Google’s social network, Google+ is finally live. 

A few key advantages over the current iteration of Facebook:

  • Huddle - Group text chat
  • Hangouts - Group video chat
  • Sparks - Tips on what to share (kind of like Google Alerts made social)
  • Circles - Better sharing controls than Facebook Groups

Excited to see how this develops. I’ve always been fascinated at how little the big players like Google and Apple “get” social. They certainly have all the right ingredients. Also, the website is an absolute must see. Wonderfully executed.
