Everybody post about #driveforlinux. We got it trending last night but it fell off this morning...

 

[Korey]

Hate that on a widescreen monitor there is soooo much white space between the stream column and Google Talk. No fucking way of centering in the stream. It's all justified to the left. >_>

Couldn't that vast, empty space be construed as a metaphor for Google+ as a whole?

I love you!

 

[Good Job Bob]

How do I collapse the comment box? Doesn't seem to be a setting for it, any good extensions?

 

[kehs]

So the whitespace isn't that bad, if you use google chat alot.

I'm chatting with a certain someone about his pokemon adventures, and it's nice to still be able to browser the what's new stream and see sitting frogs simultaneously.

So when did "download full size" become functional? Instead of the download dialog, I now get a proper new tab with the image, no bullshittery needed. Awesome.

 

[SimleuqiR]

I'm sooo jelly!

iPhones get it first!!

The end result—we hope—is an app that brings you closer to the people you care about, and the stuff you’re into; an app with sense and soul. But please, give it a go and let us know what you think. The iPhone update is rolling out now to the App Store (version 2.0.0.5888), and the Android update is coming in a few weeks (with a few extra surprises).

Beautiful app!!

I think this might be the best looking Google app ever?

 

[snacknuts]

That looks great. Not available for me in the app store yet, though. =[ And hopefully I'll be rid of this stupid iPhone before "a few weeks" is up, and I'll have to wait for it all over again.

 

[eznark]

Totally revamped iPhone app, still no iPad app. Well done, google

 

[TeegsD]

My friends need to use Google+ more. That app is mighty fine

 

[ThatObviousUser]

WTF. Screw you Google.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Google makes better apps for iPhone than Android.

 

[iavi]

That's some bullshit.

 

[kehs]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was put together by the people that did Currents.

I guess it looks nice but it's a bit confusing with all the overlapping stuff.

Yeah.

 

[Treefingers]

Looks like a mess to me.

I must be the only that likes the Currents app.

*shrug*

I like it. Just don't like how it handles subscriptions.

I don't see the app running anywhere close to that on androids.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Don't worry, it'll be hitting Android in a few weeks with some extra surprises.

 

[SimleuqiR]

I don't see the app running anywhere close to that on androids.

Maybe Google should gimp it to make Andrex feel better ^_^.

 

[Treefingers]

So each post has a person's profile picture and behind that a blown up pixellated (ugly) slice of the same profile picture.. great.

Otherwise I do like the look a lot more than the previous one.

 

[planar1280]

ughhhhh still a web login on an iOS app. When will Google finally get aesthetics

 

[badcrumble]

Google makes better apps for iPhone than Android.

Eh, not true. The Google Search (and now Google+) apps are very nice, but the Google Voice app (for example) and the GMail app are pretty crummy on iOS IMO. ICS, on the other hand, is nicely polished and attractive (finally).

 

[crumbs]

I'm hoping one of the Android "surprises" is the ability to start a Hangout from the app.

I'd love to see the G+ streams if they also release an iPad version before pushing out the android revamp.

 

[kinggroin]

You already can?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Lol, they really aped Path for this redesign. It's quite blatant in areas.

 

[SimleuqiR]

I'm hoping one of the Android "surprises" is the ability to start a Hangout from the app.

That would be nice.
I'm hoping for, and this a long shot, that they finally integrate Gtalk and Messenger. On top of that I wouldn't mind Google Voice text messages incorporate into messenger too?

I'm asking for way too much, I know.

Good one.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Messenger would have to go to the desktop site before any merger. You have to keep in mind Gtalk is used everywhere but Messenger is Google+-app specific.

I have to wonder if this is intentional at this point. It's getting ridiculous.

It's like they took the crappy parts of Zite and Flipboard, removed the good stuff, and slapped the Google name on it.

 

[crumbs]

Last I checked, you can join a hangout, but you cannot start one from your phone/tablet.

You know, I tried flipboard the other day, I don't get it.

It's like...I don't know, for some reason I don't like many of those aggregate programs. Pulse is the only one I can stand to use, and even then I don't like it too much.

I basically just use Currents to view Verge articles cause I hate their website, absolutely loathe it.

?

I started one from the messenger app and invited people in. It shows in the stream and they can join in from either the phone or the desktop.

or am I missing something else here...

Hangouts are video chats, not regular chats.

I feel the same way about flipboard. I love Zite though, it actually does a great job at aggregating news and uses a Pandora like system for thumbs up/down. Perfect first thing in the morning read. I wish I could like currents, but the way they handle Google Reader is atrocious.

But you can start a video chat in messenger...

Even though this is Google Search related, I'm pretty sure this is going to be the final use of the white space of G+:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/google-launches-knowledge-graph-today-wants-to-understand-real/

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I doubt it, only seems useful for search. But I've been wrong before.

 

[kehs]

I doubt it, only seems useful for search. But I've been wrong before.

Automatically load context related stuff on the side depending on the post you're reading in the stream. It'd be pretty cool

They're already using that white space for similar function in the profile pages.

-Also where' my G+ update Google?

 

[SimleuqiR]

-Also where' my G+ update Google?

It hasn't been "weeks" yet. When they say that I expect the update at the earliest 4 weeks (a month).

Oh, they said weeks?

I'm guessing it'll debut with the Pantech Nexus then. =/

I've gotta say, the G+ iOS app shits all over the FB app now that they abandoned the browser in an app concept. It's all native obj-c now and it's smooth as hell compared to the shittastic FB UIWebView wrapper app. Shame that no one uses it.

 

[blahness]

I do hope they are going to be releasing an iPad app with the new look. That would make my G+ experience complete.
