      Waiting for our invite to be processed, eWEEK takes the interactive video tour, which highlights the components that make up Google+.

      2Social Circles

      Circles make it easy to put people in a group and begin sharing info. Users can enter friends names and email addresses to add them to a Circle.

      Dragging and dropping profiles in Circles is an easy way to add people to a group.

      4Giving Off Sparks

      Sparks is a sort of news feed/topic generation tool.

      5Sparks in Action

      5

      Behold! A list of interests in a user’s profile.

      6Streaming

      The social status update stream in Google+ allows users to add photos, videos, links and their location.

      7Hangouts

      Users can join Hangouts to conduct video chats with friends in a Circle.

      11Mobile App

      Google+ came to the Android Market for Android smartphones and tablets today. It’s expected to hit Apple’s App Store later.

      However, after we downloaded it, we received a message saying we weren’t able to access the app yet. Here’s what the app looks like in this photo, and in this video.

      13Tapping Picasa

      13

      So, we received our invitation as we were compiling this preview. We logged in and were greeted with this offer. Where does Google+ get all of those photos? By linking users’ Picasa accounts, of course!

      14Welcome

      14

      Here is what an official Google+ landing screen looks like. Stay tuned for more Google+ from eWEEK this week!
