Google launched its most awaited and highly anticipated social networking site and has 750 millions users all across the globe in its development phase. This is not first time for Google to have a Social Networking site, before the boom of Facebook was Orkut which in early stage did work well but then because of its limitations and lack of variations it could not stand in comparison to Facebook. But, it’s too early to conclude between Facebook and Google+.
Google+ Features

Google has come up with the concept of circles — you can create a circle of contacts that are family, friends, work friends, former co-workers and so on. With these groups or circles you can define who gets to see what kind of updates. Facebook currently doesn’t offer the ability to control who sees what goes in our life that we share online.

Hangout
This just might be the killer feature of Google + effort. It is essentially group video chat done right. You click on the Hangout button and invite members of a certain group by sending them a notification.­ If there is no one around, all I could do is hang about without much drain on the system waiting for someone to show up. So theoretically­ I could invite all members of team GigaOM circle and have a quick video chat. In the demo at least, Hangout felt intuitive and easy to use (Google uses its own video codec and not Adobe Flash for this feature).

Huddle

This is a mobile group-chat service that is very much like Beluga, the fast-growing­ service that was snapped up by Facebook weeks after it was launched and is now said to be part of a major new communications­ push by Facebook. I think this is a great little feature and frankly, if Google was smart they should be rolling this out to all Google Apps for the Enterprise customers.

Instant Buy Amoxil Online Pharmacy Uploads

It has also come up with a new approach to mobile photos & videos. Google calls it Instant Uploads. Take a photo and it uploads to your Picasa or YouTube account and then you can share those videos via Google+ to specific “circles.”

Sparks

It is a new feature that allows you to create topics of interest and use them as source of information and then share it with Buy Nexium Online Pharmacy No Prescription­ Needed various different groups. For instance, I could share results of Top Gear with my “petrol head” friends. These “interest” or “topic” packs offer a lot of content and not surprisingly­ YouTube videos. Circles, Hangout and Huddle are about personal sharing and personal communications.­ Sparks on the other hand is devoid of that connection and stands out as a sore thumb.

Except few of the features like Circles, privacy settings and editing a wall post, I didn’t find anything else much different from Facebook. Facebook is a fully developed social network and Google Plus has just emerged so talking about their comparison is pretty irrational.

Facebook Features which still keeps it ahead of Google+

Search

Yes, Google is commonly referred to as the search-engine­ giant but so far, only other users are searchable within Google Plus, but on Facebook, all public content is searchable.

So, let’s say we want to find reactions to a breaking news story. You can do that on Facebook, while right now, it’s not possible on Google Plus. That’s pretty ironic.
