Among the most basic human needs is the need to connect with others. With a smile, a laugh, a whisper or a joy, Google + connect with others every day.
Today, the connections between people increasingly happen online. However, the subtlety and substance of real life interactions are lost in the rigidity of Google online tools.
From this base, human exchange, online is stupid. Even broken. And repair.
Google team would like to take the nuances and richness of real life to share software, want to make Google a better including yourself, your relationships and interests. And so begins the Google plus project
Not all relationships are equal. So in the life of Google + share one thing with college friends, one with parents, and almost anything with our boss. The problem is that today the online friendship turn into fast food services to wrap them all in "friend" really suffers paper and share:
- It is neglected. Google + just want to connect with people at certain times, but Google's online + listen to everyone all the time.
- It's scary. All the talk online (with over 100 "friends") is a public performance, so Google + often share less for stage fright.
- It is insensitive. Google + all define "friend" and "family" differently-in their own way on our own terms, but Google + online lose this nuance.
- In light of these deficiencies Google + we ask: "What do people really?" Y + Google did not have to look far for the answer. People, in fact, selectively share all the time with their circles.
Family about amateur + Google found that people already use the circles of real life to express themselves and share with precisely the right people. Google + So did the only thing made sense: Google + Circles led software. Just make a circle, add your people and share what is new, like any other day:
Plus Sparks: a conversation on almost anything
Obsessions inspire healthy exchange, and Google + have one (or two, or three ...). Maybe it's muscle cars, or comic books, or fashion, but the attraction is always the same: it comes up in conversation, Google + immediately jump, and the participation of Google + round trip with other fans. Often for hours. The trick is to get things started, and get over that initial hump. Fortunately, the web is the ultimate icebreaker.
The web, of course, is full of great content of the articles in time for vibrant photos of funny videos. And the great content can lead to great conversations. + Google noted, however, is still very difficult to find and share the things that Google does not care + about, without much work, and a lot of noise. So, Google + built an engine for online sharing called Sparks.
Thanks to Google's web experience, Sparks offers a highly contagious channel content over the Internet. In any topic you want, in more than 40 languages. Just to add to their interests, and always something to see, read and share, with only the right circle of friends:
Plus Meeting places: stop by and say hello face to face to face
Whether in a pub or on a porch, humans have always enjoyed passing the time. And why not? This is how Google + relax, recharge, and spend time schedule, with old and new friends alike. Exit is deceptively simple, however, and the nuance is lost online.
Just think that when you enter the bar or step on his porch, which is in fact signaling everyone around her. "Hey, I have some time, so feel free to stop by" Moreover, this tacit understanding that puts people at ease, and stimulate conversation, but the online tools of today's communication (like instant messaging and video calls) do not understand this subtlety.:
• They are annoying to begin with. You can ping everyone that is "available" but is forced to interrupt someone's plans.
• They are also very clumsy. When someone does not respond, do not know if it's just not there, or just not interested.
With + Google + Google wanted to make meetings fun on the screen, smooth and casual, so Google + venues created. By combining the informal meetup with several people live video venues allowed to pass through when you are free, and spend time with their circles. Face to face:
Google Plus Mobile : share what's around now, without any hassle
Today a phone is the perfect accessory to share: always with you, always online, and that's how Google + be close to our closest friends. + Google do not want "just" a mobile experience, however, so with Google + Google + focused on things (such as GPS, cameras, and messaging) to make your Pocket PC even more personal.
+ Location, Location, Location
In life, the places Google + visit to the form of conversations in a lot of significant ways. If Google + call John from the airport, which is likely to ask about our trip. Or if the texts of Jane from a nearby restaurant, Google + could join her for dessert. With Google + you can add your location for all shipments. (Or not. It always depends on you.)
+ Instant Upload
Get photos from your phone is a huge pain, so most of us do not even bother. Of course, the images are meant to be shared, not stranded, so Google created instant + Up to help you do not leave behind a photo. While you are taking pictures, and with your permission, Google + add your photos in a private album in the cloud. This is always available through their devices ready to share as you see fit.
+ Huddle
Coordination with friends and family in real time is very difficult in real life. After all, all at different times in different places, and plans can change at any time. Phone calls and text messages can work in a pinch, but are not quite well to get the band together. So Google + includes Huddle, a group messaging experience that allows everyone within the circle of knowing what is happening at this very second.
Starting today Google + is available on Android Market and the mobile network, and is very soon to the App Store.
+ You: put first in any Google
That is the project + Google so far: Circle, Sparks, and mobile venues. We are starting in the field trial, so you may find some rough edges, and the project is by invitation only. However, online sharing needs a serious re-think, so it's time Google started +. Just one more thing, really the only thing you.
And more than one billion other trust Google, and Google + do not take lightly. In fact, we have focused on the poster for more than a decade: data release, which works for an open Internet and the respect for freedom of people to be who they want to be. + Google account, however, that Google + is a type of project that requires a different kind of approach you. That's why we are giving you more ways to stay private or go public, the most significant decisions about their friends and their data, and more ways to let us know how we're doing. All of Google.
When you get your invitation Google + hope you will join the project. But it is entirely up to you +.
