Google+ Pro Tips Round Up: Week 8 |► 2 Images and 2 Videos. It's been an eventful week for Google+. Facebook decided to up its game and start rolling out several major updates intended to address privacy concerns. We got a glimpse into the future of Google+ via an insightful discussion between +Bradley Horowitz and +Tim O'Reilly.

Much has been said about how Twitter and Facebook should be worried about Google’s behemoth social network which gained 10 million followers in 16 day, as compared to Twitter’s 780 days, and Facebook’s even longer 852 days. But like any new service online, people may be signing up and doing very little with their accounts.

Google is no stranger to the social game. Back in January 2004, Google launched a social networking site called Orkut. At that time, the other name in the social networking space was Friendster. Myspace hadn't yet launched and Facebook was more than a year away from its first incarnation.

Google+ is the new social networking kid on the block, and one of the main reasons so many people are interested in the service over Facebook is Google+'s proclaimed focus on protecting users' privacy. Whether you're a new Google+ user or you're already a pro, understanding how to control your information on the site can make you feel much more at ease on the social network.

I've been deeply immersed in Google Plus for the last week or so, not only following what's being said about the service but actually using it, kicking the tires and making observations along the way. For what it's worth, I think Google Plus has an incredible amount of potential for a number of reasons.

Google Plus (G+) is a major foray by Google into the world of social media. The platform takes the best of Facebook and Twitter and slaps it into one. I affectionately call it TwitFace.

Google+ is one of the fastest growing Social Network, as it has crossed more than 20 millions of users in just a span of 3 weeks of it's launch. Google+ is the current trending topic on which all the social media experts,designers and bloggers are pitching on to get more out of it.

Dear Lifehacker, I finally got invited to Google+, but now that I'm in everyone's talking about extensions and scripts and other tools I can use to change the way it looks and works. What are some of the best ones to help me get in and start using it?

By B.L. OchmanGoogle+ is headed for 20 million members by this weekend, and, depending on who you talk to, it's either an epic success or an epic failure. But I think many of my esteemed colleagues are looking at Google+ from the wrong point of view.

With Google+ almost two weeks into its test phase, conversation about this new social network service seems to be going in circles. Literally.
