Google+ Review
Google+ is a brand new (invite only currently) social network that hopes to compete with Facebook. There are four major components of Google Plus, the Stream, Hangout, Sparks and Circles.
Your Google+ Stream is very similar to a Facebook wall. In it you can post status updates, view your updates from your friends and people you follow as well as comment on posts as well as +1 them, the Google+ version of the Like button.
Hangout is one of the best features of Google+. It’s similar to Skype video chat in your web browser but with extra functionality including allowing you to watch YouTube videos as a group and changing the focus between people as they talk.
Sparks are similar to RSS feeds built in to the website. All you need to do is open up Sparks and enter a keyword or two about something that you are interested in and Google will automatically list articles from around the web about your subject.
Lastly there are Circles. Circles are integrated into your Stream and allow you to customize what people you share your updates with. For example you could post an update that’s only viewable by your Family, Friends, Public or you can even make custom Circles to share information with specific people.
