It’s official Google has made it in the world of social networks. After countless failures, the likes of Buzz and Wave, Google+ has hit ten million users in a short period of two weeks. That is a good thing I believe
Google+ is on its way to making a huge impact on the Web and the world of social media.
There is alot of different stories out there about Google+ , Some are negative about it’s use and gives the public a warning of how this is just another way to spam people so far I haven’t recieved any kinda of alarming mail I did though have an issue with a Security alert form Selinux and with the help from Fedora they had me back on track and no more alerts so far .
One of the more interesting feature of Google+ is its “Circles.” While Facebook does give its users control over their status messages and overall content, Google+ makes it a whole lot easier with “Circles.” There are no confirmations of friend requests on Google+. Its users can easily organize what content is shared with whom by placing people they know into categories (i.e. “Circles). They are then given control of what is shared within a certain “Circle.” This includes posts made in the “Stream,” which is Google+’s version of Facebook’s Wall. This seems to indicate Google is offering more control over what is shared in general on Google+. This could very well be a very attractive selling point to Facebook users who find that the latter has become too intrusive with its use of the information made available by its users. Of course, Google will, to some extent, make use of the data in Google+ but most users already have accounts with Google that make their data available to it already. One marked difference here is the image Google has of securing its users data. Their company motto, “Do no evil,” certainly helps reinforce this sense of security .
