Google +: The Search Giant, Big “G” Google plus social network site. Only three weeks, Google’s already got more than 10 million users, and Google Plus users share more than a billion copies of the content on a daily basis. It became a hot bed of early adopters, lighting technology, marketing and businesses around the world.

Google + is not the easiest thing to understand, however. It has many features that can confuse beginners. Even experienced users can bypass many of the jewels and the nuances that define Google Plus.

That’s why we decided to dig all Google Plus features like Hangouts, Circles, Google business opportunities + for social networks . The result is a complete guide to all the features of Google +’s main service and as an introduction to the important things you need to know. We are involved in comment, video, photos and more in-depth guide. In addition, regular updates of this manual for the latest information on Google.

So without further ado, here is a complete guide of Google Plus +.

What is Google +?

Search giant Google + last attempt to create a rival social network of Facebook. Google launched Google +, June 28, 2011 with a private beta. The project was led by Vic Gundotra, Google senior vice president of office.

Social network is a collection of various social goods. These properties are the current (news feeds),Sparks(recommendation engine), Hangouts (the service of video chat), Huddle (SMS service group), circles (service control friend), and photographs. We explain all these features later in this guide. More features such as games, questions and is expected to launch in the near future.

Google chose the name because it wants to Google + to be “an extension of Google itself,” said Gundotra, days before launch. It is designed to improve all of Google, which is why the company decided to also change the icon of the navigation bar contains a link to Google user + profile, as well as a new icon, which displays the number of alerts that a user has received, just like the way Facebook deals with notifications.

This is not Google’s first attempt to dominate the social space. It has a long history in social media, including Orkut and its success in the social field, YouTube. However there were two huge flops in the social field: Google Wave and Buzz.

Why would anyone use Google +?

Google has created a social network. Now you’re probably wondering: Why on earth should I use Google +?

We are not here to pitch to Google +. Instead, we asked Google + followers of a simple question: Why would anyone use Google +?

The response was overwhelming. There are over 500 responses to the news. Since we can not publish all responses, we selected six that we understand why so many people are excited about the new Google social initiative:

 ”Google + is a much cleaner way to selectively share data with others. Because Google integrates many of their other products cloud, such as documents, calendar and Reader, you’ll have to see it become a primary means of absorbing the data streaming from the Internet and share it with others. “~ Jason Poggioli

“The combination of power sharing based on (hopefully) mutual interests with the opportunity to gain exposure to interesting people and ideas. The relationship is not really be two-way, but that’s not all be public. “~ Holly Henry

“For some reason, the level of commitment is greater. Resharing comment and seems to reach a higher rate here (for now).” ~ Bill Shander

“I had a Facebook account since 2003. It’s time for something more grown up, that gives me more control and more organic user experience. “~ Sean Cooper

“The user interface of Google + clean, combined with the lack of distraction, or call features (like all the add-on games and applications that clutter your RSS FB), which I never use, draw me + Google . This, combined with the role of circles, choosing with whom to share are the main attractions. “~ Scott Davis

“If Facebook and Twitter had a baby, it seems that Google is +.” ~ Olaf Wempe

Lets Start… Google Plus

google plus guide

For now, it has to be sent an invitation from a friend to join Google +. Although this restriction was lifted in time, it is best to ask your friend to send an invitation to Gmail. You must use a Gmail account to register with Google +. Google Apps accounts are not currently supported, if the search giant plans to add support for email accounts to Google Apps in the near future. Once you accept the invitation, you are redirected to a page that prompts you to create your public profile Google. Fill out the information as your name and birth date, and is redirected to Google +. If you have already completed + Google profile in the past, skip this step and take Google +.

Even if we go in each of the features of Google + ‘s a step-by-step for this, you should always know the basic commands and syntax + Google. Therefore, we have included Google + cheat sheet that explains how to mention the friends of the message (as you can already do on Facebook or Twitter), such as bold text, and more.

Explanation of the Google Video +

The following videos produced by Google that allows a quick introduction to Google +. Check out these videos, then read our guide to learn more about each feature of Google + ‘s key.

Google offers an overview of all the Google project +.

Profile

Once you have your account set + Google, the first thing you do is complete your user profile. If you have already created a profile before Google, the data automatically imported into your Google Profile + – in fact, his profile Google + it replaces.

The first time that Google +, you will be asked to give some basic details, like the motto (a short description of yourself), your work and education. It will also be asked to choose the profile photo. When you set this information, you will have the ability to populate your profile information countless other profile. These are the “Introduction,” “bragging”, “occupation”, “Places lived”, “relationship”, “Wanted,” “Other names”, “Hobby” and “Search for the visibility.” On the right side, you will be able to add links that are related to themselves. Most users add their own website or blog, as well as their Twitter accounts, Facebook and LinkedIn.

While you are on your profile page, you can also change some of your personal settings. You can allow people to send you an email from a link on your profile and you can set this to be public, private, or somewhere in between using Google + circles (explained below).

Your profile also shows that it is in your circle, and you have added to their districts. You can change your privacy settings on the left side of this information from your profile public or private.

+ Google Profiles

When you get to this screen, click the “complete profile” at the bottom of the page.

Circles

Understanding the circles is essential for the control of Google +. The search giant has opted not to simply let “friends” to his friends as you do on Facebook or “follow” different people as you would in Twitter. Instead, Google + gives you more control over who can see the content.

Circles allows users to drag their friends to friends of different groups, which categorizes. This lets you put your mom in her “family” circle, his chief of “business” circle and his best friend in the college of your “friends” circle. You can create as many circles as you want, but what many people it becomes more difficult and reduces the usefulness of the circles.

You can add a circle of friends, all you have to do is drag them into the circle appropriate. You can add friends in a circle so that you want. You can also select a number of friends and drag them into the circle. And ‘initially proposed by the friends of the WHO in Google Contacts, but also allows you to find new friends by importing your address bookSingapore, Hotmail, or on the desktop. Removal of a circle of friends is also easy: just drag and drop in a circle outside the circle.

Clicking on the circle gives a more accurate control by adding and removing people. You can also designate your own circle, write a short description of watching the flow of a circle, open circle and remove the card circle.

So why would you want to create circles in the first place? The answer is simple: You want to share different things with different friends. You can share a photo daring with your close friends, but share a link to the newest hire your company with your corporate network. Circles + Google gives you that kind of control on both what you share and what content appears in your feed.

Circles + Google screen allows you to drag your friends a friend in different categories.

Stream content and share

Facebook users will immediately get the hang of Google + flow – it is only a content of news feeds to share with you the last scene. This content can be any type of photo update status.

There are some differences between Google + Stream and Facebook news feed. Messages from his friends go up, the message is the last comment, but in the end the oldest messages are then buried in the stream. Instead, “the mind” by mail, you can send “a” – this is part of the Google button to drive one. You can also share the message of a scene or turn off the post, if it is clogging up your stream.

Updating your status is very easy – all you need do is write some content in the “Share” box at the top of their food and want to share. You can share with the public (for all his disciples) or just share some sectors. Besides text, you can share photos, videos, links and your site. Facebook, Google + automatically detects the content of links to be shared and you can select a thumbnail from this link.

The left side contains the option Stream, where you can filter Google + stream. If you see only messages from the network, you need to do is click on the circle on the stream. Stream under the alternative is a link to Google + sparks, which we explain later in this guide. It is also possible to activate the account + Google Chat Google.

The navigation on the right contains a link to manage their circles and tips section, where Google suggests adding people to your circle, depending on who is in your Google contacts and friends are as follows. Google also allows you to start a video chat + Google meeting place in the menu on the right (this feature is explained in another section). You can also invite friends to join you on Google + navigation on the right.

 Sparks

Confused about what to share first + Google? Want to know more stuff for your favorite programs, an animal or a band? Google has you covered withSparks, the contents of a recommendation engine that can find relevant and interesting articles and videos on any subject you can imagine. Spark Android, for example, links and thumbnail images of recent news articles about Android.

Google does not publish how it determines what is most relevant, but we imagine it uses the signals from the search, Google News, Google + and others to determine what content is most relevant algorithms.

Google offers a list of proposed topics, but you can write virtually any topic you like. Some sparks are more content than others, though. You can also ‘pin’ sparks preferred on the left side of the easy to use at any time.Sparks, you can also share content directly to find in a circle.

Hangouts

In our opinion, be hangouts + Google killer feature of the social network. It’s a new twist on the traditional group video chat, and it’s certainly been a positive response from Google + community.

That’s how it works: click on “Start a meeting” in the menu to the right of the creek. Clicking opens a chat window where you can check the microphone and the choice of who will be able to reach the venue (either by individuals or inviting to share with circles). Once the cave is live, your friends to see the flow of the den as fast. You can then join the lair of a maximum of ten people have joined.

If you have never used the Google Talk first, you must install a small piece of software works correctly previous places of residence.

Google SVP of Social Development Vic Gundotra meeting places compared to their friends sitting on the porch from knocks on the door of a neighbor. Few people are willing to knock on the door of a neighbor just started a conversation, but if you see friends sitting on a porch and go, it’s almost rude not to go and say hello. Gundotra think one-on-one video chat is a bit like calling a neighbor’s door, while Google is a gathering place + like friends sitting on a porch.

When you are in a den, you’ll notice a few things. First, notice that the video goes from person to person. This is based on who is speaking into the microphone. You can fly video stream of a person and is the report of abuse or “mute” them. Muting someone will beat any retreat, at least until he or she reactivated her microphone. The user can also turn their video, if they wish.

+ Google places of residence also comes with a chat function of a group of text (like Google Talk). Another interesting feature of places of residence, is that users can watch a video on YouTube. Settings you can adjust the microphone, camera and video settings.

 Photo

+ Google with a fully built in photo album of the product, made with the technology behind Picasa (also owned by Google).

When you click the Photos tab at the top of the page + Google shows recent photos uploaded by your friends, and the number of comments for each photo. Clicking one of the photos shows a slideshow of photos with the most recent comments on the right side and photos of other friends on the merits.

The presentation is easy to navigate – Click the image to make peace, or click and drag the mouse side to side to scroll through other images. In this presentation, you can also subscribe for yourself or a friend of a framework photograph, or look at details such as type of camera used to capture an image.

Another part of photo you can see photos when you were labeled. It is also the area where you can approve or reject the labels photo. No image will be labeled with your name before approving it.

The most important feature of images, however, is the ability to upload photos and create albums. Clicking on the giant “new photos” button at the top right, you can create a photo by dragging the images in the browser. Once created, you can share the album with the districts, individual friends, or with the public. Album will remain secret until they are released.

Once downloaded, you can edit your photos directly from Google +. The browser-based editor offers simple functions such as background processing, auto contrast and black and white effects. You can also rotate the image or reject it completely.

One more thing: All the images you upload through the stream will be added to an album titled “Photos of the position,” found in “Album” section of pictures around.

Uploading photos to Google +

Adding photos to your Google + is as easy as dragging. You can also send photos to an Android phone, and soon the iPhone.

 Privacy Policy

The last time Google treats privacy as a secondary function, it was burned by a trial. This time, Google is not playing with Google + and privacy.

In Google + Settings page (available when you select the gear icon in the upper right of the black bar), you can change all the privacy settings. Select the “Account Overview” allows you to change your password, to activate a number of hours (for Advanced users are a lot of shares of Google), and delete your profile and / or a Google Account.

“Profile and Privacy”, where you can really dig deep into your personal settings. From there you can change the visibility of all parts of your profile, manage your circles, you must change your network visibility, set the camera or visit theGooglePrivacyCenter. + Google also has a feature where you can view your profile that your mother or your friend will see. It is a useful feature that lets you know for sure if the content you want are in private is private.

The Settings page also has options to change your e-mail and phone messages, and opportunities to change the default language and the connection of the other accounts to your profile + Google. This feature is designed to improve Google search over Google + profile.

Finally, Google will go when it comes to publishing the data. As data from Google lead the liberation Brian Fitzpatrick told Mashable, the company believes that if it is to trust more of your social data, it is necessary to give users the ability to take the data without problems. That’s why you can download your data + Google, including messages flow profile information and photos. Export function is powered by Google to take away.

Mobile

Google has a system of operating the world’s most popular phones (Android), it is not surprising that Google + is a priority in their mobile applications. On July 16, Google + Android application has only one, although it has a mobile web version and the application of IOS is awaiting approval from Apple App Store. The IOS software is almost identical to the Android application.

+ Google Apps mobile are relatively simple. It comes with five different icons and notifications bar. The mobile application allows you to access your feeds, take and upload photos, view and update your profile and manage your circles.

Two characteristics distinguish Google Apps +Mobile. The first is a feature called “Huddle” which is essentially a function SMS group is reminiscent of GroupM or Beluga. That lets you put a group of friends so you can send and receive text messages from the group.

The other unique feature of Google mobile applications + is something called “Upload instant.” Instantaneous transfer function automatically takes the photos you take and sync with your desktop computer. This makes it dead simple for you to share photos that you upload, when you get home. These images are downloaded to a private album, you can manage and share at your convenience.

As mentioned above, is also Google +Mobileinterface that allows you to send updates, check the entry into clubs and to comment on your post, and update your position. We expect to add a Google + Google mobile applications, because it will improve the service.

+ Google For Businesses

+ Google already has many users, it makes sense that companies want to enter some of the action. Several companies are already on Google +, including Dosurfin, Ford, CBS News and others.

But wait! Before you start making your Google Account + company, there are some things you should know. The important thing is: Google does not want businesses to create profiles + Google. The search giant announced July 6 that it would create a platform for companies, but it would take some time to build.

The result is that the future of companies and brands: Google has not yet been determined. Google could choose to eliminate all business entities, or be transferred to the followers of the existing businesses in the accounts of the new company. The search giant is accelerating the development of Google + for business and begin beta testing in the coming weeks.

We will update this guidance as we learn more about Google + for business.

+ What’s next Google?

Google + Google refers to as a project because he believes that this is far from over. This product is only a few weeks, and it still has many bugs to be fixed.

We waited two features: Google to launch in the near future, however. The first question is a feature that allows users to poll their friends, like Facebook or Quran questions.

The second product is more interesting Google + Games, is rumored to be developing a product that Google has already invested $ 100 million + Zynga, the creators of Farmville and other games. Google Code + “his many references to Google + games, so hopefully just a matter of time before the debut of empires and Alliesmakes Google.

Above all, expect Google’s social network to evolve as it tries to answer the user wants and sets its sights on Facebook, Twitter and the rest of the world of social media.

Google + already has 10 million users sharing millions of documents per day, and a Google button is beaten 2.3 billion times a day, the CEO of Google, Larry Page said Thursday.

Page, told analysts during the call Google’s second quarter conference, also said Android phones compatible 550,000 are activated each day and 160 million people use the web browser Google Chrome.

This page has been careful to put these statistics, some of which had already been reported that in perspective. Since Google derives most of its revenue from advertising, products such as Android, and Google Chrome + considered long-term investments. They can “generate huge new business for Google in the long run,” he said.

Nikesh Arora, vice president and commercial director of Google, said the growth of Android functioned as “an accelerator for our mobile [advertising] efforts.”

Page of Google’s business units into three categories, including research / advertising products, consumers experience the success of strong, such as YouTube, Android and Chrome, and new products such as Google and Trade + and local communities.

Somewhere outside, which are the products that Page calls “speculative”, such as a driver. “We have a couple of small speculative projects happening at any given time, but we are very careful guardians of shareholders’ money,” said Page. “We’re not betting the farm this stuff.”

But do not get too excited yet. + Google might be another way for Google to track your every move … Google + social networking tool of the latest and greatest is taking over the Internet and rule the world. Destroy Facebook , too (but it is another matter).

Google new social networking site has it all: Meeting up with friends, group them according to the level … Well, the weight … well, style. Eh, whatever. You do not need to gather all my friends, like Facebook. This helps to share the stories of a group, you may not want to share with another group – Nosy much, Grandpa?.

Yep.

Depends on the point of view of privacy, and how much you are willing to share publicly. If you do not care or do not have anything to hide, so do not worry. The truth is that Google holds the majority of the Internet anyway, there is no escape, even if you wanted.

Good luck with it!
