Using Google+? Add Mashable to your circles. You'll get the latest about new Google+ features and tips and tricks for using the platform as well as top social media and technology news.
Sharing, but like real life. This is the message Google is sending with the first video TV commercial for its social network, Google+, which aired during a Lions vs. Packers football game in the U.S. Thursday.
The ad focuses on all the ways in which Google+ is different from Facebook: organizing your friends, family, acquaintances and colleagues into different Circles, and meeting them in Hangouts.
Video spots demonstrating Google's products aren't new, and we're seeing more and more of them as the Mountain View giant grows. A Google Chrome TV commercial launched this summer featured pop megastar Justin Bieber, and a recent ad for Samsung Google Nexus showcased the features in the new version of Google's mobile OS, Android 4.0.
Google also recently posted a shorter, music-accompanied video clip dubbed "Google+: Circles Love Story," which tells a short story through a quick demonstration of Circles. Check it out below.
