Google Plus

Google have dipped there toe again in to Facebook's territory by launching Google+ (Plus).
Here's Google's YouTube Video explaining it all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwnJ5Bl4kLI. Some of you may remember Buzz.
I hoped that when Buzz was launched (Feb 2010) it would make a better impression in the social media world.


Google+ has five basic components: Circles, Sparks, Hangouts, Instant Uploads and Huddle. It also requires a Google profile, meaning you’ll need to provide Google, with a name and a photo.

Judging by what reviews I have read, Google + brings nothing really new to the already crowded social media arena. The thought of not having to jump from one screen to another to check email or Facebook might appeal to some.



I will have to wait to pass judgement on Google's latest gambit, I will keep an eye on my inbox to see if I'm one of the few Google invite to give Google+ a try.
