Google+ Ver 1º Post para convites!

Bem e ao que parece o Google está já berto a toda a gente, passando de projecto em 'field trial' para 'beta'. Simultaneamente, foram adicionadas montes de novas features:

Google+: 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99... 100.

The Google+ project has been in field trial for just under 90 days, and in that time we’ve made 91 different improvements (many of which are posted here). Google+ is still in its infancy, of course, but we’re more excited than ever to bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to software. Today we’re releasing nine more features that get us that much closer.

92. Hangouts on your phone

(...)


93. Hangouts On Air

(...)


94, 95, 96, 97. Hangouts with extras

Spending time together goes hand in hand with actually doing things together. Dinner with family can easily turn into movie night at the local theater, for instance. And running into old friends can inspire anything from photo sharing to vacation planning. Hangouts has always included a basic set of in-room actions (like group chat and co-viewing of YouTube videos), but we want to make it easier to do a lot more. That’s why we’re previewing some extras, including:

Screensharing: for when you want to show off your vacation photos, your high score, your lesson plan or whatever else is on your screen
Sketchpad: for when you want to draw, doodle, or just scribble together
Google Docs: for when you want to write, plan or present something with others
Named Hangouts: for when you want to join or create a public hangout about a certain topic (like fashion or music or sports...)

98. Hangouts APIs

99. Search in Google+

You’ve been asking for it, and we’ve been busy building it, so today we’re bringing Google’s search expertise to Google+. Just type what you’re looking for into the Google+ search box, and we’ll return relevant people and posts, as well as popular content from around the web.

If you’re into photography, for example, then you’ll see other enthusiasts and lots of great pictures. If you care more about cooking, then you’ll see other chefs and food from around the globe. In all cases, Google+ search results include items that only you can see, so family updates are just as easy to find as international news.

(...)


100. Anyone can sign up for Google+—no invitation required.


For the past 12 weeks we’ve been in field trial, and during that time we’ve listened and learned a great deal. We’re nowhere near done, but with the improvements we’ve made so far we’re ready to move from field trial to beta, and introduce our 100th feature: open signups. This way anyone can visit google.com/+, join the project and connect with the people they care about.

Over the next day we'll be rolling out all of these features globally.

Google+: 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107...

101, 102, 103. You asked for it

We take your feedback very seriously, and we do our best to deliver your most-requested features as quickly as possible. So today we're launching three more things you've been asking for in Google+ mobile:


Improved SMS support. Users in the US and India can now post to Google+, receive notifications, and respond to group messages via SMS (with more countries on the way). To start texting, just verify your phone number in Google+ settings.
Improved +mentions support. To add someone in your circles to a conversation (or simply get their attention), you can now +[their name] inside a post or comment.
+1’ing comments. When you read a great comment in the Stream, you can now +1 it directly from your iOS device (with Android coming soon).

(...)


104, 105, 106. Giving you more choices

The most important part of Google+ is you, so we want to make sure you have meaningful ways to personalize your experience -- from selecting just the right people to share with, to switching between the app, the web, and SMS as you see fit. Today we're excited to bring three new options to mobile users:

Edit your profile photo. You can now put your best face forward, from where you happen to be. Just visit your profile, click edit, and you can choose or take a new picture.
Customize your notifications. Some notifications may be more important than others, especially when you’re on the go. Now you can decide which ones you see (or not) on your phone.
Make some room. If you’re taking lots of photos, or installing lots of apps, then internal storage can sometimes shrink. That’s why you can now move the Google+ app to SD storage on Android devices.


107. So long Huddle, hello Messenger (and hi there, photos)

As we move from limited field trial to open beta, we’re renaming Huddle to Messenger. More importantly, we’re adding new functionality to Messenger that makes group communication even more fun: photo sharing. So now when you’re sitting down for a meal, or kicking back on vacation, you can show your circles what’s happening, right this second:

We hope you enjoy today’s round of Google+ mobile features. There’s plenty left for us to do, so we’ll keep listening, and working to make your mobile experience that much better. In the meantime, you can try the new app (on Android and the mobile web today, and on iOS soon), and let us know what you think.

As melhorias no Hangout são brutais :D
 
Google+ Feature Rollout 3/11/2011

Today Google start rolling out a bunch of new features. Here are the most exciting ones.

Youtube Widget
You will notice a small Youtube icon on the right side next to your "In your circles" box. When you hover it it will expand and reveal a Youtube search box. Just type the Band, Keyword or whatever you like into the box and hit the play button.
An new window will pop up with a playlist related to your search query.

Hangout listing
You are now able to see all the hangouts which are shared with you in a neat box right over the "Start a hangout" button. This is not a real public hangout list like Hangout Canopy

+1 Photos
You are now able to +1 a single photo in the lightbox viewer. The button is located in the lower left corner. It's already available on the iPhone app as well. The Android version will be out soon.

Uma pergunta: isto do Google+ tem futuro como o Twitter e/ou FB? Cumprimentos ;)

Tendo em conta a integração que a Google está a fazer do serviço, usando-o como ancora para quase tudo o resto, acho que mais tarde ou mais cedo vai ter obrigatoriamente sucesso... Agora até no Gmail se podem separar os emails por círculos do Google+, na nova versão do Android a gestão de contactos do telemóvel está umbilicalmente ligada ao Google+.. etc.. etc.. etc...
 
Google Discovery disse:
De acordo com uma pesquisa recente da ComScore, o Google+ chegou a um volume total de 65 milhões de usuários mensais, sendo atualmente responsável por 5% da audiência global as redes sociais.

“Embora esta aprovação rápida tenha sido boa para o Google+, a rede precisa sustentar esse crescimento e apresentar um forte nível de engajamento entre os usuários para melhores indicadores de seu sucesso no futuro”, disse um comunicado emitido pelo instituto.

“Google+ pode emergir como um líder nas redes sociais por direito próprio na próximos anos, mas exatamente o quão grande ele poderá se tornar permanece a ser visto”.

Parece estar a crescer bem. :)
 
Google+ Growth Accelerating. Passes 62 million users. Adding 625,000 new users per day. Prediction: 400 million users by end of 2012.

Google+ is adding new users at a very rapid pace. It may be the holidays, the TV commercials, the Android 4 signups, celebrity and brand appeal, or positive word of mouth, or a combination of all these factors, but there is no question that the number of new users signing up for Google+ each day has accelerated markedly in the past several weeks.

Each week my team from elance runs hundreds of queries on various surnames which we have been tracking since July. We revised our model based on the actual user announcements made by Google on July 13th and Oct 13th.

Here is what the tracking shows so far:

July 13 - 10 million
August 1 - 20.5 million
September 1 - 24.7 million
October 1 - 38 million (Larry Page announced "more than 40m users" on Oct 13th)
November 1 - 43 million
December 1 - 50 million
December 27 - 62 million
January 1 - 65.8 million (forecast)
February 1 - 85.2 million (forecast)

What is really remarkable is that nearly 1/4th of all Google+ users (24.01% to be precise) will have joined in December alone.

If this rate of new signups (625k daily) continues then Google+ will reach 100 million users on Feb. 25th and 200 million users on August 3. They will finish 2012 with 293 million users.

I expect the growth to continue to accelerate however. Google can continue to integrate Google+ into its other products and word of mouth will continue to build. Most importantly, 700,000 Android devices are activated daily and this will become a very significant source of new users for Google+. That number will also grow next year.

As more users sign up, the value of the network will increase for everyone. The network effect will become powerful. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect

It won't be long before new users start encountering family and friends as well as the thriving tech and media sharing community that embraced Google+ early on.

And as more Google+ APIs are released next year, developers will be able to build experiences on top of Google+ and make it even better.

Based on the accelerated growth I'm seeing and all the dials and levers Google can still utilize, and the developer ecosystem that will be developed, I predict that 2012 is going to be a breakout year for Google+ and that it will end next year with more than 400 million users.
