Undermine the dominance of Facebook
California-Failed with social networking project called Google Buzz, Orkut, and Google did not make the Wave technology companies from California, the United States is broke. Recently Google Inc.. introduced a social networking service called Google + (Plus Google).
With Google +, Google seems to have found the most appropriate way of "concocting" a social media platform. In general, Google + services that are served almost like Facebook, which is a place to share photos, links, and videos with friends online.
But there are some features that differentiate Google + Facebook. Here, Google provides a Circle that is like the circle of life where you can determine who entered which group. In it you can group, such as coworkers, classmates, family, or acquaintances.
"You can share content that is relevant to the right people," Google wrote. The idea behind this feature Circle starts from a desire to share something with some people only, not to all people 'lodged' in social networking account. To determine who entered into a certain group, you can simply drag and drop them to contact the group you want.
In addition to choosing a friend to share, Google + also integrates with a variety of other Google services, except for Blogs and YouTube. In short, Google + become one key for all.
Google + Inside there is a bar that contains a notification when you receive new email and instant messaging for example, without leaving the Google page +. By clicking the notification icon, so any information will appear in a window on the page you are viewing. From there you can reply directly, add a comment or return to the main page. When disturbed with a notification bar that is always there in every page that is opened, you can disable it via the settings menu.
From Google +, you can also unlock the data stored on other Google services. But before you need to enable the features Data Liberation from the settings page. After that, you can download the data from the Picasa Web Albums, Google profile, Google + stream, Buzz and others. Data Liberation is almost the same as the name suggests the new Facebook features new data downloaded.
There is another unique Google +. Google allows you to add a contact to the Circle, even though they had not already using Google services. Suppose you enter the name of the brother and father are not yet a Google user to the Circle + family, they still get notifications about what you did to them in the Google +.
+ Google also offers a feature video chat and instant messaging that lets you chat with individuals or groups of up to ten people at once. Unfortunately, the service is still in test phase. Although arguably too late, at least Google + Facebook could be an alternative that is "already" popular with almost 700 million members.
According to ComScore survey, until last May recorded 180 million people visited Google sites, including YouTube. The amount is higher than Facebook's 157.2 million people visited. But visitors to Facebook's arguably more "loyal" because the average spend 375 minutes than Google is only 231 minutes.
