Google unveil Google+
Sunday, 03 July 2011

Google have unveiled their latest attempt at launching a social network service. Buzz failed to catch on, Wave never got off the ground, now we have Google +.



Comprised of Google Circles, Google Sparks, Google Hangouts and Google + Mobile, as well as the existing Google "Plus One" button, the service will naturally be available on Android as well as your web browser.

 Google Circles allows you to create groups of friends and share messages and status updates, allocating different permissions to each group.



Google Sparks allows you to subscribe to areas of specific interest, be it cars, shoes, music whatever and have content delivered to you and share opinions with other fellow enthusiasts.



Google Hangouts is an extension of Google Circles and lets you interact with your friends live via multi-party video conferencing.



Google + Mobile allows you to upload photos from your phone to an online photo album as well as share instant chat with your Circle groups using the "Huddle" feature.





The Google + client is available for download from the Android Market now, but the service is currently only available by invitation only.
