Google has finally launched (in Beta) it’s ambitious answer to full social graph and search integration and they have called it Google+!
Don’t be fooled for a minute that this is just another social network set to keep up with Facebook and Twitter, it’s not. Google has always had the ability to see far enough ahead to pre-empt the next trend and take advantage of what’s happening now to make sure it’s search engine (the primary focus of all things Google) is always at the forefront of search.
Ultimately Google+ and +1 are addons to the search giants engine, incorporating social graph even further into it’s already formidable monopoly of search on the internet. There is a reason why Google is used as both a noun and a verb and is now listed in the latest dictionaries as a word in common use. Google’s motivations have less to do with competing against Facebook and tons more to do with enhancing search and making sure it stays at the top of the world data banks.
Google+ will be able to bring our entire online ‘life’ to our fingertips as we monitor our daily life using apps, smart phones, tablets, laptops and more. In any instant we will be able to check our emails, notifications, and webstats from the same account from this point on everything is integrated.
AND most interesting of all, ALL of it will be used to shape our search preferences using all the billions of bytes of information we are putting into Google’s hands – in other words the new world of the semantic web or Web 3.0 is here. Coupled with the new quantum computers without knowing it this morning you have woken up to a brand new world!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Thanks for being on top of things, Annie. But if this is where technology is taking us, I’m not sure I want to go. Sounds like more ways to be manipulated…I’m working each day to break free of that. I suppose if we could truly ‘trust’ those who wield the power of this information, it could work in our favor, but as it goes today, I’m skeptical.
Hey Donna I tend to agree with you, however I also realise that it is up to us to make the choices no matter what, we decide what we put on the internet, we decide what we allow to be seen, and we decide whether we are logged in to Google or not when we do it. That being said I still believe that social media is opening up the world to new opinion and thought, and that even though in our own small community we may feel we don’t fit in we can find like minds do exist here on earth
So like everything in this universe there is a yin and a yang to this growth of information and thought sharing across the world.
The main purpose of this article was to explain to everyone just what Google is doing rather than getting sucked in to thinking they are competing with Facebook or Twitter over having a social network, I find most people think small about these things when the reality is that the plan is so much bigger and different from what it seems. It seems to be one of my imperatives in my life to explain what’s really going on lol xx
