Been waiting to get into Google+? Hoping to get an invite so you can start using the most awesome new social networking interface ever? Well, buckle your seatbelts – Google has opened the floodgates! Google Plus is now open to everyone, no invite required.

No more asking when it is going to happen – now it is just a matter of getting all your friends, co-workers, and anyone else you can think of to join this already booming social phenomenon. Need more reasons to join? How about the fact that Google Plus offers Hangouts?

Google Hangouts allows you to video chat with a GROUP of friends (sort of like Skype) for free! You will be able to screen share, use a virtual sketchpad, and even more! This can work great for collaborative teams who are separated by geography when working on projects to be sure.

While the Google Plus game selection isn’t quite as big as Facebook’s, it is definitely growing and we can easily see it getting just as big if not bigger in the long run. Another bonus to Google Plus? How about the ease with which you can place people in your chosen groups (known here as Circles)? You simply choose what Circle you want them in when adding them. Then when you post, you can choose what Circles will see that post. Voila!

Gonna keep things short here since we anticipate an influx of new arrivals on Google Plus. If you haven’t already done so, head on over and sign up for your Google Plus today and become part of something that will change the face of social networking forever!
