Google+ is the official
social networking platform of Google, one of the world's largest and most
popular search engines. Google+ officially debuted in June 2011 and is intended
to pull all of Google's peripheral products (Gmail, Google Maps, search, Google
Calendar, etc.) into one cohesive network, meant to be as open and as connected
as possible, incorporating everything that searchers use at Google into a
comprehensive social and content dashboard.
Circles:
In order to use Google+ efficiently, you'll need to understand
a few of the Google+ terms: Circles,Stream, Hangouts,
the Google+
toolbar, Profiles,+1's, and Sparks.
Google+ Circles refer
to the way you organize your social contacts. You might have one circle for
family, one for work colleagues, and one for your favorite hobby. How you
choose to interact with these circles is completely up to you, and you can
share different content with different groups. You can also choose to have your
personal profile information show differently to different groups.
Stream:
The Google+
Stream is
similar to the Facebook
news feed in
that it's meant to be one centralized dashboard for all content shared by the
people you've made connections with on Google+. Information found in the Stream
could include text, images, videos, links, and maps.
Tool
Bar:
In order to provide you with a personalized experience
across all of their services, Google requires that you sign in
with a free Google account.
Once you are signed into
Google, you'll see the Google+ bar appearing across the
top
of any Google service you might be using, and can access
any Google service
from this toolbar as well, including
Google+.
Hangouts
and Chat:
Google+ Hangouts are meant to be live social networking,
connecting with people who are online right this minute via
instant messaging,
live video chat, or group conversations.Google+
Chat gives you the opportunity to communicate directly and instantly with
people you've already initiated chatting privileges with from other Google
services. The people in your Google+ Circles can be invited (or not) to your
chat session as well.
Sparks:
Sparks are simply your particular areas of
interest, chosen
and edited by you for relevance. Google+ presents a variety
of
possible Sparks
you might be interested in, and you can
add or subtract to these topics as you
see fit. You can share
your favorite Sparks
with people in your Circles, or
investigate the Spark further by drilling down
into the
content that generated the initial Spark.
Profiles:
Google
Profiles are your public and personal presentation to the world on all Google
services, including Google+. It's up to you how much information you choose to
share publicly on your Google Profile; by default, your full name and gender
are visible to the general public.
Mobile:
Google+ is available on several different Web-enabled
mobile devices, and can be used in the same way that
Google+ is utilized on a
desktop computer. For more
information on how to access Google+ for your phone,
read Google+
Mobile Help.
Privacy:
The names of the Circles that people are
involved in are not publicly shared, but content can be seen by people who are not necessarily in the intended Circle.
· An item shared in your Stream can
potentially open up
originally private content.
Your Google Profile can be displayed
publicly as part of
someone else's network.
· Your email address can be seen on other
services' chat lists than Google+.Most
privacy concerns people might have with Google+ seem to come with simple fixes;
however, it's best to be cautious when sharing information across a public
network.
A
New Social Network:
Google+ is
Google's social network, meant to be a dynamic
convergence of all of Google's
many services in one
collaborative, intelligent, open network. Google+ works
similarly to other social networks, but with a few
important
differences and terminology.
Circles allow
you to group your contacts into intuitive groupings, based on relationship.
· Hangouts: Instant conversations via video and
chat, both with groups and individuals.
· Photos: Use Google+ to share your favorite
photos and on-the-go images.
· Sparks: Topics of interest, chosen and edited
by you, that you can explore and share.
· Huddle: Collaborative group chat with
multiple people on the same page at the same time.
