What is Google +
Google+, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like are all social networks. They’re designed to let you share up-to-the second updates, ideas, thoughts, links and media with your friends and the public.

How is Google+ different as a
social network?
• Google has integrated Google+ with its other
services (and continues to do so): Search, YouTube, Gmail and more. Google+ is already built into services you use every day.
• Circles differentiate Google+ from Facebook by allowing users precise control over who sees what.

Concept of Circles • One creates circles of people (groups).
• People you link with don’t know which circle you have put them into.
• You decide who to share with.
