What Is Google Plus ?
Google+ is Google’s
Social Network, or at least, that is what we all think it is. It is Google’s
effort to push out Facebook and to be the biggest not just in search, but also
in social. But in fact Google+ is not intended to be that Facebook killer. Yes,
off course, if Google gets the chance, they will definitely try to beat
Facebook. But Google+ in fact is more about data: it will be part of every
Google product in the future.
How to Use Google+ Chat
Google+ instant messages go a step further by introducing circles into the mix. Essentially acting as groups you would see on traditional IM buddy lists, the Google+ circles you create can now help you isolate the people you want to IM (or not) with relative ease.
In this illustrated tutorial, users will learn how to:
· Sign-in to Chat
· Use the Most Popular Chat Functions
· Search for Friends on Chat
· Enable Circles for Chat, and
· Set Your Availability
How to Send an IM with Google Plus
· Green Dots: The green circle icon signifies a user is available for chat.
· Yellow Dots: Yellow circles mean the user is idle. When this occurs, IMs sent to that user may not be answered right away as they either have stepped away from the computer without setting availability to away, or have not touched Google+ in awhile.
· Red Dots: Red circle icons signify the user is busy and should not be interrupted.
· Gray Dots: Gray circles mean the contact is offline and cannot respond to messages.
· Camera Icons: When you see the camera icon, it means the user has enabled their webcam and may be available for video chat in a Hangout somewhere. Camera icons which appear yellow or red carry the same meaning as the dot icons above.
Google+ Chat Settings, Functions
1. Availability: As discussed previously, users can set their Chat to reflect their availability to send and receive messages. The icon in the top, left corner is your contact's availability.
2. Collapse: By clicking this icon, the window will shrink along the bottom of the page. To expand the window, re-click the icon.
3. Pop-Out: The pop-out feature is especially helpful for users who want to continue chatting, but need to collapse the Google+ window or the browser completely. This setting can also be of use to people with vision problems who desire larger text.
4. Close: Clicking the X will close the window to your chat entirely. If you accidentally click this while in conversation, you can re-click the contact's name from the buddy list to re-open the window.
5. Actions Panel: In this drop-down menu
A Closer Look at Availability on Google+
· Available: By choosing this option, you signify you are at your computer and able to send and receiving messages. The available setting is the default.
· Busy: The busy setting should be used whenever you must step away from your desk or computer for an extended period of time. Otherwise, you might have IMs stack up and people waiting for a reply!
· Invisible: Want to chat without people knowing you are signed in? Using this setting makes you appear as offline, leaving you free to choose who you want to chat with without interruption. You may still, however, receive messages from persons who believe you will receive it when you sign back in.
· Sign Out: How do you sign out of Google Plus chat and disable receiving messages altogether? This is the answer. Click this to really go offline and close the buddy list. You will still be able to use Google Plus.
