Improving Google+ Plugins Across the Web
Over a million websites use Google+ plugins — like the +1 button and the badge for Pages — to help visitors connect with their brand and share their content with others. Today we’re excited to announce a number of improvements to these plugins that make sharing and connecting even easier.
Easier to share from the +1 button
Starting today, it’ll be a little easier to share right from the +1 buttons all across the web. Now, after you +1 something, the share box will pop open right away, without an extra click. Add a comment if you want, choose the people you want to share with, and you’re done.
Easier to follow brands and businesses
When you add Google+ pages to your circles, it’s typically to follow their news and updates. That’s why we’re updating badges for Google+ pages to read “Follow.” With just one click, this button adds a business or brand to your “Following” circle, and if you want to customize which circle they’re in, you can do that too.
If you’re one of the many businesses and brands with a Google+ page, we’ve also put together a handy style guide (pdf) which includes recommended language and images for promoting your page.
Adding a badge for people, not just pages
We heard you! Now anyone (including Britney Spears!) can add a personal Google+ badge to their web pages, and let visitors add them to circles quickly and easily.
We’ve got lots more planned for the Google+ plugins, stay tuned!

CrowdLeadership
XeeMe was essentially built on crowd sourcing. This product would not exist like it is today without the hundreds of feature requests we realized in the product. XeeMe also grew to a very large extend based on the support of its users. We plan funding …

Pinterest killing Flickr

Trust is a complicated thing
In theory it is easy because we know exactly what trust is – yet some people have a very wide range in interpretation and application. As a young boy I learned from my father: If somebody is bragging about being trustful or not doing any …

Google+ Developers Page
Today we’re launching the Google+ Developers page to help you stay connected to all the latest Google+ platform news, events, community, and more. As the lead of the Google+Developer Relations team, I’m really looking forward to meeting you there – add the page to your circles to join the conversation, comment on posts, and join our hangouts.
Our team will host regular hangouts to talk about the +Platform, your experiences with it, and share tips and tricks with the community. Our weekly office hours hangouts take place every Wednesday at 11:30am – 12:15pm PDT, and can be accessed from our Google+ Developers page. The +Platform team will also share Google+ developer events, conferences and hackathons, as well as photos and videos of the events. In addition, we’ll announce and discuss our +Platform launches on our page.
