Millions of technology junkies around the globe have become card-carrying members of the Social Media Age. Facebook. Tumblr. Twitter. (And in a not-so-distant past) Myspace. You name it—We’ve created a username, logged in and tried it.

However, nothing stays stagnant (especially the world of social networking), and so these multiple memberships might ultimately prove superfluous—that is if Google and its latest social networking project Google Plus (Google+) have anything to say about it.

A newcomer to the social media scene, Google+ promises to connect you to your friends and interests with a more personalized organizational system than other websites.

Its streamlining features will include:

• +Circles: Instead of a friends list, Google+ allows you to create social circles with a list of certain people and share information with those people only.

• +Sparks: Similar to blogging websites like Tumblr, this feature uses the resources of Google’s famous search engine to compile news and content about your passions from Harry Potter’s final cinematic chapter to the Wall Street’s dips and dives.

• +Hangouts: Taking a leaf from video-chatting services like Skype and Oovoo, Hangouts allows you to connect with people face-to-face in a multi-person video chat. Also, this feature allows you to specifically indicate when you want to participate—so no more inconvenient instant messages at work! (Theoretically.)

• +Mobile: This feature, like most social networking sites of merit, allows you to connect via your phone. Google+ offers instant photo uploading, location tagging and +Huddles, a feature that connects a specified group of contacts in a phone-accessed chat room.

Google+ seems to be accomplishing its “intuitive” design by consolidating the features of other social networking websites into one go-to mega website. What do you think: is this an ingenious idea or an unoriginal move by Google to get into the social networking world?

Regardless, the big question remains: will it topple the almighty Titan that is Facebook? Click here to find out what people have said.

So far membership to Google+ is by invitation only. Will YOU try Google+ when it becomes public?
