Google+: Coming soon

Google+ Coming Soon:
Google gearing up to make a splash in social media

<original story>  (Google.com)

Google is putting together Google+, and it looks fantastic. With the ability to sort your contacts into CIRCLES and join a HUDDLE (group conversation) it seems like Google has really done their homework on how people like to connect. It will be interesting to see how this application rivals established media networks like Facebook and MySpace- as Google is always on the cutting edge of internet technology and comes equipped with the tools of the trade to make your life online that much easier. Take a minute and check out the videos which help to explain this new application- currently still in development- and get signed up to be the first to hear when it goes live. If you are one of the lucky ones, you've gotten in on the Beta testing- let me know how you like it!  
With Google joining the ranks of the social media frenzy which is a force in almost every industry, it makes very clear the importance of networking yourself and getting your work out there to the people who love it most. Google is a monster in the industry and their involvement in creating a new social media platform really emphasizes how far this concept has come from the good ol' HTML days of MySpace. Could Google be gearing up to be the one-stop internet shop for applications of all shapes and sizes? I think so. Im really anxious to try out this new platform!
