What is Google+? Why should I upgrade?

[R]

Google+ is basically Google's duplicate version of Facebook. You are right. You can post statuses, comment on pictures, and play apps on there. But the friend system works differently. Instead of "friends", you follow people in "circles" You can organize circles: Friends, following, coworkers, and more categories you can create. You can post statuses to All or to only Friends or one of your circle categories.

Honestly you shouldn't upgrade to Google+. Here are reasons why:

1. Nobody uses it because of Facebook.
2. People just don't like Google+'s features.
3. Waste of time creating a "Google version" of Facebook when they already have a Facebook.

Hope this helped! -_-
