Introducing Google+: Why Facebook’s Monopoly and Twitter’s Heyday May Be Over

what’s currently shaking up the Internet is a new service created by the search giant Google, known as “Google+”. According to Google’s former CEO, it already has millions of users. That’s extraordinary for a service that’s only been active for 12 days.

But what is Google+, and why is there so much hype? At first glance, it appears to be “like Facebook, but not Facebook”. On further examination, it provides so much more. Intrinsic to the service is the concept of “Circles”, a system where users organize the people they know into groups. While this seems fairly rudimentary in concept, the execution is superb. Rather than having one group of “friends” for every single person you know, as on Facebook, Google+ gives several categories to start with, and users can add more as they see fit. This allows the site to match users’ “real” social lives with their online interactions: rather than share that inappropriate joke with your parents and coworkers, you can post the message in your “friends” circle, where you know it’ll be taken the right way. This also prevents one of the main problems associated with having an online identity, the idea that potential employers could see your online profile and not like what they see.

Aunk SideWike on Newsvine, and Cultural Health Commentary

Newsvine continues to be the people's New York Times of CyberSpace. One of the neat features of Vine columns is the fact that you can not just read the columnist's articles and feeds but you can follow the person's "Latest Comments" on other topics around the Vine.

Latest comments is a great way to get to know the thinking of someone in CyberSpace that you don't know. Cultural Orientation is visible in a persons words. And If I find a like mind, it following it usually improves my spirits Cultural Health.

I will be using Google Side wiki to take my Cultural Commentary on the CyberRoad. I hope you will join GSW and join me in my new travels.

Or follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Aunk

Note to GSW: Learn from the Vine and add three things to my Google profile.
1. Latest Comments (from my GSwiki)
2. Recent Votes
3. Comments & Feedback (from GSW users)
