Google+ is a tool you can use, and by far the most straightforward way, to organize your online contacts. You can also upload your pictures and videos to share with friends, follow people that you actually do not know but you find interesting, check in to a place, message people who matter to you or just hang out!

But but... you can totally do those on Facebook and Twitter right? So why bother joining Google+?

Friend Filters Done Right
Twitter has Lists, Facebook has Friend Lists, but Google+ has Circles. Google+ Circles allow you to group your friends and other online contacts, giving you the ability to share content and information with certain groups people, instead of broadcasting it to the world. Filters on social networks are nothing new, but what makes Circles a bit different is how prominent they are in everything you do in Google+ and it's so easy to do unlike creating a list on Facebook or Twitter. It's just a matter of drag and drop.



It's Neat!
Less clutter and easy to navigate.

Hangouts (Video Chat with up to 10 Google+'er)
Now this is what makes Google+ stand out imo. Hangouts allow users to simultaneously video chat with up to 10 people at a time. For team collaboration projects, Hangouts could be really big, you can video chat wit your team without having to pay for an expensive video conferencing service.



So, you curious and would like to test it with me? Leave your email then... Here's my profile http://gplus.to/marinaromero. See yah!

"Will people actually check in to their favorite games, though? Apparently so: Since its alpha launch, Heyzap for Android has garnered more than 250,000 checkins on 3,000 different Android games. Those are impressive numbers for an alpha app.

Has Heyzap stumbled upon an ideal way to discover and discuss games? It’s something to consider, given the app’s current engagement numbers. Discovering new mobile games is a problem, as is finding the solutions to the most difficult game levels on your phones. We’re interested to see how this app fares and how it’ll approach the iOS ecosystem." more on mashable.

Google rolls out new search tool for recipes. For those who love to cook (like me!), you might find this new tool handy. Try it out!
