Google will be rolling out major enhancements for its social
networking platform Google+, such as integration of search and Google
Docs, over the next three months in a bid to bridge the gap with rival
Facebook.
According to a Financial Times report on Wednesday, the Internet giant will be looking to compete better with market leader Facebook with major improvements to its Google+ platform. The first round of enhancements will include incorporating Google Docs, the word processing application which will make collaborating on documents easier "within days", and its search function with the networking platform, noted Vic Gundotra, senior vice president of engineering, in the report.
Subsequently, all of Google's Web offerings "are going to be fundamentally changed by the Google+ graph", he added.
Users of multiple Google services, for instance, will be able to rely on a single system for sharing across the different platforms and not have to wonder whether to share content using Google+ or YouTube, Gundotra explained.
