What's different in Google+ compared to Facebook?


Ok, so there's a lot of discussions that this can trigger, and it has been so, in the online world. Is Google's launch of Google+ too late to catch up with Facebook? Is Google concerned with the rise and rise of Facebook? (well, yeah - duh?). Is it facebook's turn to be concerned now?

Oh, well. We think that there's enough of all those debates and views being discussed, and that's probably adding to the 'unanticipated capacity' that Google+ experienced a day or so after it's launch. So, we thought, let's not add another to the lot, but let's get under the hood, and find out what's the difference in Google+ going to be vis-a-vis Facebook.

Thanks to NixonMcInnes, here's a quick look at what Google+ is all about. Well, there's nothing about facebook in there, for it's unlikely that you'll not be in the 500+ million who already know how facebook is!)

(PS: Hmm, it appears, Google+ apparently seems to share - or is it called leverage? - a few things that were in Google Buzz. Most likely that's not pure coincidence. But hey, does it matter - it's Google, after all!)
