Clash Of The Titans!

The war is officially on: It's Google+ vs. Facebook, in the battle to become the biggest or best global social network.

After rolling out a three-month test phase with limited openings, Google+ is now open to the general public for sign-up and use. Google's new social network site has also integrated its search engine into the design (which is pretty cool), and expanded its "Handouts" video chat feature for mobile use and broadcasting.

Google+ users can now host an online broadcast: recording it or broadcasting it live.

"Hangouts should keep pace with how you socialize in the real world, so today we're launching it on the one device that's always by your side: your mobile phone," Senior Vice President/Engineering Vic Gundotra wrote in a blog post.

Facebook Fighting Back
But while Google+ is now open to the general public and effectively waging war on Facebook to gain social network users, Facebook is also busy updating its site, with the aim of making it more user-friendly.  For instance, Facebook's new news feed will now keep social network users apprised of what "what matters most," the company said.

But I guess the eventual winner of this war will depend on we the users of the two sites. So bring it on ye Facebookers and Google plusers!
