Get a Handle on Hangout Requests

Google has released a new stand-alone app and unified communication platform for Hangouts. Now, Google+ users can initiate both text and video chats with other Google+ members at any time by launching a new hangout. For many, this has resulting in a bombardment of notifications from people wanting to chat, and attempting to launch chats with entire circles.

Google+ and Google Search Highlights from Google IO13

Google held their 6th annual developers conference this week called Google I/O 13, and during the keynote address, some amazing new features and developments were announced. A lot of time was spent discussing Android, Chrome and Google Maps, but I wanted to focus on the developements that matter most to businesses and social media users, including these improvements to Google+ and Google Search.

Promoting Content with Google+

Promoting Content with Google+

Many bloggers stop the promotion of their content on social media sites at Facebook and Twitter. While Facebook and Twitter are great ways to spread the word about new and existing content, it is by no means the only relevant social media platform available to bloggers. Google+, however, has broadcasting components that can make the promotion of content easier and can create more interactive reader experience.

Google+ offers improvements across the board.

Google+ offers improvements across the board to save time and efficiency.

Google+ has implemented quite a few significant improvements and changes this week that we wanted to let you know about.

Gmail

First, Google released an updated Gmail feature for composing email, designed to save clients time. Before, when starting a new email, the compose box would take over your entire screen. If you had to reference something in another email, you’d have to save your draft, exit out, and fish through your other emails. Not any more. The new view pops up over your Gmail inbox, similar to a chat box.
