Google+ updates before the holidays

This month, Google+ has made several updates. Here are the main updates that have occurred over the past month.

Find My Face & Photos

Find My Face scans photos for your face and automatically tags the ones that have you in them. Currently, Social networking requires you or your friends to tag you. Sometimes you may not even know for months that a photo of you is online.

In a fashion fitting to Google+, photos are now tagged with circles instead of absurdly huge boxes.

The photo viewer also lets you hide comments, giving the photo the whole screen.

Greater control over streams

Some circles are more important than others. Now you can control how much of each circle makes it into your main stream.

Hangout on posts

Have a big announcement? Now when you make a post in Google+, you can have a hangout on that topic. Instead of having a chain of comments (and a barrage of notifications) you can get it all out in a hangout session.

Pages

Google added some functionality to brand pages on Google+. Now, multiple users can administer a branded page.

Also, Google tracks interaction with pages. Whether a user adds a page to their circle or +1?s it, Google counts it.

What?s Google+ missing?

People. Google+ passed 40 million users in two months, but 40 million is nothing compared to Facebook?s 800+ million users. Google is making great progress, however, especially for being only a few months old.

Need more people in your circles?

Feel free to circle us.
