Google officially has a social networking site! The site is called Google+. They have a 12 week invitation trial that hsa already attracted 20 millions members. Google has now become one of the main sources in internet access, I cannot name all the things you are capable of doing by using google. Facebook has 800 million active users and Twitter now has over 100 million users. Google has definatly made a mark in competition. Unlike having "friends" on facebook and "followers" on twitter Google+ has "circles". This means you can control how widely your posts are shown. This means that you can either have posts viewed publicly to everyone, one friend, all friends, family memebers, it is all your choice. Google+ also allows you to make your posts as long as you want them, you have an unlimited amount of word space. You can video chat on Google+,  record and broadcast videos, and even complete tasks with friends.

Google+ may be the next big thing! When both facebook and twitter came out it took a while for people to start trying out the websites and move away from the formaly used social networking site, myspace. The simple amount of 20 million may soon turn into 200 million. Once the word is out more about this new website people may fall in love with it. Google is already widely used so it may not take very long for this new networking program to become a blow out! But just as easily as it can be great it can also fail. People may decide they do not like Google+ and decide to stick with their twitter and facebook accounts. But only time will tell the greatness of the new Google+.
