Google+ is Google's new social network that aims to rival Facebook. It launched in June 2011 and quickly gained 25 million users. Key features include Circles for organizing contacts, Hangouts for video chatting, and a Stream for sharing updates. While Google+ is growing quickly, it still trails Facebook significantly in total users. Success is not guaranteed as Google+ will need to overcome Facebook's large head start and build more appeal beyond just being another Google product.
