ah sad. looks like they blocked the loophole.

it is pretty much a rip-off of facebook plus some additional features.
here is what i can see...
huddle is an alternative to blackberry messenger and Apple imessage. currently available only on android phones. but apps for iOS and Blackberry could make it a multi-platform messenger.
hangout is a multi-user video chat platform. i do not have a webcam so i cannot play with it yet.
google plus also offers instant uploading of images from android phones. so you can use it as a replacement for apps like picplz and instagram (when it launches for iOS). also works as backup. though it would probably resize your original images.

Ok. was exploring the Google+ app on Android. You can configure it to upload all photos and videos stored on the phone to a private album on Picasa Web. This is excellent stuff. Auto Sync.
You can set it to upload only when the phone is on Wi-Fi and charging. To save on money and battery life.
I was looking for this feature because iOS 5 has it.

Google Plus users... Changes on Google Picasa Web Albums:
Albums you've shared can in turn be tagged and shared by others.
For new albums, anyone an album is shared with can see who else it is shared with.
When you tag someone, they receive a notification and can see the photo and the related album.

i like that they are offering more free storage to google plus users.
