  Google+ is the new social networking site by Google. The Google+ project aims to make sharing on the web more like sharing in real life.

Some of the interesting features of Google+ that makes it stand out from other social networking sites :

1. Circle: Have you ever wanted your photo on Facebook but not want your boss to see it? In Google plus – there is an option called “circles”. Using circles, you can place your friends in different circles and the information you are sharing is only visible to particular groups.

  Privacy: You can share the information within the circle, ensures high-level privacy.

  Share: No need to be in Google plus to make a new post, click the share button in Gmail or docs and you can post your stuff even as writing an email or working on a doc.

2. Hangouts: You can have a video call with more than ten friends at a time, compared to a lesser number in other networks. Another feature is that you can view You Tube videos while on the call with your friends.

@ Robin, nice article and Google+ is the best community site today and after some years it will beat the Facebook. I like Google+ and it is good for seo work.
