Google+ was built around sharing content and that's its main purpose, so many Google products started to provide a unified sharing experience powered by Google+. Gmail allows you to share image attachments with other Google+ users by clicking the "Share" link, but what about the embedded images from a message? Now you can share them by mousing over the images and clicking the "share" button. How to insert images into a Gmail message? Just drag and drop the images from your favorite file manager. It should work in the latest versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox, assuming that you haven't disabled the rich text mode.

Google+ released its updated and brand new look few days ago. The change was welcomed by the google+ community and was well received.

While browsing online blogs i found a plugin that works on FireFox and Google Chrome , it allows you to remove the white space between trending column and the chat column on the right. If you tried it add a comment to tell and tell me what do you think of it. source
