Google Plus : Do You Need Another Social Network? Scott Cameron, August 6th 2011 Blog Of The Nation.

In this article, Scott Cameron talks about the new social network by Google, Google Plus. Nowadays, there are so many social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and FourSquare, so, Google Plus needs to compete with all of the social network to gain users. At a glance, Google Plus looks great and smart enough since its primary site is in order and easy to be controlled. Cameron also talks, although there are many users signed up for Google Plus, it doesn't mean that they are going to leave their previous social network like Facebook or Twitter.

Cameron in his article emphasizes the complaint from users about the weakness of Google Plus. There are some people make comparison between Google Plus and Facebook since their functions are alike. One of the complaint is, Google Plus shares every post equally not like Facebook that makes the post sort based on its importance or time. Some people also said that Google Plus is uneasy to setup. Even though there are some people criticize Google Plus, there are still many people admire it. Google Plus are one of the social network with the best privacy control, easy to make and delete drag-and-drop circles, easy to chats or video chats and more attractive makes it becomes more lovable among users.

This article is an informative article to read, and it gives me many information about Google Plus because Cameron explains very clearly about it. To me, this article is very good to be reviewed by students especially teenagers that love to use social network. However, the weakness of this article is some of its sentence structure and words are hard to be understood.
