"Google's social network"

Reviewed by: Peter Warrior / Jun 30, 2011

It's neither Wave nor Buzz. It's something beyond and it looks great.

It may be that Google+ isn't Google's first attempt into social networking. What it's for sure is that it's its best.

Also, it may seem that launching the app when its web counterpart is still in betatesting stage is premature, but appropiate to a world where smartphones become more prominent each day.

Early findings: absolute integration with Android, Picassa, group messaging, easy and intuitive UI, sharing and +1 buttons everywhere, "circles" to grant and deny access to the information you share and, last but not least, instant upload from your device photo gallery to your Google+ Stream.

Everything's easy and clever, usability is wonderful (far more wonderful than you-know-what-starting-by-an F).
We wouldn't like to say that a war's begun. However, it's time to choose sides.

    Shouldn't be forced on users with unrooted phones. The entire point of Android is customization, not apps you can't uninstall.

    I find it funny how Google has the time to update this app and most of their others. But they don't have the consideration to update YouTube so it is actually useable to some users. They can't even add extras to the YouTube app. -_-
