If there is one thing that can be said about Samsung mobile phones, it is that they are rather sexy. These days, you would probably not chance upon a Samsung mobile phone that looks clunky. And while they may not have the appeal that the Apple iPhone has for many, Samsung phones can hold their own against most any other phone in the market.

Google+So Google Plus (Google+) is quickly amassing its own number of followers, although it’s probably still a far cry from the number of Facebook users.
