Google plus thats the buzzword online these days. The new social networking revolution, google's challenge to the social networking czar facebook. Google's bid to securing the online space in this area had been previously unsuccessful with its site orkut losing heads and popularity at alarming rates. Facebook today has around 600 million users. Do you know what microsoft did when netscape surpassed over microsoft, it copied everything what netscape had to offer in its browsers and operating systems and with efficient marketing strategies bought back its market share. Now it seems Google is bent on doing the same. Google plus has everything that facebook can offer plus a feature called circles which I would say is the best. Circles allow you to separate work life, personal life, close friendships etc easily on the same account. Now one need not end up concotting different accounts as in facebook. You need not worry if your boss has sent you a friendship request and need not fuss whether your relatives see a status message as what the f****. Its you who has the power to decide who sees what and you can separate the wheat from the chaff. Once you post a status message it does not get displayed to every tom, dick and harry who happens to be your friend on google plus but you can see which of the circles can see your status message. Moreover its you who can see who gets to placed in each circle. When you move a person from one circle the person gets notified that something has been done but no information is given to which circle he/she has been moved.

You can select contacts and video chat with all of them on one single screen. Just like old times when you used to go out for a beer with friends. Video chat as of now is the severest aspect which facebook lacks and will prove to be the toughest challenger to facebook's very existence.
