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

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?

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

kehs · Apr 30, 2012

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.

I'm sooo jelly!

iPhones get it first!!

The end resultwe hopeis an app that brings you closer to the people you care about, and the stuff youre 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 · May 9, 2012

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 · May 9, 2012

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

TeegsD · May 9, 2012

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

ThatObviousUser · May 9, 2012

WTF. Screw you Google.

Battersea Power Station · May 9, 2012

Google makes better apps for iPhone than Android.

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

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

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

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

Treefingers · May 9, 2012

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 · May 9, 2012

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

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 · May 9, 2012

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.

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

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 · May 9, 2012

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.

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.

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 · May 16, 2012

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

kehs · May 16, 2012

Andrex said:

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?

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

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 · May 16, 2012

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