A quick look at Google+

Google+ makes connecting on the web more like connecting in the real world. Share your thoughts, links and photos with the right circles. Use easy, spontaneous video chat to strike up conversations with as many as nine people at once. Get everyone on the same page with fast, simple group chat. We’re very excited about the new approach to sharing we’ve created through Google+, but this is really just the beginning.

Circles

Watch video

You share different things with different people. But sharing the right stuff with the right people shouldn’t be a hassle. Circles make it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself, just like real life.

Hangouts

Bumping into friends while you’re out is one of the best parts of going out and about. With Hangouts, spontaneity hits the web. Whether you’re home in your pajamas or hitting the streets with your mobile phone, video hangouts let you bring up to 9 people into your world. It’s the next best thing to everyone being there.

Watch video

Games

Google+ has a game room. Play poker, build a new civilization, humiliate a pig, or just click wildly at anything that moves. When you do something worth talking about, it’s easy to share it just with the people interested in your gaming updates. Beating a friend’s high score is always a good excuse to say hi.

Search

What was that restaurant your friend was raving about last week? Who’s got some good tips on ballroom dancing? What’s it like to be at the World Cup? Search brings you updates from your circles, news from around the web and public Google+ posts, giving you instant access to the topics you care about and the people who care about them along with you.

I am still learning to use it myself but so far I like it better then FaceBook. They look about the same but Google + looks easier to use.

For now, we can't make "business" pages, but it looks like that is coming soon ...

You got it right.... just copy the url (the code in the address bar at the top of the browser you use when you are on your home page there) and paste it here just like you did... now we are in the same circle... :)

Here is a link to me....I have been slow with Google+ but do enjoy it when I am there. I enjoy seeing my friends from fb on here too:)

Here's mine: https://plus.google.com/?hl=en&tab=mX# (It might be better if you copy and paste into your browser bar--the "#" sign didn't come out as part of the URL, and it should have.

There is a way to shorten your URL, but I have not figured it out yet.

I'm hoping this will become a viable alternative to Facebook for businesses. I'm fed up with Facebook! I'll keep using it for now, though...

I just joined. Don't really know what it's all about yet. Here's my link: https://plus.google.com/u/0/?tab=XX#

Don't you have to have the person's real name to add them? I couldn't just put in an url. How do I add people to my circles?

When I click on anyone of your Google links it takes me to my Google page? I don't get this. How do I add you all as friends on Googl;e +? Except for Lilac Dreams. Her link worked and I was able to add it to my Alleycatlane circle.
