The social network Google +

After two and a half months of testing in a relatively narrow circle of "friends" (computer specialists and journalists), the new social network or Google + Google Plus now open to all interested parties around the world who wants to join.
Although initially the network access was by invitation only, then the first allowed users to freely invite anyone they wanted, so the Google Plus already have millions of users. Now, however, access is completely free to everyone (without the need to call), by registering at google.com / +, according to the BBC and AFP.
The Google seeks to compete with other big social networks like Facebook (750 million users) and The Twitter (200 million users, of whom 100 million active).
A remarkable "tool" of Google + is «Hangouts», which allows users to video chat with many other users simultaneously, a feature that will now be available to those who have "smart" mobile phone camera in the front or tablet computers. The new service will initially be provided to those devices 'run' the Android operating system from Google, but soon, when the company will expand the devices from Apple.
Another service (Hangouts on Air) allows users to broadcast their videos online or watch videos of others. Still, Google has taken care to incorporate the "heavy artillery" of the (search engine) to the new social network, allowing users to "social search", ie to find whatever information they want on various social networks, apart from the rest of the world "fabric". This possibility should, inter alia, be used by businesses.
