Google Plus operates in testing mode. The show must go on...


The last week was so called “The week of Google”.  

The Google is going to release new social networking “Google Plus” that should compete with the Facebook. The site is in testing mode. The principle of the Google Plus is the same, i.e. communication, friends, groups (or circles) and so on.

You can also notice that the Google creates a “Google+1” button which is similar to the Facebook’s “Like”. People just may guess how the Google +1 would influence the websites’ placement in the Search. The main noticeable difference is as follows: with the help of Webmaster Tools you can track success of this button’s operation on your website.

Now we can track battles and disputes in some forums. So who will be the best? Google Plus or Facebook? Opinions are divided.  

On the one hand the Google promises that its site would be more interesting and comfortable for people on the other the Facebook is already 7 years old and people like it.

According to statistics there are more that 500 million of people use the Facebook actively. The Google already has unsuccessful attempts in creation of the social networks. What would be now? Let’s see.

The information about the Google’s social network appeared not so long ago. Since then the competition between the Google and the Facebook is continuing.

Google’s developers say that the Google Plus will have understandable security settings. Of course it is a hint to the Facebook that is regularly involved to scandals in terms of violation of User’s data but the Google also has such problems with its previous social networks.

At the moment the destiny of other Google’s social networks such as Google Buzz and Goggle Orkut is not clear. The Google’s developers don’t give any information about integration of the Google Plus with these services.

It is often the case when business decisions that we make very early in the project life cycle affect us for a long time. One of those decisions involves a choice classified websites owners have to make straight away.
