Google Social Tools

Google Social Tools

Remember Social Media has virus use AVG provides for social media link virus detection and protection.

This was part of an article I found very useful:

Google+ will be available on Android Market and the mobile web from today - although only those with an invite will be able to login - and will be rolled out to desktop users in the coming days and weeks.

In the meantime, here's a rundown of the key features:

+Circles

A tool for dividing friends into groups to make it clear who gets to see what. Like Facebook's Groups option, +Circles means users can differentiate their online profile between different contacts – such as family, college friends and work colleagues.

+Sparks

The company says “Sparks delivers a feed of highly contagious content”. The system enables users to enter their interests and then receive feeds for sharing and commenting on stories and content related to those subjects.

+Hangouts

Described by Google as a combination of casual meetings with live multi-person video, +Hangouts is designed to mirror social experiences such as the pub, where groups of people can drop in and chat in a semi-private forum.

+Mobile

Includes location services for pinpointing where people are, and an automatic picture upload service to the cloud.

+Huddle

A more instant approach for staying in touch, Google describes Huddle as a “messaging experience that lets everyone inside the circle know what's going on, right this second”. The company say this should make it easier to organise meetings and make plans without access to everyone's diaries.
