Could aanything replace Facebook as the king of social networking? Absolutely.
Several years ago, Facebook replaced Myspace, after all. The future of online social networking is always uncertain, but some sites have emerged that showcase a user’s personality differently, such as Linkedin. Your social personality and your professional personality are rarely the same. It’s safe to say that as long as you have a personality that isn’t represented on a networking site, there's room for another site to emerge.
Google+ doesn’t offer you a certain personality type to display. Rather, it gives you control of how you share various versions of yourself with various people. And Google+ is similar to Facebook -- but there's one salient difference: circles.
You can organize your contacts into different circles depending upon your connection with them. When you start your Google+ account, you are prompted to place some of your contacts into default circles: friends, family, acquaintances and following. The final option is for people you don’t know personally but whose posts you find interesting.
The circles of Google+ are designed to let you share information with some members of your social network that you don’t necessarily want to share with other members. Maybe there are pictures that you want to show your parents that you don’t want to show your college friends. You might want to share an article with your colleagues from work that your friends might have no interest in reading. This difference has been what some have seen as a shortcoming on Facebook. If you decide to sign up for a Google+ account, here is how you can manage your circles simply and effectively.
