If you're a frequent Facebook user (and even if you're not),
you may be wondering if we really need another massive, general-
purpose social network. Google certainly thinks so. Despite some
early missteps in the social arena, the search giant has just
rolled out a "field trial" of the Google+ social network. Currently
available to a limited audience, Google+ integrates neatly with
other Google products and offers intriguing approaches to both
privacy and sharing content. PCWorld editors Mark Sullivan and
Megan Geuss, who were both invited to play in the new sandbox, spent
some quality time with Google+ and shared their observations (and
plenty of screen shots) in "Google+ Social Network: Hands-On First
Impressions." Get a sneak peek at Google's latest entry into the
social sphere and decide for yourself whether to give it a spin
when it officially opens its doors.
--Editorial Director Steve Fox
