Google+ is already being enhanced

UPDATE:
Google+ has been closed down as of April 2019.

So what’s new… There are 2 new features being released in the next week or so. Sharing a Google+ link in your Circles and +Snippets.

When you click on a Google+ icon to like a site you will now have the option to share this with your friends on Google. You can define exactly who you share your recommendation with by choosing a Circle or Circles at the point you recommend the site. The recommendation also gets posted directly to your stream on Google+.

+Snippets is the ability for publishers to share a bit more information in a +1 share including a title/web link, an image, and a short description. As a publisher we can define what this snippet looks like by adding code to your page.

As I have previous said I think Google+ is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the not too distant future, and the fact Google are adding features just a few weeks after the initial launch shows they are very serious about making this work.

If you are not on Google+ yet and need an invite to join please drop me an email at alan.tomkins@alpha-tango.co.uk and I’ll get one over to you.
