Google Plus (also called Google+ or G+) is a social network platform owned and operated

by Google since 2011. Google wanted to challenge the other social platforms as well as link other

applications such as Drive, Gmail, and YouTube. By use of Google+, people get connected to

online services of their choice for personal, educational, and business advancement. By integrating

Google + with a Google account; the user can easily share his or her documents and files from

Drive or song playlists from Play Music across Android and other Google ecosystems (Anderson,

& Still, 2011). Some important features for the functionality of G+ include:

i. Use of Hashtags

The latest version of Google+ uses hashtags as in the case of other social media platforms

like Twitter. Google will normally analyze posts; posted by users themselves and recommend

hashtags related to them based on social and Google’s search results. All trending topics over the

media and internet will be displayed in the Stream. The Streams allow users to stay connected and

share their experiences on music, sports, etc. (Anderson, & Still, 2011).

ii. Integration

The current version of G+ is compatible with other apps from Google such as Hangouts,

Google Talk and G+ Messenger. Therefore, the current version replaced the original G+ Hangout

video chatting services been used by users in their daily communications.

iii. Cloud services

Google improved the services of Google + to offer full-sized photo auto-enhancements

with up to 15GB cloud storage free, and unlimited spaced at standardized prices; to any user of G+

to enable the user to store his or her data in the cloud.

iv. Photo Editor

The Highlight feature enables Google to automatically pinpoint blurred or poorly exposed

parts of an image uploaded by users themselves and do skin softening, auto-enhance, etc., and

chooses the best images for users. Other features like HDR Smile (for smiling) and Motion Pano is

used to stitch several images together.

v. Redesigned Stream Features

The stream features of Google+ is composed of multiple columns well patterned

with attractive colors. The users can scan more than one post at ago. The videos and photos can

spread and span over multiple columns display; together with new animations. Google + has a

better display than other social media applications like Facebook which displays its features in a

single column (Anderson, & Still, 2011).

vi. Privacy

Google+ allows users to choose which posts and who can view their personal information as

well as their posts. All these features provided in the security settings make people restrict or

decide on who can see their profiles and posts.

vii. Sand (navigation) bar

It's on the top of the application after you log in (gray colored). The sand bar allows the

users to navigate the application when checking updates and posting to G+ while still on Gmail or

Google Reader home page. On the left:

Notifications in the feed since the last online status are shown in a red icon.

There is a share button that allows the user to share his or her posts on the updates of G+, on the

right side of the sand bar.
