the Google+ Project : +1 button gets a new home~

.: First, they created the "Like" button. After some careful and thorough observations, now they create the "home" for the previous "Like" button. Smart, aren't they? :-P

The plus everything project.
Google now has it's own secondary social networks. Still in the beta phase, the new social network called the Google+ is designed to overthrown Facebook dominance ASAP make everyone's life more happier and merrier by connecting each and everyone together. By using a similar-to-groups-concept they name it 'Circles', our updates between our connected friends and relatives and work colleagues and the boss won't mix and that's definitely a plus feature from Google+.

The Google+ project: Explore Settings

Sorry, I get carried away just now. At the moment Google has shown 4 available features of their new social network - Circles, Huddle, Sparks and Hangouts, which nothing new for those who has already use Facebook before. It looks pretty simple and easy to use with their familiar GUI, but currently Google+ only invites some lucky participants to test them out. We can only hope someone will invite us or wait for it to becomes public.

Here is their 4 available features we can peek together~

The Google+ project: Explore Circles
Google+ "groups"~

The Google+ project: Huddle
Google+ "Tweets"~

The Google+ project: Explore Sparks
"Related Searches" + "Google Instant" = Google+

The Google+ project: Explore Hangouts
mIRC + Video chat = Google+

See, nothing new right? It's just a re-branding of all internet products out there that we all familiar with. It may be a good thing because everything is put and mixed together in one place so there is no need to download different software for different use or visits different websites for different service, but I still don't like the users data mining activity which I read somewhere on the Net before. (Facebook do "collect" our data, it's the same thing in any social networks).

It's up to you whether to use it or not, but I do wanna give it a try. You can read and discover more at plus.google.com.


i) lol~ (Maybe he *will* create the official Dislike button because of this?)

ii) Bye bye Orkut or integrate/migrate Orkut inside Google+?
