An introduction to Google+

1. Google + What is it & how will it impact you?

2. What is Google+ ? Latest attempt from Google to be in the Social Network space An intelligent mix of Twitter and Facebook It is not Orkut

3. Key Features Stream – Similar to Facebook Wall and Twitter stream Circles – Groups of people. You decide who is part of what group. It helps you share the right thing with right group of people. Seamless UI is +1 Hangouts – It is the killer feature, which allows you to do Video chat on the fly. It also helps you perform a video conference or Webinar for a small number of people.

4. Features Sparks – This is a categorized list of +1d search results. The content listed are the results of the recommendations engine (+1 in search, web pages etc.) combined with your interests Mobile – A scaled down version of Google+ is available

5. +1’s No clutter in the home page The Hangouts – It was not part of any social network in the past and is a very cool feature as long as it is not cluttered with ads. The Circles – Another key feature and the best part of it is the ease of adding someone into the circles. Content Sharing – Every post on your stream can be easily navigated to the right circles with a single click

6. Neutral The Pages feature of Facebook or similar is not available in the current Google+ Streams are not very attractive. May be it requires a lot of status update needed for Google to analyze the interests

7. -1’s Not available for Google Accounts part of the Google Apps Lack of Mobile apps from Google across the world, currently the Android market is not listing it in countries like India & Kuwait

8. Thank you
