Who among us here could live a day without checking the recent status
of our online friends from various social networking panels? To those
who are not really socially inclined, they would just ignore this fact.
Yet to those who are active in keeping their status fresh, would
definitely love the following freshest and juiciest updates and news
among the circle of friends that we have on our end. Definitely, you
would love to know the latest competitor in the social networking race
and Google, being called Google+, is now preparing things. However, what
are the 10 reasons to be hooked on it? Check this out.
10. Google is the Top Search Engine Company
Everyone is aware of how much Google has invaded online businesses
and they even merged up with other online companies just to widen their
connection and productivity. This is the toughest part that competitors
have to face because longevity wise, it could beat them by experience
and the ability to stand alone without contacting third party groups may
be more of a posing challenge. They have a real time system, which is
the best part to beat down Facebook.
9. Proper Management of Data
One of the setbacks of Facebook is how personal data is being shown
on "public” especially with those who are not really techie enough to
know how to navigate and understand how each feature of many social
networking services work. Everyone who joins most of the social
networking sites online is doing it for fun and curiosity especially
since it’s of the crazes these days.
8. Better Business Production
Google understands that there are employees who are taking their time
off to drop and say hi to their social network friends during office
hours. Google+ brings one way of maintaining professionalism and at the
same time keeping you at work since it has word processing, calendars,
application market, and this is a good way to keep your pacing focus on
the business yet socializing professionally speaking.
7. High Quality Photos
This is one of the best features of some social networking sites
aside from video uploading. Unfortunately, there are major setbacks on
the resolution of the pictures and the time of uploading each picture
especially if you are uploading more than 50 images where you have to
wait lazily to complete the process. Google+ has ways of handling photos
that can be viewed in different sizes and angles.
6. Personalized Layout
Everyone is aware that before Facebook heated up the platform as the
number one social networking site, Friendster had it share of
personalizing the profile layout of your account. Hold on, because you
could have backgrounds that are more interesting and organizing your lay
out, even giving your own shades of color and add themes to your
preference.
5. Photo Tagging
Confidentiality is an important aspect that Google+ has studied and
researched and it’s one of the differences of the photo-tagging feature
that Facebook has at the moment. The funniest way of saving yourself
from any mess but sharing it with people you want can be kept as
privately as possible.
4. Mobile Application
Along with the biggest changes that would transpire and happen in our
time is the highest number of people that opt to have their socializing
done conveniently using their mobile phones than bringing their whole
house of gadgets. It is directly linked to the site and offers better
features that users can comfortably use.
3. Privacy Protected
Everyone is aware of cyber bullying, scam, viruses, and worst, cyber
crime. Hacking is the primary issue that people are scared at being too
cozy on the net because it would endanger not just their personal lives
but their loved one as well. This is the unique feature of Google+,
which would automatically notify the profile user using alerts,
warnings, especially if you are being added on other circles. You’ll
have the control not to share posts, pictures, links, and videos.
2. Group Video Chat
With Facebook just introduced the video chat feature being powered by
Skype, Google has toppled the competition again because of the group
video chat as seen on the Hangouts section of the Google+ social
networking site. Yes, you can actually see and speak with others,
without being too concerned on the quality since processor speeds and
video quality are boosted on a higher level. Imagine speaking with more
than five online friends on cam, at the same time! Skype may barely
settle on this, and Facebook has not even begun yet.
1. The Attractive Circle of Friends
This is the very reason why social networking sites are roaming
around online and has invaded most of the young people today but adults
won’t be defeated with the updates. In fact, Google+ has offered the
latest way of keeping the company of friends that you would like to
include on your list of friends and this is called "Circle”. This is the
best way of organizing the number of people that you have added on your
end and grouping them according to their label and relationships with
you.
If you want to take the challenge, and experience the bursting offers that Google has for you, then wait and see for yourself.
10 Reasons Why Facebook is Better than TwitterPeople have become so addicted to Facebook that one window is always
open where they are online through this social network. Around 600
million use Facebook whereas Twitter has around 200 million users. In
that sense, Facebook is more widely connected and international than
Twitter. Facebook is for close family and friends, whereas Twitter is to
follow those people whom you want to be friends with or share some
interests alike. Both Facebook and Twitter have their own fan following,
each is competitive for the services they provide. Both are the one of
the largest social networking sites and each day they are evolving with
addition of newer and better features than ever before. This generates
more users and hence more involvement on their platforms. But here are
10 reasons why Facebook is better than Twitter:
1. Better Expression
Profiles on Facebook are more elaborate and exclusive. You can get to
know them better through reading their pages, whereas Twitter lacks
that connectivity of people. The tweets are anything about anything, but
on Facebook people tend to right more thought-provoking and discussion
driven statuses which then leads to more excitement and involvement of
people on the platform. One can clearly see and tell who are friends
with whom on Twitter as there is elaborative categorizing on Facebook,
whereas on Twitter one is not sure of how much a follower is closer to
the person he or she is following.
2. Interest Oriented
Another better thing about Facebook is that it constantly suggests
people whom one might know to connect with them on the site. Whereas
there is only a conventional way of finding friends out on Twitter
through various email services that one might be using. Through those
email services one can see who is part of the website and can request
connection. But on Facebook one knows who are friends with whom and in
that way can find like-minded people easily forming groups and
supporting causes that one believes in. This is how Facebook is more
interest oriented.
3. News Feed is Better
Facebook is really good at suggesting news and making you reach out
to the details of an event or happening that you might be eager to know
exclusively about, whereas Twitter will only break the news for you. It
works more like a breaking news tickler and a channel for headlines
only. To get to know the depth of a story and to cover it better,
Facebook is a better option certainly with enthusiastic debates and
discussions on every day events that affects our lives.
4. Personal Connection
On Facebook, people tend to present themselves virtually, as if it is
their virtual lives and their virtual existence. Whereas on Twitter,
people just tweet whatever that they are thinking momentarily and might
even change their mind on that. So in this particular sense, whatever
that is being said or much rather written on Twitter does not
necessarily stand for longer. It changes with the passage of time and is
not a status so as to say.
5. Instant Connectivity
On Facebook one can have better connectivity with their contacts than
on Twitter as there are many means to communicate, like writing on
their profile walls, sending messages or simply writing a status and
indicating them. Whereas on Twitter, the connection is only through
tweets and messages, and one cannot have more in depth discussion or
thought exchange in such a limited platform.
6. Different Environments
Facebook is where you can express yourself and show who you are,
whereas on Twitter the window to self-depiction is very narrow. Both of
these sites have basic differences in what their purposes are and the
means through which they achieve them. Their environments are different
and their uses have thus been deemed to be different when it comes to
social networking. To each his own, therefore, for some people Facebook
might coincide with their purpose and method of usage better than for
someone who prefers Twitter for their own interests. It is all about
what suits ones needs better than the other and one should choose that
option.
7. Everything At One Place
On Facebook one can find everything at one junction only and one does
not has to roam around to get all that one needs to keep up with. There
are photos, videos, links and status updates, and all that in one
place. Around more than a billion photos have been shared on Facebook by
2010. Whereas on Twitter one has to use couple of other services to get
see whatever one wishes to through different formats.
8. Branding Opportunity
One of the best features that Facebook has is that of personal
profile that one could create along with a page or group for any
business or any other purpose. Facebook pages work almost like
mini-websites for the brand promotion and information. Whereas on
Twitter there is no such privilege. One has to just follow the profile
or account or more specifically their channels, but there is no such
thing as pages or groups on Twitter, which then again leads to its uses
being limited only.
9. Chatting With Friends
On Facebook one can easily chat with friends and send instant
messages. There is a threaded type discussion on Facebook which you
could follow as it informs you instantly whenever someone has posted a
new comment on your status or your photo or any other link that you have
shared. This is the biggest feature of connectivity that Twitter lacks.
As it is just about writing limited 140 characters tweets with no
messaging to friends and no chatting with them online.
10. Supports Games and Apps
The interesting thing about Facebook is that it has games to play and
have fun, where your friends could also join in as competitors, which
doubles the excitement. According to a statistics, about 20 million
people play games on Facebook daily. Besides this, it supports thousands
of apps to enjoy and kill boredom. Whereas on Twitter there is no such
exciting activity going on, which then makes it a bit dull. Source: tiptoptens
