Why Google+ is better than Facebook ? Answers here !!

It’s been only few days that Google+ entered the market, and the new social network from Google already is making buzz over internet as a social network which will beat Facebook. A lot of tech websites are talking about Google+ and what makes it different or better than Facebook, and how can it beat Facebook. So we too decided to give it a try and find out whether the buzz is for real or it’s just like what we saw at the time of Google Wave and Google Buzz.


The prominence or as you call the marketing of Google+ is so strong that even the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has got a Google+ account.

A lot of people are still thinking that will Google+ succeed in dethroning Facebook as the global leader in Social Networking, just like Facebook did to MySpace.

After giving serious thought and research to Google+, here’s what we found, or you can say, here are the reason why Google+ is better than Facebook:


1) Google+ Circles: Better Privacy Control


Rather than having a Facebook’s Friends’ list, Google+ groups your friends via +Circles. And the best thing about these +Circles are that it allows you to share your status update or photo or anything with your choice of +Circle. This is something that gives Google+ a bit edge over Facebook in privacy control.
According to a Google engineer, “Its really vital for us. You should be able to have control on who to and who not to see your posts.”
Google+ will be able to drag their friends into social “circles”, which they will be creating as per their liking. The circles are designed in a manner that they remain private. For instance, users can name the circles as “Acquaintances,” “Family” and “Co-workers.”

2) Google+ Hangouts: Allows Video Chat For Up To 10 People
Considering the fact that Facebook even now doesn’t have the video chat feature, tech buffs are already pointing out where Google+ already is ahead in the social networking game. Using +Hangouts in Google+, 10 people at a time could video chat using +Hangouts.
The +Hangouts gives the users a web platform to hangout with their circles, and considering the fact that people have always liked hanging out with their friends in family, this we think is a superb offering.
We’ve heard that Facebook will be launching Skype-Powered browser video chat on Wednesday as an answer to +Hangouts.

3) +Sparks: Choose Who to Share News/Topics With
This by far is our favorite feature, and the simple reason for that being the fact that the +Sparks gives articles and videos that it thinks you might be interested in reading and hence gives you something to read, watch and share whenever you are free.

A Google+ user might want to share a news or video with specific Circles in their Social Network, and the good thing here is that if you want you can either share the news or topic with a certain Circle on your social network or can share it with all of your connections on Google+.

So, there are some of the reasons why we think that the Google+ is better than Facebook, if you have different opinions or whatever you think of Google’s new Social Network, do let us know.
