Google+ project is definitely a response to facebook becoming an increasing threat to Google’s dominance on the web. Reuters reported that the average U.S. visitor spent 375 minutes on Facebook in May, compared with 231 minutes for Google.
Google+ project is currently under field trials and available by invitation only. To get yourself invited, visit the google+ page and click on keep me posted link. In the meantime, it might be a good idea to take a virtual tour of the Google+ project. It is the best you may be able to practically witness the things which are in store in Google+, unless you receive the invite.
Google+ combines a lot of key features which include:
- Circles
- Hangouts
- Instant uploads
- Sparks
- Huddle

Is it going to revive Google’s fortunes in the social networking space, only time will tell. But the first impression is not that bad.
