Advertisers have said it,”Most of our traffic comes from Google, then comes Facebook.” And so it is. The search engine with millions of daily users will be the top seed for sure but when facebook can try to catch up with Google in this field, why can’t Google go on to take Facebook in theirs. Yes, I mean the social networking one.
So just when you thought that social networking was not the thing for Google to take on, Google guys come up with this “Project Google+”. A better way to be socialized than the web has to offer nowadays. If it’s still not clear, then let me be bang on, it’s Google’s take on social networking in a similar but improved way. So I took the tour here – Demo – and analyzed what made the project so different and better than their counterpart – Facebook. Here is the list :
1. Circles – Although Facebook offers you to lock content viewable by strangers, but it does not allow you to selectively allow people to be able to view specific contents. Let me make it simple. For example, there is a album you want your friends to view but not your parents. You can simply grant privilege to your “friend’s circle” to view that one. Better? So here at Google+ you do not have friends, but you have various groups with whom you can share differently.
2. Hangouts – One of the great addons that make it outstanding is it focuses more on video. And when I say video I mean video podcast and video chat. If you create a hangout, people can join it and video chat, podcast videos or maybe youtube videos(if they haven’t added it yet!!!) and simply be there in real time!!!
3. Instant Upload – Not that great but still a cool feature for mobile users on the go. Take pictures and Google+ will automatically upload it to a private album in your account via your integrated device. You can later decide with whom you want to share that album. This saves a considerable amount of time over self uploading. Obviously!!!
4. Sparks – Google guys have utilized the fact that they already have the biggest and greatest search engine running and have integrated it with Google+ through sparks. It similar to bookmarking keywords (and not links) and get fresh new links every time you open it. Suppose you love listening rock music, so type “rock music” in your sparks box and click search. If you like it, then click the “add interest” button below and it will add it to your sparks drop down menu. So anytime you are bored socializing, you can always check out your “interests” easily.
5. Huddle – Another name for group chat. But Facebook has group chats for different fan pages and interest groups, so what if you want to have a random group chat with 4 of your friends. Huddling it out is the solution.
The new project sure seems to be good and better. But since it adds on new features to the existing Facebook(as everything else seems to be not so different), it should be called “Facebook+”. What say? By the way if anyone of you would like to get invited to join Google+, since it’s limited to a few people, you can always check here – Invitaion .
