Google seems to be going all-out with a new departure in the social world. They have an impressive array of tools within the Google+ project, including what looks to be a nice way to organize friends, family, and coworkers into appropriate "Circles", a group chat-type application called "Huddle", and a multi-person video-chat program called "Hangouts", and there's a mobile component too. Participation is by invitation only at the moment while they iron out the kinks, although you can download the Android app to be ready and primed for action. Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine.com and This Week in Google (TWiG) has been playing with Google+ and sharing some fairly positive thoughts on Twitter (@jeffjarvis) along with TWiG co-host Gina Trapani (@ginatrapani). It's early days, but tomorrow's edition of TWiG (#101) should be interesting. Details (and videos) about Google+ can be found at the link below:
