Both google+ and facebook are social networking sites. Facebook has been is use for quite a long time, while google+ was established about a year ago. Being a user of both, there are some features that are distinctive to each of them. On google+ there are circles whereby you add people to specific circles for instance of friends, family. But nowadays facebook has adopted a similar feature whereby when adding people it asks you to add them to specific categories. In google+, uploading pictures is instant while in facebook it takes quite some time. Other unique features in google+ include hangouts and sparks. But all in all facebook has a lot people using it compared to google; an estimated five hundred million users upto to date.
In the internet world google is undoubtedly the sole most giant from its birth. But in the field of social services, Google has failed to grab the social networking market. Facebook is undoubtedly the forerunner in the field of social networking with more than 750 million active users. It is the king of social networking with almost no competitors. Now google has launched Google+ to compete with Facebook and the race for the best social network
Similarities:
Interface: The interface appearance of google+ is similar to facebook. Its functions are also quite similar to facebook. Some of the fans of facebook says that, google+ just copies facebook. Google+ has lots of features which are totally inspired by facebook.
+1 and like: The like button of facebook and the +1 button of google plus are similar. Google has announced to use the data that are from +1 in various ways. Uploading the picture is similar.
Spark and RSS feed: Spark of google+ and RSS feed of facebook are same. Spark as well as RSS feed gather great content from the web and deliver.
Video upload: Video upload is similar. But as google owns youtube, the great video sharing site google+ has advantage to share youtube videos.
Differences:
Circles: You are allowed to group your friends in google+, but facebook does not support this feature. This feature is called circle in google+. You can share your status to a specific group or to all of your friends. This feature offer much more privacy than facebook.
Hangouts: Google+ supports video chat. You can hangout with your friends by face to face video chat. It also supports multiple user video chat at the same time. There was no such feature in facebook but recently there is deal between facebook and skype which allows the facebook user one to one video chat. So, hangout is much more convenient.
Huddle in google+ vs Group Message in facebook: The feature hurdle allows sending group message to a circle. It allows including the friends of a circle in a group chat. In facebook, you have to create a group to send a group message. There are many annoying things in a facebook group. You have to select the group admin and so on. But the group chat is same for both. In both google+ and facebook, you are allowed to see live chat between friends.
Instant Upload of google+ vs Picture Upload of facebook: The instant upload feature of google+ is questionable. The pictures are not viewed instantly though the name is instant upload. It is similar to facebook upload. But the graphical interface during upload time is much more aesthetic than facebook’s picture upload. But of course the issue is privacy. You can share it in google+ through circle.
