Google+ Offers Special Features

Google+ offers other special features as well, including “Stream” which is the newsfeed from those you have chosen to add to your circles as well as your own posts and updates. The really awesome feature is that you can literally control who sees what based on your circles:

By looking at this flowchart we can see that, although Google+’s privacy controls may seem more complicated at first, when it actually comes to making a decision, the decision process is much more complicated on Facebook.”

You can view current updates from within your personal stream by logging into your Google+ account and clicking on your username, or by visiting the main page of your profile.
Google+ also introduced Hangouts which offers live, multi-person video chat between Google+ users.
This is like YouTube & live video combined and blessed by Google...

You can set your status as available or offline, and when you’re active, people from within your circles are able to connect with you via video live feed. In fact, you can have as many people within a video channel as you wish – absolutely free!
