Now Facebook is going to get some competition from Google. Google is making their own Social networking service by the name Google+ which is at the moment in a kind of closed beta where only a limited amount of users are able to test and use it, though the first impressions seems positive indeed.
Google’s user interface should be pretty straightforward and you can import all your information from the various of Google services, such as Picasa and G-Mail.
One of the unique things about Google+ is that it organizes your contacts/friends into circles.
The concept for this is rather interesting since it is designed to mimic real life relationships, for an example it allows you to organize your contacts/friends into different circles such as family, coworkers, friends, soul mates or whatever you like.
Another thing that Google+ is improving over Facebook is the privacy and security levels, so in that case it could be a bit ahead of Facebook.
I think that Google+ might become a success, but I doubt it can remove Mr. Zuckerberg & Co. from the social networking throne that it is sitting on at this moment.
