The new iPhone 4S is one of the very best phones for social networking thanks to some excellent connectivity options and the new integration of Twitter into the operating system. To date Facebook and Twitter have dominated the social networking market but there is a newcomer in the form of Google+. With the power of Google behind it this platform may well become popular over the coming months so we take a quick look at the iPhone 4S application and see what it has to offer.
Google+ is an attractive looking platform that benefits from offering a much more simple layout than the likes of Twitter and Facebook. When you load the application for the first time you are presented with a well designed homescreen that offers you five different options. The first of these options is the Stream feature which gives you a timeline of updates from all of the people that you follow. These updates can be filtered so that you can also display updates posted from a location near to you. The second option on the homescreen is the Messenger facility which gives you access to the instant chat facilities. This feature allows you to message friends for free and you also can send picture messages by clicking on the camera tab at the bottom of the screen. When you perform this action you can either choose a photo that you have previously taken or launch the camera feature to take a new photograph.
