For me I think the  main different between them is the social options. Facebook wants you to social with everyone while Google+ let you to choose who to social with.

Here are a quote from Google+ user Mike Elgan

Here’s what I love about Google+ in general and the Google+ Diet in particular:

Instead of saying, “I’m going to write a blog post now,” or “I’m going to send an e-mail” or “I think I’ll tweet something” you simply say what you have to say, then decide who you’re going to say it to.

If you address it to “Public,” it’s a blog post.

If you address it to “Your Circles” it’s a tweet.

If you address it to your “My Customers” Circle it’s a business newsletter.

If you address it to a single person, it can be a letter to your mother.

I’d say this is pretty revolutionary.

He really sums up the beauty of Circle features in Google Plus.

Is this from Google ? I guess not, just some Google replica site from China. I have no idea what the usage yet. I try search and nothing happen.

If you notice, Google just released a new social network named “Google+”. However it is still in beta and not yet open to public yet. I can already smell a real fight between Google and Facebook begins very soon ! A vote is on between Facebook’s like and Google’s Plus is on. Head to this website to cast your vote now. http://likevsplus.com

IE9 is now comes with a slim and neat looks which can be found in Google Chrome or Firefox. I think they are identical in many ways. Such as the multi tab and search function in the address bar. Here are 2 pictures of older and latest version of Internet Explorer for a direct comparison.

Old Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer 9

Bear in mind that, the new IE9 interface can be reverted almost like the old one. Just right click on top of black space and enable them. Overall, this is a very nice and clean “feel” version of internet explorer.  We are happy to see that Microsoft has made a revolution move to stay competitive in the browser war.

Google is so nice that giving us free 1GB to use in Picasa web album. It serves well for average users but if you want to backup your originals, you will run out of space very quickly.

Picasa let you choose your upload size from:

- Small (640 pixels)

- Medium (1024 pixels)

- Recommended (1600 pixels)

- Original Size

Well, do you really want to backup your copy at a lower quality ? I doubt that, there fore you will need to buy more space to store all your images.

This is the link to purchase more space:

https://www.google.com/accounts/PurchaseStorage or Access it from Picasa Web “Settings -> Photo Settings -> Storage”.

Please remember that the new storage you purchase will be share among Gmail, Picasa and Google Documents.

The other way to do it is just disable the advance attachment features in the Gmail setting. Which is not a good option as we all like to use the latest features.

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document.People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time. (Quote from Google wave)
