Google Plus (Google+) Looks Like Everything Else

         Google Plus is a new initiative from Google, which aims to simplify your social sharing experience and connect with people who matter to you in real life.Google plus takes a different approach towards social sharing and has better privacy control on the features provided. 

don’t we already have Facebook, Twitter? then what is the difference ? 

          Are you fed up with people who mass tag you in photos and videos which really gets in the way of your social privacy?  You don’t want to remove those friends from your social life, it’s just that you want to prevent them from doing nonsense stuff over and over again.In Google Plus, your friends or followers will have to take prior permission from you, if they want you to tag in a photo or video. There is no Wall so the question of spam links and malicious apps being posted on your profile is burned to death. If you tag someone in a post, and share it only with him, none else can see it. Not even mutual friends !

here's an easy way to understand Google+:

• ·         Circles = Facebook. Share content with your friends, only you don't have to share everything with                         everybody at once. You can pick and choose specific groups.
  ·         Sparks = Google Reader. Subscribe to news and information sources and get a constantly updated   feed.
  ·         Hangouts = Tinychat. Live video conversations with multiple friends at once.
  ·         Instant Uploads = Microsoft Kin (and iCloud, and...). Snap photos with your phone and they're automatically uploaded to an online storage spot on Google Plus.
  ·         Huddle = GroupMe. Group chat.
  ·         Stream = it contain updates from all the people whom you are following. This includes photos, status updates, videos and comments from people whom you have added to your Google + circles.
  
  

     
  Everything in Google + works through Circles.
  A Circle is an identifier for the network you create and it is visible to you only. You can create as many circles you want and add friends to one or more circles that you have created. Noone except you would be able to see the name and visibility of your Google Plus circles.
  The best thing regarding Google Plus is that Google will automatically scan your email contact list and Android contacts and suggest you people whom you want to follow. You may add these people to your circles one by one.
  If you want to follow a celebrity or a famous person on Google Plus, simply search for his name on the search box and add him to a circle you have created. Again, this circle is visible only to you so you can safely name it anything you want.
  
  
  Android users can install the official Google plus application from market.
  
  
  At the moment, google testing with a small number of people. so you can't join without an invitation. 
  but i can invite some of you. so if you want invitation contact me

Chrome is now faster than fast...!!! (chrome instant pages)

Remember the old feature in old Netscape browsers that prefetched links on a page so that when you clicked on it, the page would load from your cache instantly? Google's Instant Pages seems like that.

Here's how it works: You do a Google search. When you click a search result (usually the first one, because Google guesses you want the most relevant link), the resulting page loads almost instantly. So Google takes the time you use to choose a search result and uses that to prefetch a result into your browser's cache, so when you do click it, you'll load it really fast (from local storage).

Google says it only does this when they're very confident that you'll click the result, and then downloads and "pre-renders" it in Google Chrome (executes the Javascript), to save even more time.

It's very, very fast when it's in action, and Google says Instant Pages saves 2-5 seconds for every search. This is on top of the Google Instant feature, which already saved you about 2-5 seconds.



Instant Pages now in Chrome Beta version. The stable version of Chrome will get it in the next few weeks. They're also working on Instant Pages for mobile in the near future.

Chrome may become Ubuntu's browser

There is "a real possibility" that Firefox may be swapped out in favor of Chrome in future distributions of Ubuntu, Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth has said.

Canonical considered using Chrome as the bundled browser in the last development round, but decided to stay with Firefox for 11.10. "That probably keeps us on Firefox for another year, at least, and we'll see from there," Shuttleworth said in a report on Network World today.

Firefox is the longstanding browser for Ubuntu, while Chrome is Google's browser that has been developed in tandem with the company's web-based operating system, Chrome OS. Chrome is seen as being the fastest browser for the Linux operating system.

Ubuntu has gone through a major change with its most recent 11.04 distribution, as consumers saw the Gnome desktop replaced with the Unity desktop.
