Google launches a new social network called Google+ : Source - Aloo Techie

Google has launched a new social network called Google+ which is aimed at exploiting the difficulty of sharing information with only a small group of online friends, such as a user's close personal friends, rather than with all of their social connections that include work colleagues and others.

Google+ is designed around "Circles" that allow users to group people within their social sphere into different categories. Google says that the people users tend to meet up with on Saturday nights, for example, can be grouped into their own category, while parents can be placed into another. Users can then decide to share only certain information with different Circles. To Know More : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeMZP-oyOII&feature=player_embedded

Another feature is Sparks which lets users input interests and then receive "something cool" related to the specific topic, including news, videos, and other content. The service's Huddle option allows for group chatting on mobile devices. To Know more : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRkAdTflltc&feature=player_embedded

In addition, the social service includes a feature called Hangouts that lets users find others who are "hanging out" on the web. If users decide to join a given hangout, you'll be able to engage in a video chat with the others there. Google+ also comes with an Instant Upload option that automatically uploads all photos and videos from your phone to your profile. From there, you can decide who to share that content with.
