Google+ is Google's social network that allows users to share updates and media with circles of friends. To set up an account, users visit Google.com/+ and create a profile with optional additional information. They can then add contacts to circles to organize friends into groups and control what is shared. Key features include Hangouts for video chatting, Messenger for group texting, a +1 button to like posts, and access from mobile devices.
