The Google+ Project, is Google's new social networking project. It was recently tested by Sergey Brin, and in most of the tests, it failed. It is only available to a select group of people right now, so bloggers like me wont really be able to express our opinions on this.
You can subscribe to their updates via E-mail by going to http://plus.google.com.
It has many new features that might be a 'fad' for some people or, the 'killer app' for the others.
It will feature 'Circles', which seems like groups. You can share separate things with separate people. In my opinion, it is a pretty nice idea, and there are something things that I do not want to share with my family, or friends. That's a big problem on Facebook, as you might be 'spied' upon constantly by different people from your family.
"You share different things with different people. So sharing the right stuff with the right people shouldn’t be a hassle. Circles makes it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself - just like real life."
You can take a tour of Google+ yourself, right here. It is currently under testing.
"Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon."
The words suggest that they might be having 'technical difficulties'.
Another feature is called 'Sparks', which is basically the copy of 'Likes' from Facebook. It tells your friends what are you interested in.
I'll keep you posted.
Suggestions and comments are appreciated !
Thanks.
