The announcement was made by Google in its blog post that said the services of Google Plus can now be availed by all.Earlier, the service was available by invitation only.The new feature that has been added to the popular Google Plus is a search capability that allows users to crawl through posts on the site.
Clubbing social networking with technology, Google Plus has made its "Hangouts" feature available on smartphones with front-facing cameras. This feature enables users to broadcast their videos online or view these videos as spectators. The feature currently works on phones that runs on Google's Android system. They have also claimed that support for Apple devices is in the pipeline.
"Hangouts should keep pace with how you socialize in the real-world, so today we're launching it on the one device that's always by your side: your mobile phone," senior vice president of engineering Vic Gundotra said on the blog post.
For its part, Facebook said it was introducing a new " ticker" on its users' home pages, providing real-time notifications of what friends are doing on the service. Facebook also revamped the service's main news feed to flag important items.
Facebook is the world's No.1 social networking service, with more than 750 million users. The company has rolled out a series of improvements to its service recently, many of which seem designed to match features Google has used to set apart its rival social networking service, Google+.
Google's infant social network, which counts Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as a member, has met skepticism so far. Some are waiting to see if it can maintain the rapid momentum of its first months.
So try yourself and judge it against worlds no one social giant and guess will it be crowned with new social giant?
Facebook is the world's No.1 social networking site,i don't think that Google + will beat it as many facebook application development teams works in this field.
