Submitted To Prof. Yogesh Udgire

Round 1 - Interface

•Google+ has been through many interface changes since its launch in June 2011, and the current one is pretty slick.• Your news stream is very customizable, with two different layouts to choose from, and easy filtering according to your circles.•It’s easy to see how many people already +1ed or shared a certain posts

•Images in your feed appear in varying sizes•Videos and animated GIFs play inline•Each update tile is dynamic, and has two sides.•A collapsible toolbar on the left side of the screenis available no matter how far down you scroll, and automatically collapses when you’re not using it so save room.

•Facebook seems almost outdated.•There are no different layouts to choose from, Facebook ads are very prominent in your new feed. In fact, they take up almost a third of your screen.•Looking at individual updates, it’s easy to see how many likes, shares and comments each post has

•Images and videos all appear in the same size.•Same goes for hashtags•Facebook’s navigation sidebar is pretty cluttered•The top bar, however, is sticky, and gives you constant access to your settings, profile, notifications, friends requests.

Round 2 - PROFILE

•First thing one notices is the cover page, they are huge and most part is not shown when you load the profile.•Google's + former cover images came in a size the most images didn’t fit •They’re now letting you upload huge images, but only show the very bottom part unless you scroll up.

•Your profile is divided into different tabs: About, Posts, Photos, Videos, +1 s, and ′Reviews. •You can control which tabs are visible to visitors through the settings•One cannot change his/her name if u do so, it will change your name across your entire Google account, so watch out.

•To edit the rest of your profile, head over to the About tab, and click any one of the edit links.•Profile includes- People , Story , Work, Education, Places, Basic Information , Contact Information, Links, and Apps.

•Facebook, as we all know, doesn’t have profiles, but Timelines•The cover images on these are also partially scrolled down, but only a little, so most of your cover image is actually visible•Timeline is divided into: Timeline, About, Photos, Friends, and More. More actually includes much more, and features things such as Likes, Places, TV Shows, Movies, Events, Groups.•Once you go past the ads on the left, your actual timeline suddenly appears, letting you browse your profile by year. Another change happens to the top tool bar. •Includes a toggle between your Timeline and About pages, and a quick way to post a new status, photo, place, or life event

•You Can Change Your Cover Image And Or Profile Image Right Here, And Go To The About Tab To Edit Additional Info•The Editing Process Is Done On The About Page Itself•Timeline Is Divided Into Two Columns Which Scroll Separately, Showing Updates On The Right And Sort Of Summaries On The Left.

•Facebook Is More Cluttered. It Feels Like Something Unique.• While Your Google+ Profile Feels Like Just Another Profile On Any Old Website. •Both Are Easy To Edit And Customize, And The Ability To Browse The Profile By Time Is A Nice Bonus For Facebook.

Round 3 - CHATTING

•Google+‘s Google Chat, Or Google Hangouts, Sits On The Right Side Of The Screen • Google+ Chat Does Not Who Is Online Right Now And Who Isn’t. •Additional Options Include Snoozing Notifications, Blocking

People, Deciding Who Can Invite You To Hangouts, And Calling Phones•It’s Also Possible To Access Per-person Settings, Enable And Disable Notifications For Them•There’s Group Video Chats In Hangouts

Round 7 – CONTROLLING PRIVACY

•G+ privacy setting is huge and not understoodYou can manage

• who can interact with your posts,• which notifications you receive and for what,• your app permissions,• which circles you share with by default,• what viewers can do with your photos,• what your profile looks like… you get the picture

•Privacy Shortcuts menu right on the top toolbar, where you can control who sees your posts by default, who can contact you, and who can’t.•The rest of the settings are organized in a way that makes specific settings fairly easy to find•It’s also much easier to scan the settings to see if anything new and surprising was added, and to make sure everything is set up to your liking

Winner: Facebook. Social networks always cause privacy concerns, and Facebook makes it easier to understand where you stand.

Summing it all up, we get a score of 4:2 in favor of Google+

In Almost Every Respect, Google+ Currently Offers The Better Experience Out Of The Two Rival Networks, Although Facebook Does Win In Profile And Privacy

The Main Reason Most Of Us Still Prefer Facebook Is Simple: It’s Where People Are. Why Are People There? Probably Because It Was First

If You Truly Want To Stay Updated And Have An Audience, You Will Understandably Stick To Facebook

Do you agree with the final result? Is there an important point we missed? When it comes down to it, which network do you prefer, and why? Let us know!
