Google Space

Now when you search in Google+, you'll see a message about new posts the instant they're available. If you click on this message, or select "Most recent", then relevant posts will start appearing in real-time. Google also add the Hashtag feature to Google+, and can learn more about it from this video:

More bad news for Google+: First, we discovered that Google’s top management apparently aren’t big users of the company’s social network, then traffic fell and now it appears that at least one of the rank-and-file is pretty critical of the platform as well. Steve Yegge, a Google engineer, intended his 5,000-word post to be an internal diatribe for other Google employees, but accidentally published it for his 2,000 or so followers. The rant, posted in its entirety  here , at first focuses on Yegge’s former employer, Amazon, which he calls to task for its inconsistent hiring practices and CEO Jeff Bezos, who is presented as an obsessive micromanager.

Google has declared that their networking-platform Google+ is strictly for people only. They have discouraged groups, corporations and brands from forming their profiles on the platform. And even went to as far as making an impression to anyone that non-user profiles will be deleted from the system. Non-profit members can still take advantage of this. All though being in an organization as they are, a good thing to note about non-profits is they are made up of individuals. They are people of the people who are there for other people.

Google+ app on iOS has been updated to include new features, like Hangouts, and the word Huddle has been changed to Messenger for chatting and  messages. The +1 has been added to the comments ( this feature wasn't there ), better notifications and now people can see maps for places where you lived or visited. Here's some screenshots :

Privacy can be an issue when it comes to social networking. Of course, most of the time, privacy breaches can be blamed on the user, not the system. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to hide yourself from future embarrassment by avoiding that your profile shows up on search results related to your name(or completely unrelated queries!). It takes less than a minute to change the preference whether you would like to be found using search results, and here’s how:

Personally I expected Google to do that. Google has just made their ads more social  , a move   to insure themselves   because of the increasing   rumors   recently   about   the intention of   the launch of   Facebook   ad network   to compete with   Google's   network . Starting from   next October,   Google   will begin   to add the   +1   button   next to the   ads that appear   within the   interactive   sites that use   AdSense and   the user   will be able to   admire   this ad by   clicking   on the   +1   button   which   will be located under the ad. This new feature will also gain more users for Google+, because you'll need to be Signed up for a Google account to be able to use it. The question is, don't you think this's weird?, why did Google announce this feature near Facebook's F8 date?

There's no official way to import Facebook contacts into Google+, but you can add your Facebook contacts to Yahoo through Facebook Connect, and then connect Yahoo to Google+. A long way around, but it works. Log in to your Yahoo account and use Facebook Connect to attach your Facebook account. Then go to Contacts to import your Facebook friends. Here's a guide to  connecting Facebook to your Yahoo Mail account . After Yahoo has finished importing your Facebook contacts, head to the Google+  Find and Invite page and connect your Yahoo account. Google+ will import your Yahoo contacts, which should now include your Facebook friends. Alternatively, you can use the webapp  Friends to Gmail  to get your Facebook Contacts into Gmail and then to Google+. Either way, from there you can add them to your circles and share with them.
