Well, it is Indonesian startup with provides several services such as transportation, logistics, mobile payments, food delivery, and many services that support our lifestyle. In some cities, GO-JEK is not supported by several people because it is considered to give a disadvantage to conventional transportation companies benefit.

GO-JEK has a social mission to the society. They want increase GO-JEK drivers’ incomes and ensure a better standard of living for driver themselves, their families, and also offers great benefits to its customers and partners. Now, people are not ashamed to be a driver, they are even proud to be a part of the GO-JEK community.

One of my most favorite service from GO-JEK is GO-FOOD, it is food delivery service with thousands of sellers. It is easier for us to order food from our favorite cafes, restaurants, or food stalls. You just need to click on GO-FOOD button then select a restaurant, type of food or search by food’s name. Select the name and quantity of dishes, enter the delivery address and select the payment method, you can use GO-PAY or with cash, then click on the order button. The food delivery will pick up our food from the seller and bring it to us. Then, we should pay the food itself and the delivery fee based on distance. GO-FOOD is really helpful when we don’t have times or the weather isn’t good enough to buy food from the seller. It is would be more efficient rather than we buy itself.

Google Plus

Google Plus is a free social networking that allows registered users to create profiles, share a post, and upload photos or video. Google Plus members can follow other user’s posts by using multiple platforms and devices. To post or replies can be sent by cell phone text message, application or by posting at the plus.google.com website.

Google Plus was created in June 2011 by Vic Gundotra and Bradley Horowitz, and launched on 28 June of that year. The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity. Now, Google Plus has 111 million active users.

Posts by cell phone text message are limited to 140 characters, due to the constraints of Google Plus's Short Message Service delivery system. Because posts can be delivered in real time, they might seem like instant messages. But unlike instant messages, posts are posted on the Google Plus website. They are searchable and they are public. 

Google Plus is social media, absolutely. But it's more than just instant messaging. Google Plus is about discovering people around the world. 

So, Google Plus is a blend of instant messaging, blogging, and texting, but with brief content and a very broad audience. If you like to write a little about yourself, then Google Plus is the right choice. If you don't like to write but are curious about news or even a long-lost friends, then Google Plus is one way to connect with that person.
