Google Plus Vs Facebook- The Possibilities of Google (+) Plus Wining facebook

By
Olabode Olakanmi

In this blog, I will point out few potentials Google+ posses to take over the domain of social media network.

 

Better Friend management

Google’s “Circles” concept is more in line with the way people makes friends in their real life. We have many different kinds of friends, and interact with them and communicate with them in very different ways. So, a different Circle for different friends. This concept is the key for Google Plus which is not abailable I face book.

 

Better photo tagging

When viewing photos in Google plus you can “tag” the people in them similar to the way you do in Facebook, but there is a big difference in the way Google handles the privacy aspect of photo tagging. When you tag someone, you can see this note “Adding this tag will notify the person you have tagged. They will be able to view the photo and the related album.” Facebook does not make an effort to warn people that they have been tagged.

 

 

Integration with Google Services

The biggest advantage of Google+ is its integration with all the Google services. Google will build Google+ social networking features and tools into all of its existing online services from Search to Documents to Video. With this, Google lets you monitor all Google+ events (like updates, messages, etc.) as well as share content with friends without ever leaving the Google services. With this integration, users can think twice to switch for another website for social networking.

 

Easier to find stuff to share

Google plus sparks feature is another important feature from Facebook. Since, Facebook has no search engine, its users must leave the site to find shareable data or they should wait for their friends to share it with them.

Data back guaranteed

In Facebook, you are forced to make certain parts of your personal data “public” and it is very hard to permanently delete your Facebook profile. Google, on the other hand, makes it possible for you to pick up all the data you have banked at Google plus and walk away. This can be done through a Google plus tool called “Data Liberation.” With just a few clicks you can download data from your Picasa Web Albums, Google profile, Google Plus stream, Buzz and contacts.

 

Better Mobile App

If you are an Android user, you may find that getting content from your phone to your social platform is easier with the Google plus mobile application. The application is great, but Google will seek more and more ways to make Android phone a seamless with Google+ social platform. 

 

Hangouts –A better group chat features

Google plus has beat Facebook in the area of chat. With Hangouts you can chat with your group, very easily. Similarly, the new Huddle mobile app makes it easy for mobile (Android) users to start up group text chats. Facebook simply doesn’t offer these tools.

 

Superior content sharing

Google has a stronger security and Google Plus has that capability. For instance, when users share an article or upload a camera image, Google+ gives choices of which friend circles they would like to share that content with.

Introduction

In the last few years, most parts of the world have morphed into an electronically interdependent economic unit where a disruption in one marketplace affects the others. New technologies have emerged, transforming the ways we do business and, consequently, redesigning the world. Innovation in disruptive technologies pushes new and more agile firms to set new benchmarks and forces established companies to incorporate evolving breakthroughs into their models or re-invent themselves to stay competitive.

 

Innovation thus remains a key driver in wealth creation, but the way it happens is changing as a result of new technologies, processes and tools. As social media networks advance, outsourcing ideas to the crowd has become common, while inter-company R&D that pools resources together is a new normal. From agriculture to print media, finance to mortgage and across sectors, industries, and disciplines, the world is being redesigned. The emerging implications are enormous—less energy for processing natural resources, less waste in processed raw materials—and these translate to positive effects on the environment. Yet, few research works exist about these developments, despite the exponential growth rate of new technologies with the potential to massively impact business and society.

Google+(Plus) – Redefining New Trends in Social Network

By

Google+ is already becoming more than just a social network. It’s more like a new platform for communications. Facebook is just one big social jumble that too many of us end up using for business communications because it’s convenient. Google+ only let’s work and life meet where you want it to.

According to Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President, Engineering while introducing the project, he says;

 

+Circles: share what matters, with the people who matter most
Not all relationships are created equal. So in life we share one thing with college buddies, another with parents, and almost nothing with our boss. The problem is that today’s online services turn friendship into fast food—wrapping everyone in “friend” paper—and sharing really suffers:

It’s sloppy. We only want to connect with certain people at certain times, but online we hear from everyone all the time.

It’s scary. Every online conversation (with over 100 “friends”) is a public performance, so we often share less because of stage fright.

It’s insensitive. We all define “friend” and “family” differently—in our own way, on our own terms—but we lose this nuance online.

From close family to foodies, we found that people already use real-life circles to express themselves, and to share with precisely the right folks. So we did the only thing that made sense: we brought Circles to software. Just make a circle, add your people, and share what’s new—just like any other day

 

+Sparks: strike up a conversation, about pretty much anything
Healthy obsessions inspire sharing, and we’ve all got one (or two, or three…). Maybe it’s muscle cars, or comic books, or fashion, but the attraction is always the same: it comes up in conversation, we immediately jump in, and we share back and forth with other fans. Often for hours. The trick is getting things started, and getting over that initial hump. Fortunately, the web is the ultimate icebreaker.

The web, of course, is filled with great content—from timely articles to vibrant photos to funny videos. And great content can lead to great conversations. We noticed, however, that it’s still too hard to find and share the things we care about—not without lots of work, and lots of noise. So, we built an online sharing engine called Sparks.

Thanks to Google’s web expertise, Sparks delivers a feed of highly contagious content from across the Internet. On any topic you want, in over 40 languages. Simply add your interests, and you’ll always have something to watch, read and share—with just the right circle of friends:

 

+Hangouts: stop by and say hello, face-to-face-to-face
whether it’s inside a pub or on a front porch, human beings have always enjoyed hanging out. And why not? It’s how we unwind, recharge, and spend unscheduled time with old and new friends alike. Hanging out is deceptively simple though, and the nuance gets lost online.

Just think: when you walk into the pub or step onto your front porch, you’re in fact signaling to everyone around, “Hey, I’ve got some time, so feel free to stop by.” Further, it’s this unspoken understanding that puts people at ease, and encourages conversation. But today’s online communication tools (like instant messaging and video-calling) don’t understand this subtlety:

They’re annoying, for starters. You can ping everyone that’s “available,” but you’re bound to interrupt someone’s plans.

They’re also really awkward. When someone doesn’t respond, you don’t know if they’re just not there, or just not interested.

With Google+ we wanted to make on-screen gatherings fun, fluid and serendipitous, so we created Hangouts. By combining the casual meetup with live multi-person video, Hangouts lets you stop by when you’re free, and spend time with your Circles. Face-to-face-to-face.

 

+Mobile: share what’s around, right now, without any hassle

These days a phone is the perfect sharing accessory: it’s always with you, it’s always online, and it’s how we stay close with our closest friends. We didn’t want “just” a mobile experience, however, so with Google+ we focused on things (like GPS, cameras, and messaging) to make your pocket computer even more personal.

+Huddle

Coordinating with friends and family in real-time is really hard in real life. After all, everyone’s on different schedules, in different places, and plans can change at any moment. Phone calls and text messages can work in a pinch, but they’re not quite right for getting the gang together. So Google+ includes Huddle, a group messaging experience that lets everyone inside the circle know what’s going on, right this second.

 

 

In my own opinion, despite Facebook’s announcements of “something awesome” to be launched today (July 6), Google Plus’s threat to the world’s de-facto social networking service remains real and imminent.

 

 

 

Microchip Announces 60 MIPS 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and PIC24 Microcontrollers (MCUs)

Microchip has announced 60 MIPS 16-bitdsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and PIC24 microcontrollers (MCUs).   Based upon the next-generation dsPIC DSC/PIC24 MCU core, the 60 MIPS dsPIC33 and PIC24 “E”devices offer larger (536 KB) Flash memory, more RAM (52 KB), greater I/O capability with 144-pin packages, a USB 2.0 OTG interface, and expanded motor-control, graphics, audio, and real-time embedded-control capabilities over the previous-generation dsPIC DSC/PIC24 MCU core.  In support of the first nine dsPIC33 and PIC24 “E” devices released today, Microchip launched two USB starter kits and five Plug-In Modules (PIMs) that can be used with its Multimedia Expansion Board, motor-control development kits, and Explorer 16development platforms.  Also available are 30 software libraries and application notes on topics such as speech and audio, encryption/decryption, communications, and motor control.  The new devices and comprehensive support package help designers create high-performance designs in less time.

 

Microchip’s dsPIC33E DSCs and PIC24E MCUs are fully compatible with the existing broad portfolio of dsPIC33F DSCs and PIC24H/PIC24F MCUs, software libraries and tools, providing a solid growth path for current customers.  The new USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) peripheral enables a connection to a PC, Flash drive and other USB-enabled devices, and 60 MIPS performance means the new devices support high-end industrial and commercial applications, such as Servo motor control, solar inverters, and running dual 3-phase motors in parallel.  Additionally, a new, independent Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode supports multiple stepper motors and dead-time compensation, which reduces software overhead.  Three on-chip analog comparators further reduce system cost and the number of external components required.

 

“Microchip continues to invest in its 16-bit product lines,” said Sumit Mitra, vice president of Microchip’s High-Performance Microcontroller Division.  “Building upon the success of previous-generation dsPIC DSCs and PIC24 MCUs, the new ‘E’ core devices, and their extensive support resources, provide the increased performance, integration, and whole-product solution that customers need for their increasingly complex designs.”

 

The first dsPIC33 and PIC24 “E” devices include four each of the SPI and UART interfaces, as well as two I2C™ interfaces.  A new auxiliary Flash module enables designers to program or erase Flash data without slowing normal CPU operation, which is critical for motor-control, power-conversion and many other applications that require on-the-fly programming.  Improved Direct Memory Access (DMA) functionality automatically starts linked DMA operations, and the improved debugger capability enables complex breakpoints for faster debugging.  Additionally, with enhanced timer capabilities, the dsPIC33 and PIC24 “E” devices’ Input-Capture and Output-Compare modules are more flexible and powerful.

 

Microchip also announced the dsPIC33E USB Starter Kit (part # DM330012, $65) and PIC24E USB Starter Kit (part # DM240012, $65), today. These starter kits can be used for stand-alone development and also work with Microchip development platforms such as its Multimedia Expansion Board (part # DM320005) to enable the development of high-impact user interfaces.

 

Additionally, several Plug-In Modules (PIMs) were introduced for Microchip’s Explorer 16 Development Board and motor-control development kits, including the dsPICDEM™ MCHV (part # DM330023), dsPICDEM MCLV (part # DM330021) and dsPICDEM MCSM (part # DM330022) kits. New PIMs include the dsPIC33E 100-pin PIM for Motor-Control, General-Purpose and Graphics applications (part # MA330025-1, $25); PIC24E 100-pin PIM for General-Purpose and Graphics Applications (part # MA240025-1, $25); dsPIC33E 144-pin PIM for General-Purpose and Graphics Applications (part # MA330025-2, $30); dsPIC33E 144-pin PIM for Motor-Control Applications (part # MA330025-3, $40); and PIC24E 144-pin PIM for General-Purpose and Graphics Applications (part # MA240025-2, $30). The dsPIC33E Dual Motor Control PIM (part # MA330027, $175) enables designers to control two motors using one dsPIC33E DSC and is expected to be available this July 2011.

 

The dsPIC33E and PIC24E devices are also supported by Microchip’s standard development tools, including the MPLAB® IDE, MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger and REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator, as well as the MPLAB C Compiler for PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs (also known as the MPLAB C30 C Compiler).

 

The dsPIC33E DSCs and PIC24E MCUs are available in 64-pin QFN and TQFP packages, 100- and 144-pin TQFP, 121-pin BGA, and 144-pin LQFP packages. Pricing starts at $4.98 each, in 10,000-unit quantities.
