Tech Talk – Google+
Sun, Aug 28, 2011
You’ve probably heard the buzz about Google+, but what is it? Google+ is basically an amalgamation of some of the different services we already use (like Facebook, Google Reader, Skype, etc.), but their goal is to do them better.
Important Features of Google+
• Circles are groups of friends you organize by topic: Friends, Family, College Buddies, Roommates, etc.
• Hangouts are virtual rooms where you can video chat with people in your circles
• Huddles is group messaging for people within your Circles.
• Sparks is like Google Reader, except it brings content to you automatically based on your interests. Each topic gets its own “Spark” page and provide links to related articles, videos, photos, etc.
• When editing your profile, you have the option to show your profile info only to certain circles if you like, giving you complete control over what info people see
• Add the Facebook Add-In to have your Facebook stream within Google+ – go to crossrider.com/install/519-google-facebook to get it
• Get your own vanity url for Google+ – go to gplus.to
