Look forward to A Brand New SOCIAL NETWORK: GOOGLE +


Google has finally unveiled Google+, the company’s top secret social layer that turns all of the search engine into one giant social network.
Facebook is huge today and it seemed pretty invincible till the near past. But not any more. It seems Google is all set to topple the proverbial apple cart!
Google+, which begins rolling out a very limited field test on Tuesday, is the culmination of a year-long project led by Vic Gundotra, Google’s senior vice president of social. The project, which has been delayed several times, constitutes Google’s answer to Facebook.
The search giant’s new social project will be omnipresent on its products, thanks to a complete redesign of the navigation bar. The familiar gray strip at the top of every Google page will turn black, and come with several new options for accessing your Google+ profile, viewing notifications and instantly sharing content. The notification system is similar to how Facebook handles notifications, complete with a red number that increases with each additional notice.

Am I just Me? Facebook dilemma

I am a Mom of teenage girls, I am also a CEO of a small Agency, I am a family binder, bringing all members together, I am a "still-perceived-as-young" classmate to many old friends and of-course, goes without saying I am ME. 


But Facebook considers it an integrity breach if I have more than one identity. Which means I cannot actually be the ME I want to be, in my different roles in life. So here is a gaping hole in the Social longevity of an individuals profile on Facebook. It is limiting and confusing.


If Facebook doesn't take note and make provisions , to allow me to effectively manage my various profiles and associated roles, soon someone else will. 


Even for people with relatively quiet lives, Facebook, with all its merits and qualities, still tends to be a place where , no matter how candid the intent, one ends up only projecting confused parts of ones overall personality.


So here is a new niche....any takers??
