Google+ Vs Facebook



Every one is asking for an invitation to use g+.
I have been addicted to this since the past so many days!!. I was never so addicted to facebook…:P

Lets start with Google+

1)Photo viewing is much better :
a) Comments : The comments are on the right side of the photo so you
can view about 10 to 12 comments at one go where as in facebook its below

the photo so you need to scroll down.
b) Photo details : You can actually view all the details of the photo
being uploaded. So you can see the ISO, aperture, etc.
c) You can upload your photos from mobile devices at much faster rate
then ever given by facebook.

2)Easy to add people to circles. Whenever you want to stream some
status you can choose which circle to add and which circle to remove.

3)Hangouts : We have an option to use the facility of video calling with a group of 10
friends. That is not present in facebook, they only have video
calling with single user.


4) Compatibility: If you are using google chrome then you can install
an extension named Google+Facebook(i will give the link for web store)
from the web store. It shows you the home page of facebook in google+.

5)Ads : There are no ads in G+.I think it is because of the fact that Google plus has just started. Recently i saw an add on Facebook saying that "You have one gift left... Click here"

6)Edit : You can edit the stream you posted on your account. Means if you make any mistake while writing the post first time, you can go and edit it :)

7)Gif images : These are animated images which are very cute and funny. So its not like a video but animated
images. Try them out, you would love it.

In the following points you will find me more inclined to facebook…J

1)NO WALL : the most irritating thing in g+. Hope it is added
in a short while … J

2)Games : There are no games to play online as is found in facebook.

3)+1 button : some of my friends are not used to this button. It’s like
"like" button in facebook. But difficult to understand why they are
using +1.

4)Friends : All your friends are still on Facebook and there is no way
you can import the contacts from it. There was an extension which used
to do it but facebook said that it is against the policy.

Interesting fact : Mark Zuckerberg has maximum number of followers in Google plus.

I would like to conclude by saying that both are very good social websites. You can

choose any one you like. I am just sharing my views :)
