Google Spaces has been announced by the well-known search engine giant, "Google." This aims to simplify sharing events, updates, news and just about anything without the need to hop from app to app. According to Google's official blog post, this will effectively streamline discussions of just about any group of people who'll use the service.
It could easily be Google's answer to Pinterest or a better implementation of Google+, which is overshadowed by Facebook. Hangouts might have been a functional messenger, but Google definitely upped their game by virtually including everything one single powerhouse of an app in the form of Google Spaces. This is not to say that this will replace Hangouts as text wouldn't be the primary communication between users. Not for YouTube, Google Photos or anything else.
The app is set to be made available for iOS, Android and possibly, plugins for desktop versions of Google Chrome. Google states that this will unify their most used services including YouTube, Google Search and Google Photos. Based on the screenshot released from the blog post, it easily hooks people up from a certain topic by fetching a group with the same interest. Invitations can be done in either via email, messaging, Facebook and any social networking sites.
Creating your own "space" also comes to mind, and this can easily be done by going to spaces.google.com. This will easily let individuals or groups share something almost instantly and draw in people within the same interest.
The blog also indicates that Google Space will also be a highlight in the upcoming Google I/O, which is happening this week. The event will be hosted by CEO Sundar Pichai. Spaces will be presented along with highly anticipated offerings from Google like the Android N, Android VR, Project Tango, and more.
For those who are very interested or just plain curious about the Google Spaces, it's available right here, though it is only available for iOS and Android for now.
