Google Plus

What do Google Plus user outrage over Shared Endorsement ads and Reddit's Silk Road community have in common? A misunderstanding of the public Web.

Google Hangouts once lived in Google Plus, but it's broken out into its own stand alone app. It has tons of potential, but doesn't quite live up to them yet.

Google Plus got a huge update on the web earlier this week, and now the Android app is getting its own revamping. New photo and location features lead the way.

For all the beautiful, innovative updates Google+ keeps pushing, it can't get me to use it. Why?

Google+ has new updates to talk about including a local 'Reviews' tab, cover photos that fill up a screen, and an About section that's easier on the eyes.

Vic Gundotra, a top-ranking engineer at Google, teased in a recent Google+ post that new Nexus devices will feature some big improvements to camera quality.

Following his February 12 State of the Union address, President Obama will be doing a modern-day Fireside Chat using Google+'s Hangouts.

Thanks to two new features that make Google Hangouts a lot more user-friendly to those in areas with low connectivity, users can control bandwidth settings and chat without video.

As reports break that growing Google+ numbers are thanks to Google force-feeding users their accounts, it's time to realize that the social Web is the only Web.

Google is forcing users to sign up for Google+ when they sign up for their other services. And the strategy is working regardless of right and wrong.
