Google has unveiled its latest social network, known as Buzz, in a move that pitches the company against rival sites such as Facebook.
The service allows users to post status updates, share content and read and comment on friends' posts.
It is integrated directly with Google's free e-mail service Gmail, aiming to benefit from the number of regular Gmail users, which is currently around 170 million people.
Todd Jackson, the Google Buzz product manager, described the service as "an entirely new world in Gmail" during a press event at Google headquarters in Mountain View.
In other news, the recent attacks against Google and more than 20 other organisations marked a turning point in cybersecurity because of their targeted and co-ordinated nature, a market expert has warned.
Dave DeWalt, chief executive at security group McAfee, said the cyber attacks represented the most sophisticated threat in years and could easily have been targeted at critical infrastructure.
