Come one, come all. Google+ is officially open to the public.

For those who are annoyed with the new Facebook makeover, this social media site might be right up your alley.

Google+ nixed their invite-only policy last Tuesday just two days before Facebook’s annual developer conference, F8.

This can’t be a coincidence seeing as Google+ has rolled out 100 new features since its official launch of the site in June.

The new social media site was designed to rival Facebook. Google+ distinguishes itself by enabling users to organize those who can see their profile in groups called “circles.”

So instead of just adding friends like you do on Facebook, as soon as you add someone on Google+, you place them in one of your “circles,” which includes family, friends, acquaintances, following or you can customize your own circle.

In opening to the public, Google+ debuted a few noteworthy features.

Sparks is Google+’ search bar that allows users to customize their interests. The site will then aggregate relevant articles and videos for the selected interests.

Another key feature is the incorporation of Gmail and Google Docs.

Now, users can access their email while having the ability to communicate, share and create files with one another all from the Google+ site.

The Hangout feature allows users to chat with one another and communicate with live video conferencing.

This feature is crucial because it allows up to nine users to attend the videoconference, whereas in the past, the maximum users that could join a conference was about three.

In order to generate awareness about this feature, Google+ kicked off the new addition with a live broadcast with will.i.am.

The last feature users should be aware of is the Huddle feature.

This is where users can add an unlimited amount of people to a single chat.

The feature could be helpful in discussing a particular subject or an easy way to communicate to a large group about a project or an event.

With the recent unveiling of the new Facebook features, it will be interesting to see show Google+ fares in the ongoing cyber-battle to be number one in the social media space.
