Google+ is the latest in social networking technology in which users create personal profiles and then proceed to add friends. Google+ has a feature that allows members to sort their friends into different circles. This way friends, family, and co-workers are sorted into different circles allowing users to share different information with different circles. Google+ also has instant messaging, pictures, and video chat. Users can create “hangouts” in which they video chat with multiple friends at once. Google+ currently has 170 million users and is growing quickly.
