Google+ (Google Plus) take on Facebook?! [Follow the Official JPHiP Page!]

[daigong]

Are you guys still using G+? I tried it out - seems pretty slick, but only a couple of my friends post on it =X

It's now for all without invites and apparently everyone abandoned it




I don't social media much cuz I'm on jphip so much but damn, Google better get they shit together

[Erusa]

Think FB's popularity still wins out. Even without sending invites to get access, not much people are willing to switch over. I got an account when the invites started and for the first couple days, people tried posting. Now only 1 person still is doing it.

Google+ has new features!

Hashtags! "What's popular now?"! Ripples! Photo editing!

What’s Hot on Google+: see what everyone’s talking about
Google+ users share and receive billions of items every day—on a wide range of topics, in nearly every country. Circles give you a personal lens on all this activity, helping you focus on updates from your family or your favorite celebrities. But sometimes you want to know what the world is so excited about. Whether it’s breaking news or beautiful photos, you just don’t want to miss anything. With this in mind, we’re launching “What’s Hot” on Google+, a new place to visit for interesting and unexpected content.

Google+ Ripples: watch how posts get shared
There’s something deeply satisfying about sharing on Google+, then watching the activity unfold. Comments pour in, notifications light up, friends share with friends (who share with their friends), and in no time at all there’s an entire community around your post. We want to help people re-live those conversations—both to rekindle that initial excitement, and to learn how posts flow across the network. That’s why we’re launching Google+ Ripples: a visualization tool for public shares and comments.

To get started, just find a public post that interests you, and select “View Ripples.” From there you can replay its activity, zoom in on certain events, identify top contributors and much more. Google+ Ripples is still experimental, so let us know how we can make it more informative and more awesome

Google+ Creative Kit: have more fun with your photos
Nothing tells a story like the perfect picture, so it’s only natural to want to make yours really, really, really, ridiculously good-looking. Unfortunately, photo editing is too often a chore, requiring specialized software and lots of patience. We want to help everyone put their best photo forward, so today we’re introducing the Google+ Creative Kit, a fast and friendly way to make powerful edits to your photos.

Now you can add that vintage feel to your vacation photos. Or sharpen those snapshots from the family barbeque. Or add some text for added personality. With the Creative Kit, all you need is an idea

They're even doing a HALLOWEEN EVENT to celebrate the introduction of photo editing on G+. I was surprised at how well it worked and how much fun it was to play around with. You can participate in the event by editing a photo making use of the special Halloween effects in the Creative Kit, sharing your creation in a public post with the hashtag #gplushalloween .

Read the whole story and watch nifty tutorials over at the Google blog.

Don't know if other ppl are experiencing this.

Lately I've got What's Hot posts all between my normal posts. So I went and tried finding an Adblock Plus filter like I always do.

Instead, I found you can just press the What's Hot option on the left-bar.
Then in the What's Hot section, move the slider to the furthest-left to show 0 posts in the future. Problem solved.
