Google has just unveiled Google+, its ambitious answer to Facebook. It turns all of Google into one giant social network, thanks to a core group of social products and a new navigation bar that integrates sharing into every single Google product.

Ben spent much of Monday testing Google+�s features. He concludes:

Google+ is a bold and dramatic attempt at social. There�s a reason why Google calls this a �oeproject” rather than a �oeproduct” �" they don�t want people to think of this as the final product, but as a constantly-evolving entity that permeates every corner of the Google empire.

Overall, Google+ is solid. But I�m not going to call it a Facebook killer or a game-changer. The last Google product I said that about was the ill-fated Google Buzz. Perhaps that�s why Google�s rolling this out slowly via invites, the same style Gmail used to release itself to the world.

If Google can persuade users to come back every day, it has a winner. But the company will have to do even more to provide a truly compelling alternative to Facebook. At the moment, Google+ cannot compete with the king of social, but Google doesn�t seem to be in a hurry to take on Mark Zuckerberg�s giant quite yet.

Google is reportedly partnering with FarmVille and Mafia Wars game-maker Zynga to launch a hub where you�ll be able to play social online games.

The source of the rumor is the tech blog TechCrunch, which claims to have confirmed the story with multiple sources. The search giant has allegedly invested between 100 and 200 million dollars in the massive game company, which already sits with Google in the small club of web companies that are valued at much more than $1 billion.
