Google + social network becomes more friendly with companies

Google began accepting companies and brands to achieve their own pages on social networking site Google +, the new facility named Pages, allowing them to interact better with the site's users.

Organizations will not be charged a fee, and Google will not put ads on these pages.



Thus, the Internet giant hopes to hit the rival site Facebook, which allows companies and brands to make their pages while placing ads on these pages.



According to Google, so far over 40 million people have joined the social networking site.

Google +, available for everyone. See what Google + has in addition to Facebook!

Google has launched, official, the social network Google + after several months of testing, in which access was limited.



Google + is one of the most ambitious projects of Google, trying to unseat the incredible success of the network created by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook.



Google + comes with some brand new and revolutionary elements, and company representatives say that by this network, socializing becomes closer to the real. The user can create separate discussion groups with whom to talk or to share multimedia content, called circles. The service also comes with a chat with video features, so you can video chat with up to 9 people simultaneously.



Groups of friends can easily create and their discovery is made even easier by automatically connecting to multiple accounts simultaneously: Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter or MySpace.

The number of features that Google + comes with is 100

Google + reinvents the search function. When a user wants to find something on the Internet, he can use the Sparks function, providing search results according to relevance and news about people in their circles, web news and public posts from Google +.



Users who have a Andoid phone can download the Google + application from Android Market on the phone and automatically upload photos directly from the phone into their personal account.

Simple Steps To Configure Privacy on Google+

Google+ App For iPod touch And iPad Now Available Download

The Google+ iOS app has been updated today to support the previously “missing” iOS devices, the iPod touch and the iPad, just weeks after the original iPhone-only app wasunveiled. All iOS users are urged to download this update as soon as possible from their device’s App Store or iTunes.

Back when Google+ launched, many were disappointed about the lack of an iPhone app, which Google later addressed, but left iPad and iPod touch users in the cold.
In addition to iPad (not fully optimized interface) and iPod touch support, the new version of the iOS app includes minor new features that have been requested by some users, namely the ability to customize +Huddle, Google+’s instant messaging feature, aggregated circle add notifications and the same old “Performance and stability improvements”. These apply to every device, including the iPhone.

Indeed, this update changes the app’s settings screen with new settings allowing you to choose which circles should be displayed within the stream, as well as set which people can message you through +Huddle. Currently, you can choose to either let everyone do it, extended circles or just your circles.
Google+ is Google’s new attempt at succeeding in the social networking space, after the failure of Buzz and Google Wave before it. Instead of introducing brand-new paradigms, Google has taken features from other social networks and given them its own twist. Among the many features, several are prominent, such as +Circles, which allows for effortless management of contacts and their respective permissions; +Hangouts, which makes online multi-person video conversations easier than ever. As with any other social network, media and posts can easily be shared and appear on every follower’s “stream”. The social network has so far enjoyed a moderate amount of success, although usage has slowed down over the last few weeks.
Keep in mind that you will have to enter your Google+ login details again once you update this app since they seem to be “forgotten”. Aside from this slight annoyance, there are no other known side effects.
