The internet has been abuzz this month with news of the groundbreaking “Google Glass,” a new technological device that “overlays digital information in the physical world.” (To learn all about what the Google Glass technology can do, visit the official site here.) The device isn’t even available for purchase yet, nor has a date been set for their mass street day, but that hasn’t stopped Google from making sure everything is in place for when that launch does take place. On Thursday, for example, the internet giant revealed plans for their device’s social media future, including apps for Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

According to ABC News, the primary focus of these social media apps is the sharing of photos, which Google Glass will make easier than ever before. Not only can Google Glass users take pictures or record video without ever pressing a button, they will now also have the capability of instantaneously uploading those photos to their various social media feeds, all while keeping up with messages and notifications. In other words, Google Glass will allow users to keep one eye on the real world, and one on the cyber one.

But if there’s a social media centerpiece for the Google Glass technology, it only makes sense that it’s the network that belongs entirely to Google. The corporation launched their own social media platform (called Google Plus) only two years ago, and while the website certainly has its triumphs–the “Hangout” function does video chats and conference calls better than Skype, and will be a perfect fit for the Google Glass device–it’s never been the most user-friendly social media platform out there.

Shortly following the launch of Google Plus, one of the company’s engineers publicly derided it as a “complete failure,” citing its half-baked ideas, its Facebook copycat mentality, and its lack of accessibility as flaws that could likely never be overcome. It is entirely possible that Google Glass will resurrect the site and take advantage of the unique things it has to offer, rather than continuing to play it as a Facebook clone, but will users by willing to make that jump? If they are, good for Google. But if not, at least the company already has its Facebook and Twitter apps in place to clean up the wreckage.

Google Glass is currently only available in $1,500 “Explorer Editions,” essentially beta versions of the device and its software that will solicit opinions and suggestions from developers and other tech experts.
