar to 'like' button in facebook
The very introduction of the Google+:
The introduction of Google+ has had an impact on the design of Google's web search service, due to the graphical redesign (mistakenly attributed to Andy Hertzfeld).
There have been refinements alongside speculation of a much wider impact once Google+ is fully rolled-out, including some redesign of Google Maps, Google Mail and Google Calendar.
In particular, there are changes to Picasa Web Albums:
After tagging someone, they receive a notification and can see the photo and the related album.
For new albums, anyone an album is shared with can see who else it is shared with.
Albums someone shared can be tagged and re-shared by others.
Photos up to 2048×2048 pixels and videos up to 15 minutes won't count towards the 1 GB storage quota for Google+ users (it's 800×800 pixels for non-Google+ users), creating "virtually unlimited" storage for mobile users
The very countries that blocked the Google+:
Within a day of the website's launch, various news agencies reported that Google+ was blocked by People's Republic of China.[10] This is part of a wider policy of censorship in Mainland China. The Iranian government has also blocked access to Google+ from 11 July 2011.
