"#Google+, +1, Facebook, Twitter, Scoop, Foursquare, Empire Avenue, Klout and more"

Today we’re pleased to announce a goodie basket full of Google+ features and functionality for you to unpack and enjoy over the holidays. Some of these were on nearly everyone’s wishlist... and some we hope will be welcome surprises. These features will be rolling out over the next couple of days, and we hope you’ll find them useful this holiday season and beyond.

- Pump up (or down) the volume!

- More useful and attractive notifications

- Improvements to Google+ Pages

- A more beautiful and usable photos experience
