Since Google unveiled the Google+ social media platform to the world, Twitter streams and industry blogs have been dominated by conversations about whether Google can topple Facebook, the exciting features that Google+ offers like ‘Circles’ and ‘Huddles’, which most people who have an interest in tech will know about already (if you don’t where have you been for the last week?).

I got onto Google Plus as soon as an invite came my way, and I must say my expectation were pretty much blown out of the water, as Google+ has shown a lot of early promise. I can be forgiven for having low expectations, what with Google’s previous failed attempts at social media. But in Google+ there are a number of features that have got a lot of people very excited and Google have promised this is only the start.
