Stream – the main message wall of Google Plus where text, images, videos etc. are added
Circles – enabling users to organize contacts into groups for sharing different content
Hangouts – group video chat for up to 10 users at a time
Messenger – instant messaging for Android, iPhone and SMS devices
Sparks – enabling users to create topics (or sparks!) of interest to share with other users
