Google has been working on a social networking platform for a while now, and they have failed with Wave and Buzz is just a side tool at this point. They needed to find the key mixture of social connectivity, privacy and content to out do Facebook as well as integrate it into the other Google Services.
I like that you can completely control the level of content and connectivity that it has to your account. And I like the simple interface and the Android application which works seamlessly with it, I don’t have an iPhone but a few people already mentioned that the iPhone interface for Google+ is very good. The best part about it is that you can completely delete your account and shut it down if you don’t want it. For me this is a new thing to enjoy because I never had a MySpace or Facebook account, and I for one trust Google, I don’t know why I do but I trust them. So lets hope that Google+ keeps getting better, and for now its invite only and they have closed it but I’m assuming that it will open soon to all.
