It seems that Google has decided to try again with social networks after such a forced and unsuccessful step withGoogle+ Just a few hours ago, Google made its new official Google Spaces, a social network designed to create small communities in which to share content What was born as a social network has all the ballots for, despite addressing all audiences, end up as a professional network with which to communicate and share files, something like what does Slack or what you tried to do Facebook RoomsThe idea is that users can create spaces where they invite friends with common interests and thus communicate and share files easily. For example, if you are passionate about technology, you can create a space called “Technology” and add friends who share this interest, exchange articles, news or impressions. In addition, integrates both Chrome and YouTube so that regardless of the browser you useyou will end up working with them by default The rest of Google services such as Photos or Drive are also integrated, so sharing these files is an immediate action that does not need applications external.
Once the space is created, from the application we can invite our friends using a link that we can copy and send by email, via any social network or instant messaging serviceIn addition to creating our own groups, we can also join already created groups that we can find using the search enginethat has the application itself. These groups, as in other social networks such as Facebook, can be public or private. When we create the space we can configure the privacy. If we want to join a private group we have to request that its administrator authorize us the access.
With integration with Google Search, Chrome, Photos, and YouTube, you can search, share, and watch whatever you want without You don't even have to switch apps. It is obvious that Google Spaces was not born to compete with other social networks, but its usefulness is evident in order to create small groups to, for example, organize events, trips or work. Of course it's not just about sharing things using the tools of Google, there is also an option available -marked with quotes, in which we can write whatever we want , something like the “statuses” of Facebook.Google Spaces is available starting today for Android, iOS, all Gmail users, and also on desktop and mobile web. In the coming weeks we will see if Google Spaces is better received than the obsolete Google+ and if it includes improvements as it did until recently with Hangouts.
