OK, so here we are with Google+. Well once you have signed up( if you have already signed up with any of Google's other services you can use the same username and password) you can now check out your homepage which will have this kind of layout.I have edited out any parts from my contacts that I don't have permission to include in the screenshots, other then that this should look just like your page, focusing on the 'stream' area. Maybe without a profile photo of me, if you have got that profile pic then you have some explaining too do, don't you?

So, here we have a familiarly set out layout to those who have used the likes of facebook, with the 'box' to update your status and add to your stream pics, movies, ect. When you decide to add something to your stream you then need to decide which of your contacts to send the update too.  Now, this is where Google+ is a different from other social networking websites like the mentioned facebook.. When you want to add something to your stream and then decide who to send to, you need to decide which 'circle' to send to.

In The Circle

Now 'circle' is the name Google + gives to a group of contacts. You create these groups under the 'circles' section. These are where you store your contacts-you add them to a circle that represents the group of contacts they are. For example when you sign up you will already be given some circles, one is Friends, so you can add your friends to that circle. Say you were uploading a photo you wanted to show the contacts in your friends circle, you would select their circle and the photo would then be sent to that group. If you then wanted to send the photo to another group of contacts, then you would also need to select their circle.

So that's the circle system in brief. Now what you can add to your stream is the classic social networking fare; text, videos, photos and they have also gone the way of the likes of forsquare in that you can post the location are at with the messages you send to your stream.
Next, I'll post on the other features of Google+.

Myspace 'Pure Music' Social Networking Site

You may of seen that social networking website myspace has been made into a 'Pure Music' website so that the uploaded content is now only on music. While in some ways I am thinking they want to focus their user uploaded content to music, I liked the fact that they offered other user generated content to be showcased such as comedy and types of film and they do still have other video content uploaded. I have been a bit of a twitterer and a facebooker of recent weeks(I mean I have been on both facebook and twitter of recent weeks more then other social networking sites, but I am a fan of some of the myspace features and have got back to using them too. They have some great new features such as Daily Charts for the uploaded videos. I think their shaping up as a very good user generated video website with its ideas. If you haven't got into myspace you may want to take a look 

Yes, I have been thinking of layout ideas for this blog like for example some graphical elements.

Is It Time To twitter?

Hi. This post I wanted to write after I read in The Sun(there are other newspapers available but not as good as them) about a website they did an article about. So Thanks to them for covering a story on it.Right,so today's post on Blogged On Internet , I wanted to mention twitter as the site I meant. Some of you may know what that is and some off you may be thinking, what? Well for those of you unaware, twitter is a website, which I think counts as a Social Networking Site, but it has some noticeable differences though. I mean for example, with your facebook and myspace, you may find that some may post an update once daily,some maybe more often, some less often. I have not seen very often at all people make another post just a few minuets after their last one. Well with twitter, I have found this to be different. Take the example the Sun Reporter used with Stephen Fry's Twitter Page. Stephen had made various comments about his day and what he had been doing (witty and interesting as you might except from Stephen,recommend checking his out) within the space of a couple of hours. Now on facebook there may be the 'Status Update' option which some may use to express a feeling or mood or maybe what they have/are doing. This can be a good feature. But on twitter using a smiler system to this, there is a box that can be filled(seems it may be limited to a certain amount of characters-I believe 140- where you can express the answer to this question-What Are You Doing?You may want to give your feelings abut what you are doing, it can be made more or less personnel, that's what you can decide on. Its got a very simple to use interface, there may not be as many features as the likes of myspace, bebo and facebook, but then I expect that might be the point, to keep it simple with the main idea been updating 'What You Are Doing Now'. And also finding out What Other's Are Doing Now. Yes, because you can choose to follow other people's updates, by doing so there postings can then be added to your homepage to be read. A bit like 'The Wall' on facebook. So far I have added to my 'following' list- Stephen Fry and A blog on Chocolates. I don't know how many people are on their yet, but apparently, more and more people have been signing up to them as the years have gone by since 2006 when I believe they started according to The Sun. Maybe there's some posts on there you may find really interesting, maybe you want to follow what someone is telling twitter users about their day. Maybe their is a celebrity on their you may want to follow their updates. I don't know all the famous people on their but perhaps you may find someone you like. I found Kylie Minogue who posted 1 update so far. A word of warning as with all these kind of sites, try to find out if they are who they say they are when finding people, keep in mind they may not be the actual person they say they are as sometimes like I have found on myspace some people have had a habit of putting there name down as a famous celebrity who they may not be.
Well having only just joined twitter myself the other day (stuwieben, if you wanna twitter me-is that the phrase? well if you want to follow my updates anyway) I have only made a few updates myself, but I look foward to using this site more and have a feeling it may be one to take note of.
