Google+ is a new social network launched to grab market share from Facebook - by invitation only.  See the invitation workaround PH Creative did.

Google+ looks a lot like Facebook (with a little Twitter thrown in? Friends and Followers?) but watch the demo for some new functionality that makes this Google social network look more elegant than its competitor, and in fact more elegant than what we'd expect from Google.  It actually looks more like something from Apple than Google in the demo.  I like the look of "Circles," which lets you categorize friends into groups with a beautiful drag and drop.

Have a look at Google+ stats (Mark Zuckerberg has more followers than anyone else as of today).

Apparently Ford has put the first brand page up on the site.

So far, Google+ seems to have taken off in a big way (unlike Google Buzz launched early last year) so watch this space.
