Once selected as the most innovative federal agency by the Partnership for Public Service, NASA is on the forefront yet again as it is apparently the first agency to join Google Plus.
The space agency’s Google Plus page went live Monday, the same day Google began to open its social networking service to government agencies for the first time, according to a report from FCW.com.
“We are just getting started on Google+,” the agency said in its first posting according to the report.
The space agency’s page now has items on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, a mission in the Antarctic region and a photograph of nebula.
Google debuted its social networking service in July, allowing users to create “circles,” groups of organized contacts they can share content with. Until recently, Google Plus only accepted individual user profiles.
Monday, Google opened the network to agencies, corporations, and non-governmental agencies. Google officials say the social network has nearly 40 million users, according to the FCW report.
