Google+ integrates social networking features like profiles, circles, posts, and events with other Google services like Hangouts, Drive, and YouTube.

‘revision history’.
It is a feature that you don’t usually
need but when you need, you really
need it.
As the documents are constantly
being saved when you work with

everything and we cant get it back.

previous state.
