Google+ is a social networking site that has been in the internet
realm for two weeks now. Within that period of time, many things have
changed in the site which challenged other networking sites like
Facebook and eventually lead to launching its new features. Regardless
of the expectations of the people and the launching of this new site,
the thrill continues to stream over the web whether it will reach
success or face downfall. There are many talks on whether which site
will lead and be the top of the Social Networking Era.
Facebook launched its first video chat application in which Google+
find tricky and challenging. Based on the management of Facebook, the
said video chat is going strong and is valued by Facebook users.
However, Google+ is actually having an escalating number of users and
its stockholders are celebrating their early victory. Therefore, if
Google wants to grab the members from Facebook and make them as its own,
it needs to have unique and selling features that will add up to its
smooth cover.
Because of this, developers have not lost precious time in having
opportunities to create useful and efficient add-ons to their new social
networking site. They see to it that the site possesses good features
and various extensions that will make Google+ user friendly and exciting
as well.
Here are few of the many unique and fun extensions only G+ users could enjoy.
