The internet is abuzz with the imminent release of Google’s new social network, Google+ which is schedule to be released next Tuesday. Right now, it is one of the most discussed subjects on the Huffington Post. Google+ is actually being tested by a select group of invited people.
From a presentation available on the above article, the main features of this new network, which can be easily accessed from every Google product like its search page and Google maps, are the following.
- Circles
- Hangouts
- Instant uploads
- Sparks
- Huddles
