Google Plus is rumored to be the new Facebook, But I'd find some very diverse functionalities which we are supposed to get used to. So many features that you might tend to even forget them.
- Awesome UI
- Being a sub domain of google.com, "plus" keeps reminding that its a part of the Google family. Thank goodness its not just plus.com
- Circles: This is a pretty different feature a cool one too. Sharing different stuff with different types of people. But not to mention its sometimes a con feature, increases SNR (as said on Techcrunch).
- Profile: Looks clean with legible font.
Options menu allows you to disable comments and prevent reshare. About, shows your Google profile. Photos, Videos, +1's and Buzz are very obvious for further explanations. Profile Picture can be flipped to choose among options.
- Photos: Sync them with your Picasa. View albums from your circle of friends and comment on it, which has a different look and feel. Scrolling the mouse can navigate through the pictures.
- Home:
Notifications on the right contains many functionalities like commenting back on the notification box and navigation.
Stream has many functionalities too like "incoming" has posts which people out of your circle are sharing.
Sparks has personalized posts relating the specified field like Robotics, Android etc. Google Chat feature is an unquestioned add, not surprised by the "Invisible" feature, but is welcome.
Hangouts features video chat and resembles the literal meaning of the word itself.
Post Share to everyone choosing Public, to limited circle of friends choosing the respective circle and also mention only the name to send a private message. Use J and K to navigate up or down. Add */ _/ - before and after the text to bold/italicize/strike. @ or + is used to tag a person to a post. Drag and drop photos to the "share" to do so with pictures.
Add me on + if you are on it. Click here to view my profile on +.
Pity, there is no vanity URL yet !
