Intra-circle chat on Google+

Google+, the social network meant to compete with Facebook, has been booming lately. Since its launch, Google's network has seen a huge number of registrations (over 20 million in 21 days, if I remember correctly).

Obviously, a new social network isn't perfect (as evidenced by Facebook, which is constantly evolving), especially at the beginning. It therefore needs regular updates, and Google does this very well. In fact, in recent weeks, a large number of new features have appeared on Google+.

Today, the new feature (and not a small one) is in the chat, which I think was missing from the service. Not to mention Google Talk, which was recently integrated, but which is not particularly suitable all the time (without being sure since I am not registered due to an age limitation). This tool will therefore allow you to chat with anyone in one of your circles. It remains to be seen whether a chat with the entire circle (in other words, a chat with several people) is now possible.

It's worth noting, however, that this real-time chat service requires you to follow the person, and for them to follow you back. Ultimately, this seems pretty normal if you want to maintain a minimum of privacy.

Ultimately, we obviously like this network to move and evolve very quickly to face the competition but also to satisfy as many users as possible.
