All right my faithful readers, Today Google has officially announced the beta release of Google+ā¦ The +1 buttons now make sense! Itās currently running in āinvite onlyā mode so if anyone has a Google+ Invite feel free to hook me up! :)
One of the major focuses of Googleās new social networking is securityā¦ In real life people have some sort of privacy. We all have the ability to close the blinds on our house if we want. That way even if weāve given someone our home address, they arenāt allowed to peer in.
Another nice feature is the ability to have what Google has dubbed, āHangoutsā. This is basically a High Def video chat room where friends can come and go as they please. I think this feature could end up being fairly useful but I HOPE this doesnāt mean people will eventually stop hanging out at coffee shops, restaurants, or the arcadeā¦ Oh wait, does anyone hang out at arcades anymore? No, they all cost $2.00 to play nowā¦
There are plenty of other nice features they are adding, check out the link above from Googleās official blog. Quite honestly, Iām hoping it replaces Facebook. Hopefully, everyone that lives, eats, and breathes Facebook will stay there so Iām not bombarded with pointless updatesā¦ Or better yet, Iāll bet you Google+ will give you more options to filter most of it out.
So, if youāve got any Google Plus invites sitting around would you mind hooking me up? Shoot me a message from my Contact page. Iāll remove this line once I get one, so if youāre reading this, Iām still waiting my faithful readers! :) Plus, as soon as I get some Iāll hook up some of my comment-ers! Double :)
