Google + , A much hyped social network launched by google adopted the same marketing strategy that its siblings adopted; ” Special Invite ” .
Google knows that if you try to hide something people tend to make sure they peep into the room to see ” Whats in it for them “. I am one of those who makes sure to peep into every room.
So, This morning i got a Invite from Swapnil for google plus.
Interestingly, we had planned to go for Walk early in the morning but he backed out as he had slept very late. It tok me by surprise when i saw him online at 9, and by no time my blood pressure increased when he sent a pm
” Yo!! Google+!!! “
I started behaving as of we’ve found Cryptonite Early in the morning. Told him to send the invite for G + & started refreshing Gmail.
The conversations after the invite was sent out:
10 Min – Dude, U sure u sent the Invite ?
15 Min – Wondering what Happened to the Damm Mail !
20 Min – WTF is going on dude. Where is the invite ????
30 Min – Aaaaaahhhh !!! Give Me the Fucking Invite !!!!!!! Or else…
31 min :
Out of curiosity i went to Plus.google.com, and i see it says, Please choose your name, Gender & Continue.
I told to Myself, Come-on GooG. Ive been waiting for you for so long and you are hiding here 
Anyways, i managed to enter Google + and then updated twitter & FB to brag it .
The first thing i liked was Integration with Picasa. Ive been using with picasa for long to store photos and now i was damm happy as all my photos came into G+ Easily.
Then i moved to Circles. I must say ” They are Sooo Cute ” . When you add a person to your circle it animates in a Beautiful manner and adds a +1 to it.
But, this is not the best animation; The best one is when you Delete a Circle it falls down like a apple from a tree and rolls to the left.
However, Using circles need a Bigger screen ( unlike my 17” ) i would have to get a 19 or 21” Widescreen as once the circles increase the size of the ” Circle ” increases and since the screen is divided into two parts there’s hardly any space left to move around.
Then came Sparks. In simple words, A better google reader. Dont try to compare this to Fanpage or Community, Its simply Web results ranked highest with +1 button & Page rank. Its a nice way to read news about ur interests.
Hangouts is a Revolution. I gotta Buy a Cam Today !!. Its a Next Gen way of meeting people. Very nice. I tested it and it was flawless.
Surprisingly i also tested facebook Video Call before i tested Hangout and have to say. FB was better in simplicity, Hangout is Fully integrated with Chat, youtube etc.
Hangout Testing under progress. More update Soon.
Final Virdict
Google Plus = Follow Friends Like Twitter + Share with them Like facebook + Chat with them like Gtalk + video Chat like Skype .
Everything under one roof.
Will if Kill Facebook
I dont think so.
Facebook connects people’s emotions to each other. Google need to find out a Better way to do that.
G+ is just a Platform which u can use to get in touch, Share, Follow & chat.
It Does Not Reach to your heart & feelings.
Can it do Better than This
