Google launches own social network


Google launches own social network
Google’s just taken the wraps off of Google+, its brand new social networking layer which is apparently being positioned as the company’s answer to Facebook. Google+ will make use of a black bar at the top of every Google page for accessing new Google+ options for sharing content and accessing notifications.

Google yesterday launched its own social network in an attempt to challenge Facebook with a service that ties together all its existing sites including Gmail.

Google+ is structured in a remarkably similar way to Facebook, with profile pictures and news feeds forming a central core.

Google+ is still in a limited trial mode and has a few "rough edges," according to the company. In the meantime, we want to know what you think. Is Google finally giving Facebook a run for its money? Is this just the latest social flop from the company?
