Description

Launched in June of this year, Google+ (pronounced Google Plus) is Google's alternative to a social networking web site (like FaceBook and LinkedIn). Google+ is designed to help you share updates, web links, information, news and more with different circles of friends and/or acquaintances. One of the reasons Google+ may soon rival sites like FaceBook and LinkedIn is the power behind combining other Google tools—like Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs together with features from Google's Android phones. Come and find out what Google+ is all about, how it is different from other social networking sites like FaceBook and how it might work for you.
