Google Inc., frustrated by a series of unsuccessful attempts to break the social network, is to take another connector to push Facebook and other social sites with a hot new service called Google More.
Google has designed the service, announced Tuesday, to tie all its online properties, setting the stage for a social network itself. It is the largest raid of the company on social networking, from the co-founder Larry Page made the executive in April.
Page made social networking a top priority on the No. 1 global Internet search engine, whose position as the main gateway to online information may be in danger because people spend more time on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
You can set the service in addition to Facebook, which has more than 500 million users, Google is betting on what he says is a better approach to privacy, hot-button issue has been blown on Facebook, and Google in the past.
Central to Google Plus are the so-called "circles" of friends and acquaintances. Users can organize contacts into different environments, tailor - family, friends, work colleagues or college, for example - and share photos, videos or other information only in these smaller groups.
"In the virtual world is not this" separate box "and write and have no idea who is going to do, or whether to land or how it will be embarrassing for six months," said Google vice president of Product Management Bradley Horowitz.
"For us, privacy is not buried deep six panels," he added. Facebook, which has been criticized for confusing privacy controls, a feature introduced last year, which allows users to create small groups of friends. Google, not to mention Facebook by name, said attempts by other social networking services "to create groups were" lock on "activities that do not work so well.
Plus Google will be extended to a limited number of users in what the company calls a field study. Only invited guests will first be able to use the service. Google did not say when it would be more widely available.
Read BUZZ Google stock has put pressure on concerns about rising costs within the company and increase the regulatory procedure with scrutiny - not to mention the difficulty of social networking. U.S. Federal Trade Commission, among other things, is reviewing its business practices. The company's shares have fallen nearly 20 percent this year, weak market in 2010.
Google to create more, the company returned to the drawing board in the wake of several notable failures, including Google and Google Buzz Wave, a microblogging service was marred with the launch of privacy blunders.
"We learned a lot of buzz, and one of the things we learned is that there is a real opportunity in the market for a product that takes people's concerns about privacy and how their information is shared" says Horowitz.
Google, with $ 29 billion in revenue last year, attracted over a billion visitors from around the world for its sites in May, more than any other company, according to analyst firm comScore Web. But the more time people spend on Facebook: The average American visitors spent 375 minutes on Facebook in May, compared to 231 minutes of Google.
Google seems more designed to make its online properties ubiquitous part of the online experience every day, instead of being places where Internet users the opportunity to check in search of a page home or check e-mail.
As with the Facebook service, Google has a web page more important than a constant update shows comments, photos and links shared by friends and contacts, reports Reuters.
A toolbar at the top of most Google sites - as the main search page, the site of Gmail and maps of the site - allows users to access their personalized nutrition information. You can then make its own flow information.
In addition Google will also offer a special video chat feature, where up to 10 people can get on a conference call. And Google will automatically save the pictures taken on mobile phones in its Internet servers, allowing a Google image-Plus user access from any computer and share them.
Asked if he expected people to switch from Google to Facebook Plus, Google vice president of engineering Vic Gundotra said that people may decide to use both. "People today use multiple tools. I think what we propose here has some very clear advantages around certain basic needs, "he said.

Voice And Data Puts Mobile Users In India At 500 Million, Not 800 Million
Voice and Data magazine, which analyzed the statistics released by the telecom watchdog TRAI to industry data and inputs, set the number of active mobile users in India at 500 million, which is well below 800 million dollars is expected that the official number of mobile subscribers.
Telecom watchdog, education, pins subscriber base flap in February 2011 to 791 million euro (826 million including landlines), April 6, 2011 statement in which a net increase of 20 million mobile phone users in the month February. Voice & Data, India's telecoms industry magazine Publisher's largest South Asian special media information, the report estimated the regulator this month put the entire mobile service 810000000 March, assuming a net increase of 20 million in March 2011.
A note in April 6 statement gives the first warning: "The active wireless subscribers in the VLR 563 million in February 2011, indicates that the actual number of mobile users in India is lower than the grade 810 million or even 791 million.
The VLR or Visitor Location Register is a database of subscribers who have wandered into the jurisdiction of the mobile switching center (MSC) which serves it. Each base station in the network is served by only one VLR, and thus a customer can be present in more than one VLR at a time. So VLR 563 million in February means that the remaining 228 million subscribers are inactive: users (usually prepaid) not charged with their Sims in a long time and in a grace period before disconnecting. This grace period can vary considerably, even extends to month or a year, even if those users are unlikely to renew and recharge.
The second major drawback is that it is not paid subscriptions. If a person has two SIM cards, will appear as two subscribers in the TRAI data. The details of this study appear in the next issue of Voice and Data is available online voicendata.com.
The investigation of the previous loan and BSNL CMD Kuldeep Goyal as saying "It 's clear, with 800 million subscribers does not mean 800 million users, the actual number of active users should 450-500000000 area."
There is no solid data on multiple SIM ownership, a trend very large in India, through the large number of handsets sold SIM double and triple. According to industry estimates conservative multiple-SIM ownership at least 15 percent to 30 percent of the total SIMS. That is, if you randomly select 100 users moving to India, they will own 115 to 130 active SIM them. Other industry sources say that figure is too conservative, and multi-SIM ownership is well above 30 percent.
"The combination of SIM cards for mobile phones to an entry price of Rs 500 and above, and" login affordable life plans provoked a surge of new mobile connections, "said Naveen Mishra, Senior Analyst, Telecommunications India looking CyberMedia. Support Voice & Data argument further, he adds. "More than a third of the handsets sold in the country during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was a telephone double or triple-slot SIM, compared with less than a hundred multi-SIM mobile phone sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2009."
