Google Takes on Facebook

Google+ has been launched to a small group of users and invitees enables people to post status updates, share links and upload photos – sound familiar?

To differentiate from Facebook, Google+ allows users to communicate within separate groups of their online friends. Instead of posting an update to everyone, Google+ lets users to create “circles” or groups, such as a user’s university friends, work colleagues or family.

“Today, the connections between people increasingly happen online. Yet the subtlety and substance of real-world interactions are lost in the rigidness of our online tools.
