Change is Easy

Most people are always telling you that they are scared of change . But when it comes to using a new social network called "Google+" instead of their own favourite "facebook" its rather pretty easy to make the switch . Well you ain't completely falling back to using Google+ but you are again using it for the sake of kicks . That little invitation that you've got made you special among the rest . Yes google wouldn't let you use this product unless you have an invitation . It was said that the invitation those were given out right after its release were mind numbingly huge and they had to shut the whole invitation thing down right after a few hours they started it . Now they are adding one person in your friend circle at a time .

Now you aren't using this just for the kicks you know not till you know whose the most favourite person on Google+ is actually Mark Zuckerburg . I know what you're thinking that google is just messing around with its search results to put Mark up there on the list , sinister indeed ! But nonetheless this thing has its ups . 

Circles : 

Not to be  mistaken with crop circles . You can create your own little groups called as 'Circles' . For novices like me I would refer to it just like putting labels to your incoming mail this would be having a friend in a group or multiple groups . Now again these circles are pretty holy . Imagine you have a bunch of friends talking about how cool the discussion last night was and you are left behind pondering over what could possibly be that these guys were talking about and then they tell you that they were chatting about it on their google circle .   A great way to have people to want more out of their socializing . 

Hangouts :

This is more sort of a group video conference . You can create one yourself  by adding people to a particular hangout . That's it ! You ain't got nothing special in here just a sprinkly of sharing youtube videos . But the names got a cool ring to it , doesn't it ? 

Plus one :

A geekier version of 'liking' something using a google product . A little icon with +1 on it placed on the right  of every link that has been posted in your stream . You could just appreciate it but clicking it once just like the facebook like button . 

Things that Google+ doesn't have yet would be people , games and tons of other distractions that would go with it . I presume this is the start of a really good project but again google doesn't back its reputation much with the social network scenario after Buzz and Wave . So only time can tell how well this works out for everyone . Until then you can still add me on orkut , WHAT YOU DON'T USE IT ANYMORE !!!
