FaceBook Challenger?
Previous failures: Google Wave
Google Buzz
Helps to have: Chrome Browser Google Gmail account
Google Plus (G+)
Google Plus is still in Beta
Someone must invite you
Overwhelmingly single, male, early-adopters of technology
20 million members in first 3 weeks
Its allure lies in the potential for G+ to tie into a HUGE family of Google products: Docs, Calendar, Gmail, Search, Chrome, Reader, etc., ad-infinitum (not to mention the users of all those products)
Google Plus (G+)
Circles Hangouts Huddles Sparks Timeline Instant Upload (Android device) Games (my fave: you can edit an entry, or choose
whether you even want someone to comment on it)
Google Plus (G+) HANGOUTS Instantaneously video
conference with up to 10 people at once.
HUDDLES This is basically Google Chat. You get to invite, accept, join,
and reject people for your chat as you please.
SPARKS Focus on areas of your interest. Google suggests topics, but you can search for your favorites.
