The brand new Google+ in its beta phase has a promising future. From the registration page that puts you at ease, to viewing and editing photos online, Google+ exhibits charming features. Google’s idea for social networking isn’t to make it a standalone product, but rather a feature, and that’s exactly what Google+ is. Basically, what it is trying to achieve is a mixture of Twitter and Facebook in one package, giving it a crisp tinge of distinction stream. As Vic Gondutra, senior vice-president of Social at Google, said in an interview, “We think connecting with other people is a basic human need. We do it all the time in real life, but our online tools are rigid. They force us into buckets, or into being completely public”. What was constantly demanded by Facebook chat users is video chat, which a request that is being followed up. Yes, Google+ does support that feature and it can handle up to 10 people at a time. It allows you to join or invite people to a hangout, it also allows you to share a YouTube video and watch it with the people in that hangout session. Simple, organised and fun. by Sameer Abeidoh
